There are two types of Plot Tokens (Figure 12.41):
•Plot Information
•Quad Information
Please see below for more details on them.
Figure 12.41 - Selecting Plot Token from the Select Token Type dialog
Once a Plot Information token is created the Edit Plot Information Token dialogue box will open and allow you to define and edit the token as appropriate. It is also possible access this dialogue box at a later point, by right-clicking on the token (Figure 12.42). The following properties of the token are available to edit:
•Display Text - defines if the token should display the Token Value (default), Token Description, or a user-defined Text.
•Font - changes the font depending on the value of the token based on a list of classifications.
•Plot Element - defines which information the token should display (see the table below for more details).
