Setting up trend properties
The Trend Properties dialog box contains several tabs, in which you can set up the
trend’s data, appearance, and behavior:
 In the General tab, set up the trend’s data server (real-time or historical polling),
chart title, chart style, and update mode.
 In the Display tab, set up the appearance of the trend display.
 In the Pens tab, set up pen tags and expressions, and the appearance of pens in the
trend.
 In the X-Axis tab, set up the trend’s horizontal axis.
 In the Y-Axis tab, set up the trend’s vertical axis.
 In the Overlays tab, add or remove snapshots of historical data.
 In the Template tab, set up properties for trend templates.
 In the Runtime tab, set up ways to interact with the trend at run time.
 In the Common tab, set up the trend’s size and position in the graphic display.

You can also copy a trend object by dragging it from one graphic display to another.
