Dynamic Formatting Overview
The Dynamic Formatting dialog will allow the specification of how a graphical object will be rendered
depending on the power system object that is representing. The graphical object refers to objects in
the oneline diagram, in bus and substation views, as well as to some parameters of the case
information displays.
The case and the one-line diagrams will have each a list of Dynamic Formatting settings. The Dynamic
Formatting settings defined in the case are always applied to bus and substation views, and optionally
they can be applied to the case information displays. The one line diagrams will use its own settings,
but optionally can use the general settings defined with the case.
In general, the oneline dynamic formatting settings have a higher priority, followed by the case
dynamic formatting settings, and this can't be reversed. Also, inside each of the list of dynamic
formatting settings, a priority can be specified, so that objects can be rendered according to the
settings with the highest priority.
In the case of the oneline diagrams, the dynamic formatting settings will only be applied during Run
Mode. However, these settings can be modified at any time, without regard for the mode.
