Font Size - This defines the font size of graph text.
Bar Size - Bar Chart Only. This defines the bar height for Bar Charts.
Only Collect Data for a Defined Time Interval - This option creates a time period during which statistics for this graph will be recorded.
From Time - This defines when statistics will start being recorded.
To Time - This defines when statistics will no longer be recorded.
Interval - This defines how often a line graph will update.
Time Scale - This defines the time scale that numbers will be displayed in along the x-axis.
Y Axis Title - Text that will display along the Y Axis.
X Axis Title - Text that will display along the X Axis.
State Statistic Graphs
Display Type - This option changes the display style of graph.
Display Current State Only - This option is only availbe for Table of Values charts. Displays the current state name of objects.
Combine All into One Pie - This option combines all pie charts into a single pie chart. It averages the values from all objects.
Show Totals Instead of Percentages - This option changes the displayed values from percentages to overall totals.
Show Legend - This option adds a legend to the graph.
Precision - This defines the number precision of graph text.
Font Size - This defines the font size of graph text.
Bar Size - Bar Chart Only. This defines the bar height for Bar Charts.
Only Collect Data for a Defined Time Interval - This option creates a time period during which statistics for this graph will be recorded.
From Time - This defines when statistics will start being recorded.
To Time - This defines when statistics will no longer be recorded.
Post-Process Filtering
If the Collect Entire State History for Post-Process Filtering option is checked, FlexSim will record when each state change occurred for every object in the graph. After running the model, you can check the Filter By Time option and enter a time interval in the From and To fields. If you then click Apply or Update, the graph will display the state data for just that time interval. The Filter By Time option is unchecked when you Reset the model.
Financial Analysis
Currency - This options changes the prefix of each value to be displayed. The Other option allows you to define a custom string value, or leave the field blank to display no prefix.
Precision - This defines how many numbers will be displayed right of the decimal point.
Font Size - This defines the font size of graph text.
Only Collect Data for a Defined Time Interval - This option creates a time period during which statistics for this graph will be recorded.
From Time - This defines when statistics will start being recorded.
To Time - This defines when statistics will no longer be recorded.
Gantt Chart
Display Type - This option changes the display type of graph. This may either be States or Item Trace.
Show Legend - This option adds a legend to the graph.
Font Size - This defines the font size of graph text.
Bar Size - This defines the bar height.
Only Collect Data for a Defined Time Interval - This option creates a time period during which statistics for this graph will be recorded.
Interval Type - Some charts may have an additional option of specifying the Interval Type, like the Gantt Chart. The Interval Type can be set to:
- Absolute Time: Starts collecting data at the From Time and ends collecting data at the To Time.
- Time Window: Collects data for a specified length of time. The Length field defines the length of time from the first recorded statistic to the last recorded statistic and dynamically updates as the model runs. As the data is gathered in a model run, data from the start will be removed in order to keep all of the data in the chart within the specified length of time.
From Time - This defines when statistics will start being recorded.
To Time - This defines when statistics will no longer be recorded.
Tracked Variable Graphs
Display Type - This option changes the display style of graph.
Show Legend - This option adds a legend to the graph.
Normalize Values - This option shows the values of the histogram as a percent, rather than an actual value.
