Plot properties editors allow you to configure default properties for plots as well as customize individual plots.  Some of the features of plots that you can configure are shown below.


  • Title: Optionally, you can add a title to the plot display.
  • Panel Background Color: You can specify the background color of the plot window. By default, the panel uses the same background color the HEC-DSSVue application uses.
  • Curve: You can choose the line and point styles, add a label, and specify data quality symbols to curves.
  • Marker Line: Marker lines can be added on the X and Y axis. You can customize their line styles and give them labels.
  • Viewport Spacer: You can specify the distance between viewports.
  • Callout: You can add descriptive callouts at specific points along a curve. Customize their fonts, borders, and backgrounds.
  • Viewport: You can customize the borders around each viewport, their background color, pattern, and transparency, and the appearance of the gridlines.
  • Label: Label fonts can be customized by color, style, and size. You can also give labels borders and background colors and patterns or choose to hide them.
  • Axis: You can adjust the scale, set a minimum or maximum, major and minor tic intervals, reverse the axis, switch x and y, change label styles and text, and customize tic marks.
  • Legend: You can add titles to the plot legend, specify the legend's location in the plot window, add left and right blocks of text or graphics, change the background color, pattern, and transparency, or remove the legend from the plot window.
