The Graphic Objects

The Graphic Objects

All plots in Gsharp are made up of graphic objects, such as graphs, title, notes and arrows.

The Object Hierarchy

The objects belong to a hierarchy, with each object belonging to another object. For example a graph object must always belong to a viewport object and a viewport object must always belong to the topmost object, the page.

The objects and their hierarchy are described in Using Graphic Objects.

The Hierarchy Browser is a useful tool for viewing the hierarchy of a graph that has been created. It can also be used for selecting, deleting and editing objects.

Object Resources

Each object has a number of resources which describe that object. For example the viewport object has a background color resource and the page object has a size resource. Every object has an editor for viewing and editing its resources:

The Arrow Editor
The Axis Editor
The Datasheet Editor
The Domain Editor
The Graph Editor
The Legend Editor

The Logo Editor
The Note Editor
The Page Editor
The Title Editor
The Viewport Editor
