3.3. Positioning the Graphics Objects


Every graphical object in NeuroExplorer has its parent. Thus, the Block of Graphs is a parent of all
the page graphics objects. The Graph is a parent of all the objects inside the graph (X and Y axes,
variable label, etc.).


A position of any graphics object is always specified relative to its parent. When you move or resize
the owner, other objects will move together with their parent.


There are several types of coordinates units that you can use to position the objects.


For X coordinates, NeuroExplorer has the following options:


Graph Width. With these coordinate units, 0.0 corresponds to the left edge of the owner, 1.0
corresponds to the right edge of the parent.


Inches From Left. Here 0.0 corresponds to the left edge of the parent. If you want on object to be 0.3
inches to the left of the parent, specify X as -0.3.


Inches From Right. Here 0.0 corresponds to the right edge of the parent. If you want on object to be
0.3 inches to the right of the parent, specify X as 0.3.


Graph Data. With these coordinate units, X coordinate corresponds to the graph X axis.


For Y coordinates, NeuroExplorer has the following options:


Graph Height. With these coordinate units, 0.0 corresponds to the bottom edge of the parent, 1.0
corresponds to the top edge of the parent.


Inches From Bottom. Here 0.0 corresponds to the bottom edge of the parent. If you want on object
to be 0.3 inches below of the parent, specify Y as -0.3.


Inches From Top. Here 0.0 corresponds to the top edge of the parent. If you want on object to be 0.3
inches above the parent, specify Y as 0.3.


Graph Data. With these coordinate units, Y coordinate corresponds to the graph Y axis.


Use Location tab in the graphics object Edit dialog to specify the object's position:
