Automatic zoom frame

[Pieczarek]

Sometimes it is necessary to show a zoom of a measurement and to mark which area of the complete measurement is shown.

Proposal:

Connect two Graph Objects in that way, that one shows the complete measurement and one a zoomed area. The zoomed area should be marked in the first Graph automatically and be actualized if the scaling of the zoomed Graph is changed  (see picture):

Possible solution: if you copy a graph-object and after that you change the scaling of the copied-one, then a rectangle will show the zoomed area in the first graph. There could be an option, that copied graphs are automatically connected together as long, as they contain the same channels. As long as this link between the multiple graphs is active, the source(mother)-graph will automatically show the zoomed areas of all child graphs as colored rectangles.

Hi Pieczarek,

How is this different from the "Scroll Cursor Range" feature that has been in DIAdem VIEW for ages?  If you use the Frame Cursor to define the scroll region, I think you get what you're requesting.

Hi Brad,

that´s right, but I´d like to have this in REPORT too. Actual you can only use the "tranfer to Report"-button, but this overwrites the report-layout and changing the layout back or to draw the frame manually is not really an ease of work.

I use VIEW to find an event in the data, but in REPORT yout have to consider the remaining space on the page too and maybe to readjust the zoom frame (that´s slightly a diffenerent view to the same task). It seems to be more useful to use the axes scaling parameters for this rather than cursors.

Hello Pieczarek,

Thank you for your suggestion. This is a very specific request for REPORT which is already implemented in VIEW. You can use this VIEW functionality and the function transfer to REPORT or create it manually in REPORT (as you already did). It is also possible to create script for a similar functionality. But because of the very rare request for this DIAdem extension we decided not to take it in consideration. We hope for your understanding.

Greetings

Walter
