The Pie Chart/Gauge Style Dialog is available from any of the pie chart/gauge dialogs by selecting Show Style Dialog or from Options > Oneline Display Options… > Pie Charts/Gauges on the Pie Charts/Gauge Styles tab.
This dialog lists options that can be commonly applied to pie chart/gauge objects so that these same options do not have to be set for every individual object. The defined styles can be applied to any of the new pie chart/ gauge objects that include Areas, Buses, Generators, Injection Groups, Owners, Substations, Super Areas, Switched Shunts, Transformers, and Zones. These styles are currently not applicable to Lines and Interfaces. Some options are related to options that are set for individual pie chart/gauges. More information about individual object settings can be found in the Pie Chart/Gauge Dialogs section.
The Pie Chart / Gauge Example shows how the fields in this dialog affect the pie chart or gauge display. The items shown in the diagram are explained in more detail throughout this section and in the Pie Chart / Gauge Dialogs description.
