WzMultiView Overview
WzMultiView lets you arrange and annotate multiple plots in a single drawing area. The multiple plot can then be printed for use in reports or presentations.
WzMultiView uses rectangular graphic objects called view objects. Each time you draw a view object inside the WzMultiView drawing area, you are prompted to select an active VDA Tool. The graphics from the selected VDA Tool are then displayed in the view object.
You can create as many view objects as you wish. View objects can be selected and moved just like any other graphics object, such as boxes, lines, and text.
 
note
Avoid using the PV‑WAVE DEVICE command at the WAVE> command line when VDA Tools are running.
WzMultiView Features
The WzMultiView Tool lets you:
*Display graphics from other VDA Tools in view objects.
*Define the size and position of view objects.
*Annotate view objects.
The WzMultiView Tool maintains links to the VDA Tools in which the original graphics were created. If the original graphics are modified, the changes are reflected in WzMultiView when you click the Redraw button.
For example, assume that graphics from a WzPlot Tool were displayed in WzMultiView. If you modify the graphics in the WzPlot tool, the changes are reflected in the WzMultiView Tool when you click the Redraw button.
