Editing the General Properties of a Graphic

You can configure the general properties of a graphic. The general properties determine the overall appearance and behavior of the graphic. You can:

• Add a meaningful description to your graphic.

• Enable anti-aliasing, or smoothing, for your graphic to improve its appearance. The anti-aliasing filter essentially blurs the elements slightly at the edges.

• Allow or prevent the opening of more than one graphic or display from a graphic. One example is a graphic with multiple Show Symbol animations. If this option is enabled, you can open more than one pop-up and each pop-up is modeless.

1. Click on the canvas so that no elements are selected.

2. In the Properties Editor, type a meaningful description for the Description property.
