### Changing Background Colors and Line Widths

The General Display Config dialog box lets you change background colors for a portion of the charts and line widths of various chart elements. To access this dialog box, select Options | Chart Display | General Config. This dialog box has these two tabs: Background and Line. These are discussed in the following sub topics:

Changing Background Colors

Background tab

The Background tab contains tools allowing you to select a specific background color for your charts. Note however that the background color is not applied to the area containing the plotted points but is applied to the rest of the chart.

You can either select from the suggested grid of colors or you can define your own color by "flipping" the grid, just as you do with defining dimension colors. See the "Understanding Feature Colors" topic for information on working with colors.

When you click OK Datapage+ sets that color as the new background color. This color gets applied the next time you send data to the Charts tab.

Sample Run Chart with an Orange Background

To set the background color back to its default, click Default and then OK.

Save - Saves the currently defined items on the dialog box for subsequent sessions. When you log back into Datapage+ at a later time, the software will used this saved configuration.

Default - Loads the default configuration.

OK - Applies the current configuration until the end of your current session. When you log back into Datapage+, the software will use the saved configuration (or the default configuration if no saved configuration exists).

Cancel - Closes this dialog box.

Changing Line Widths

Line tab

The Line tab lets you change the width for different line elements used in various charts. When you click OK Datapage+ will use any changed line settings the next time you send data to the Charts tab.

Sample Run Chart with an a Nominal line width of 8 and a Spec line width of 4

To set the line widths back to their defaults, click Default and then OK.

Save - Saves the currently defined items on the dialog box for subsequent sessions. When you log back into Datapage+ at a later time, the software will used this saved configuration.

Default - Loads the default configuration.

OK - Applies the current configuration until the end of your current session. When you log back into Datapage+, the software will use the saved configuration (or the default configuration if no saved configuration exists).

Cancel - Closes this dialog box.
