Configure a basic SA_GainLossChart symbol using ArchestrA attributes

The basic configuration of a SA_GainLossChart_Pairs symbol shows a chart consisting of 10 chart bars oriented vertically. Each chart bar contains paired measured values that represent gains and losses. The symbol shows a chart heading and descriptions of the horizontal and vertical chart axes.

For the sake of simplicity, this procedure shows how to configure a simple chart symbol consisting of only two chart bars.

Note: Chart bars that show gain values have a white background. If necessary, place a non-white background behind the symbol to provide contrast to see the chart bars.

Prerequisites

This procedure explains how to configure a basic symbol using references to ArchestrA attributes.

• Create four ArchestrA user defined objects that include a field attribute with a Float data type. Each symbol chart bar needs paired gain and loss attributes.

• Create an InTouch application with a window to verify that the symbol has been configured correctly.

To configure a basic SA_GainLossChart Symbol using ArchestrA attributes

1. Embed the symbol in another symbol in the Industrial Graphic Editor.

   3. Repeat steps a and b to assign reference values to the remaining custom properties and click OK.

7. Save the symbol and check it in.

8. If necessary, deploy the Galaxy containing the object with attributes that are used as reference values of the custom properties.

9. Double-click an instance of InTouch ViewApp to start WindowMaker.

10. Embed the symbol containing the symbol in an InTouch window.

11. Run the application in WindowViewer to verify that your basic symbol configuration works correctly.
