Text Substitution

In all locations where the plot properties editors allow you to enter text, for example: the Plot Title, Legend Title, Axis Labels, Legend Labels, etc. you can use text substitution. Text substitution is when you set the text using predefined keywords based on Date/Time and DSS related information. These keywords will be used as a look-up and replaced when the text is used in the plot window according to the selected DSS data.
In order for Keywords to be recognized as such, they must be bracketed on each side by % characters. For example: %BPART% would result in the "BPART" of the DSS path being written in the final display text. If you would like to have the actual percentage sign in the display text, use two % characters in a row %% and the second one will be displayed.
By default, the first DSS path provided in the plot will be used for the text substitution. However, adding a colon and integer value to the substitution keyword will instruct the substitution algorithm to use a different path. For example %BPART:3% would show the "BPART" of
the third DSS path provided in the plot. If there were less than three paths proved in the plot, the last DSS path listed would be used for the substitution.
Text substitution keywords may be mixed with fixed text.
For example:
The text: Final Results at %BPART%
Would display: Final Results for SHASTA
Using the DSS path: //SHASTA/ELEV/1HOUR/01JAN2000/ALT1/
