Configure Canvas Plots

Select a canvas plot to edit it in the Model Inspector.

Behavior settings

Available controls depend on plot type:

• Plot Type changes the visualization.
• Series / Flows chooses model output.
• Layers can set mark type, axis, opacity, line width and style, fill, markers, endpoint labels, ribbons, or comparative behavior.
• Faceting separates array data by a selected dimension.
• Markers add a single X or Y reference.
• Shaded Bands highlight a range using fixed values or variable values.

When a Bar plot uses Histogram presentation, controls include bin count, range, statistics, PDF normalization, and cumulative display. Heatmaps include color range and color-bar ticks.

Style settings

Common options include:

• Left/Right Axis or X/Y Axis titles to label scales
• Set zero axis if possible
• Y Min / Y Max and Time Window to constrain the visible range, with reset buttons to restore automatic ranges
• Table Time Orientation, Start Time, Stop Time, Interval, and Reset Table Range (Auto)
• legend visibility and position
• playhead value box and hover tooltip
• grid, border, and transparent background
• built-in or shared custom palette
• per-series colors
• line style and width
• marker shape, size, stroke, and fill
• alternating row and column colors, automatic or fixed column widths and row heights, and export marking
• click a row or column header to toggle its highlight; click it again to clear it. Shift-click another header to toggle the range between the anchor and clicked header.

Both Vertical and Horizontal tables use the model time units in the time header. Horizontal tables retain each selected series name in its row, and changing the orientation does not rename the series.

Export

Use the selected plot's context menu to export PNG, JPG, SVG, or PDF.

Limitations

• A plot cannot display a variable absent from the available simulation result.
• Manual limits can hide valid data; reset to automatic limits when a plot appears empty.
• Comparative layers require compatible saved runs and the intended runs enabled for comparison.
