Plot Settings

[Anonymous]

We would like to put a watermark diagonally across the resultant plot, but adding the watermark prior to the plot dialog box appearing is not really suitable as the user may pick a window to plot for example that may miss the watermark.
Essentially we would require the watermark across any type of plot, not just of the whole drawing/current page setup

I have made a customised simplified plot dialog that either plots the current display, current page setup or allows user to define a window, but would like to utilise the plot preview via the PREVIEW command, but this appears to only show the plot as defined by the page setup, so I cannot display a preview if the user picks a window.

So, I thought I might ask the following in hope against hope that it may be possible, before continuing with a customised version

Is there anyway possible from the plot dialog box, after pressing OK, to deal with the plot settings and do something like add text prior to the plot being actually plotted.
Even something cheap and nasty like selecting OK but not actually sending the plot, getting the settings from what would now be the previous plot, then using those settings to set the watermark and then issue another plot command

Or if anyone has any other suggestions, I'm all ears.

Thanks

Hi,

IMHO you can not do that, at least not with VBA and/or VLISP. What you want
to do is within, in the "middle" of a command, while the only reactors
available for linking to a command are :vlr-commandWillStart and
:vlrcommandEnded, :vlr-commandCancelled and :vlr-commandFailed.

HTH,

Constantin
