Application Setup Plot Page

The Plot page of BlockSim/RENO's Application Setup allows you to set the default display preferences for each new plot sheet that you create from this computer.

• Use the Default Settings for Numbers in Axis Labels area to set the precision displayed on the plots. High precision values can cause numbers to print on top of other numbers in the plots.

• • X-Axis/Y-axis Math Precision sets the number of decimal places shown for each axis on the plot. Please note that the tolerance on the precision is limited by Windows to 15 digits.

  • X-Axis/Y-axis Scientific Tolerance sets the point at which the software will switch to scientific notation for axis labels.

• Use the Default Settings for New Plot Sheets area to set the options for new plots. Note that changing an option does not apply to existing plots.

1. • Select Enable auto refresh to activate the auto refresh option every time you create a new plot sheet.

   • Select Show legends on plots to display descriptions of curves, points and other information shown in plots.

   • Select Show user, date and time to display the user name, date and time on plots. The user information comes from you user account in the current database (see User Login and Contact Information window) and is displayed at the bottom right corner of the plot.

   • Select Show outline on plots to display the canvas border on the plot.

   • Select Show program ID on plot to display the software name and URL in the Header Title section of the plot (e.g., BlockSim - www.ReliaSoft.com).

• Other Options

• • Select Interactive plot to highlight each point, line, slice or bar on the plot when you move the pointer over it. Point coordinates/values will be displayed on highlighted objects.

• BlockSim Plots  

• • To include the reliability and importance values for diagrams that contain static blocks (i.e., blocks that use a constant model), select the Allow plotting reliability and importance for diagrams with static blocks option.

• RENO Plots  

• • Use the Ranking Method - Probability Plot drop-down list to specify the ranking method (Median Ranks or Kaplan-Meier) that is used in the flowchart Probability plot.

• Set Color Limits opens the Set Color Limits window, which allows you to set the color limits used in bar charts. Choose the metric of interest from the Plot Type drop-down list. You can then set both lower and upper color limits by dragging the markers on the scale between 0% and 100%. For example, in a Block Expected Failures plot, the blocks are displayed according to their RS FCI values, so if you wanted to change the default color limits used in that plot, you would choose RS DECI/RS FCI from the Plot Type drop-down list, then use the sliders to specify the desired color limits.
