Plot Designer: Plot Series
The Plot Series sub-tab is available on the Transient Stability Analysis dialog and the PV Curve dialog on the Plot Designer sub-tab of the Plots page. The vast majority of features for plotting are common to both Transient Stability and PV Curves. In cases where there is a difference in functionality it will be denoted in the help documentation.
This tab provides information about the plot series that is currently selected in the Plots, Subplots, Axis Groups list found on the Plot Designer sub-tab.

Symbol Every
Set this option to something other than zero if a symbol should be placed on the line for better identification. Making this value larger will make the symbol placing less dense. Use the Point Attributes options to define the style and size of the symbols.
Conversion of value to plot
These options will allow to have plots based on the following options: Actual value, Percent of initial value, Deviation from initial value, or Percent deviation from initial.
Point Attributes
