Plot Designer: Title Block

 

The Title Block 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 title block for a given plot.
