Rearranging an MSC
The following topics are discussed:
Resizing an MSC
Resizing Automatically
When you append objects by double-clicking, the MSC Editor will automatically enlarge the MSC size when the MSC has grown so that it reaches the bottom or right of the drawing area. The drawing area is enlarged according to the value of a preference parameter.
Resizing Manually
- Display the MSC you want to resize.
- From the Edit menu, select Drawing Size. A dialog appears.
- Type in the new width and height for the MSC within the allowed range.
- Click OK. The MSC is resized accordingly.
Changing the Spacing
When the MSC Editor layouts an MSC, it makes use of a horizontal and vertical spacing parameter that affect the total height and width of the MSC. All instances and events on instances are positioned with an integer multiple of the spacing parameters.
- From the View menu, select Insert Options (see Insert Options). A dialog appears.
- Drag the sliders for a coarse adjustment. Click left or right on the slider bar for a fine adjustment.
- Smaller values will give the chart a compact appearance that may possibly make it more difficult to read. Text associated to symbols may overlap other symbols and text. Symbols may overlap each other.
- Larger values will give the chart a less cramped appearance and makes it easier to read to the price of a larger size.
- Click OK.
