The global settings that affect the layout of the chart as a whole. These settings do not influence what is drawn but just how things are drawn. Following tables describe the settings available for this chart type (additional to the settings available for all chart types).
Setting |
Description |
Show legend |
Defines if a legend will be shown or not. The legend will contain entries for all time series, that are not hidden. Default: false |
Legend location |
Defines where the legend will be shown in the chart. Options are left, right, top or bottom.
|
Show units |
If true the units of the time series will be shown in the legend entries. Units are derived from the display settings of numeric properties or from the first value of a series of quantity properties. Default: false |

Setting |
Description |
Coloring scheme |
Defines how time series are colored. You can choose from a predefined list of options •Use color from pins and features •Use color palette |
Naming of series |
This setting defines how the name of a time series is displayed (e.g. in legend). You can choose from a predefined list of options. •Feature type + feature + property •Feature + property •Property •Text Template |
Naming text template |
A text template that can be used to define the naming of series. Only effective if Naming of series is set to Text template. |

Setting |
Description |
Grid Color |
Color setting that specifies the color of grid lines Default: No color (grid will not be shown) |
Show horizontal grid lines |
Boolean setting that defines if horizontal grid lines (parallel to X-Axis) are shown Default: false |
Show vertical grid lines |
Boolean setting that defines if vertical grid lines (parallel to Y-Axis) are shown Default: false |
Table 3: Settings in the Grid group defined by this chart type
The value over time chart type allows the definition of up to 10 sub-graphs. Each sub-graph can be configured separately. Table 4 shows the settings available for each sub-graph. Each sub-graph contains settings for the left and right Y axis of that sub-graph. These settings are described in Table 5.
The setting Alternating colors is a Boolean setting that defines if the background color of each second sub-graph shall be different, so that sub-graphs can be more easily distinguished.
Setting name |
Description |
Name |
Text setting that defines the name of the sub-graph. This name will be shown on the Y axis of the sub-graph. Default: Subgraph <n> |
Relative height |
Numeric setting that defines the height of the sub-graph. The height of the sub-graph in the rendered chart equals a percentage of the total chart height. This percentage is calculated by dividing the specified height value with the sum of all height values defined for sub-graphs that have associated pins. Minimum value: 1 Default: 1 |
Settings for left Y axis |
See Table 5 |
Settings for right Y axis |
See Table 5 |
Table 4: Global chart settings available for each of the 10 sub-graphs
Setting name |
Description |
Axis name |
Text setting that defines the name of the Axis. |
Logarithmic scaling |
Boolean setting that defines if this chart axis will use logarithmic scaling. Default: false |
Axis Color |
Color setting that defines the color in which the axis is drawn. Default: Black (RGB: 0,0,0) |
Scaling Method |
Enumeration setting that defines how the axis is scaled, i.e. how the minimum and maximum value shown on the axis are determined. Following options are available: •Fixed: Uses the settings scaling minimum value and scaling maximum value to specify the scaling. •Min-Auto: Uses the setting scaling minimum value for the lower boundary of scaling. The upper boundary is automatically determined based on the time series that are bound to the axis.. •Auto-Max: Uses the setting scaling maximum value for the upper boundary of scaling. The lower boundary is automatically determined based on the time series that are bound to the axis.. •Minimum interval: Uses the settings scaling minimum value and scaling maximum value to specify the scaling. If however the time series contain data that is out of these bounds the scaling will be automatically adapted. |
Scaling Min value |
Numeric setting that defines the minimum value shown on this axis (only effective for some specific values of the Scaling Method setting) |
Scaling Max value |
Numeric setting that defines the maximum value shown on this axis (only effective for some specific values of the Scaling Method setting) |

Setting name |
Description |
Time axis labels |
Enumeration setting that defines how the labels on the time axis (X-axis) are displayed. Simple: Standard way of showing date & time values. Smart: A more sophisticated way of showing time-labels, especially useful if the chart covers a long time range. Default: Simple |
Scaling |
Enumeration Setting that defines the scaling (i.e. the minimum and maximum value shown on the X-axis). •Automatic: Will scale the X-axis according to the data displayed. •Use observation filter: Will use the time-boundaries of the observation filter. |
Table 6: Settings in the UConfiguration's Time axis group
Besides data where for each point in time the chart shows the corresponding value on the chart's Y-axis, the time chart can also show observations of features as events, i.e. it can show the sampling and result time stamp of observations as vertical lines or rectangles across the whole Y-range of the chart. The UConfiguration's Events group is used to configure the display of events. You can define up to 3 feature's whose observations will be shown as events. Table 7 summarizes the settings available for each of these 3 features.
Setting name |
Description |
Event feature |
Feature setting that is used to define the feature whose observations shall be shown as event. |
Event name property |
Property setting used to select a property of the feature-type's observation property structure that will be used to label the event in the chart. You can select any level 0 string property of the observation property structure. If null, the chart will not show any textual description of the event. |
Event class property |
Property setting used to select a property of the feature-type's observation property structure that will be used to classify the events. You can select any level 0 classification property of the observation property structure. The chart will display the events in a color according to that classification. |
