When a data object is created by loading data, creating a source, or applying a filter, a property sheet is associated with that data object. To view this property sheet, select the data object from the list of objects in the Select menu on the main Menu Bar, or select the item from the Selection / Navigation Window. This will cause the property sheet to be displayed in the Left Panel below the Selection / Navigation Window.
The property sheet associated with the item has three tabs - one marked Parameters that contains parameters for the reader, source or filter that generated this data, one marked Display which controls properties which affect the visualization of the data, and one marked Information with general information about the data object. This chapter is dedicated to the Display tab of this property sheet.
