To specify the exact position of the text object, use the Location page of the dialog. See Positioning
the Graphics Objects for details.
To specify the text of the label, type the text of the label in the Text field.
In many cases there is a need to specify a text that depends on the opened data file, the variable in
the graph, etc. NeuroExplorer uses Template Strings to accomplish this task.
Template String is a string enclosed in brackets (for example, <VarName> ). During the drawing
process, NeuroExplorer tries to find the actual string for each of the template strings. If the actual
string is found, the template string is replaced by the actual string. For example, if the variable used in
the graph is Neuron04a, the <VarName> string in the text object is replaced by Neuron04a.
Insert button in the Text Edit Dialog opens a menu that allows you to insert various Template Strings
into the text object. You can also manually type in the template strings into the text field of the dialog.
Here is the list of available template strings:
<VarName> - replaced by the name of the variable used in a graph. Works in the graph labels only.
<ColVarName> - replaced by the name of the variable used for a column of graphs. Works in the
page labels only when the analysis has a reference variable and the reference type is Table.
<RowVarName> - replaced by the name of the variable used for a row of graphs. Works in the page
labels only when the analysis has a reference variable and the reference type is Table.
<Bin> - replaced by the bin value in seconds.
<BinMS> - replaced by the bin value in milliseconds.
<RefName> - replaced by the name of the reference variable. Works only when the analysis has a
reference variable.
<NumRef> - replaced by the number of reference events. Works only when the analysis has a
reference variable.
<FileName> - replaced with the name of the data file.
<FilePath> - replaced with the full path of the data file.
<Date> - replaced with current date.
<Time> - replaced with current time.
<Smooth> - replaced with one of the three strings "None", "Boxcar" or "Gaussian", depending of the
current smooth selection. Works with histogram-type analyses only.
<SmoothWidth> - replaced with the smooth filter width. Works with histogram-type analyses only.
<IntFilter> - replaced with the name of the Interval Filter.
<FirstInt> - replaced with the first interval of the Interval Filter (if Interval Filter is specified), or the
interval from 0 to the end of experiment (if the filter is not specified).
