CHAPTER 1
Introduction to Results Postprocessing
Posting and unposting of plots to the graphics viewport(s) can be performed. Posting or
unposting of ranges and their corresponding spectrum is also allowable. See the next section
Posting/Unposting Ranges (p. 26).
Posting/Unposting Plots. Once a plot or set of plots has been created, they may be posted
(displayed) or unposted (removed) with the Post action on the Results application form. (This is
also true for Ranges. SeePosting/Unposting Ranges (p. 26) and Spectrum/Range Control
(p. 29) for more detail. Multiple plots may be posted simultaneously. To post or unpost a plot,
do the following:

STEP 1: Set the Action to Post and the Object to Plots from the
Results application form.
STEP 2: Select the plot(s) to be posted. Use the shift key to
select multiple plots and/or the control key to select noncontinuous
selections.
These buttons either deselect all plots from the list box, select
all plots in the listbox, or select only those plots posted to the
current viewport. respectively.
STEP 3: Press the Apply button on the bottom of the form.
The plots will be posted (displayed) and those that were
deselected will be unposted.
When multiple viewports are in use, make sure that you make the viewport to which you want
to post the plots active. The current viewport always has a red border around the graphics. To
change the current viewport, place the cursor in the border of the graphics window (the cursor
will change to hand icon) and click the mouse button. The Post/Unpost listbox plot will update
itself to show what plots are posted to the currently active viewport.
By default all posted plots will be re-posted when a database is opened. This can be overridden
by using a special setting parameter in the settings.pcl file. The function is
pref_env_set_logical(“result_dbopen_display”,TRUE/FALSE)
