If you create a new Array Result element in Edit Mode or you click on the Result Properties button at the top of the display window when viewing an Array Result chart or table, the Properties dialog for the result will be displayed:
Note that when you press this button while viewing results, it does not close the result display window you were displaying. Both windows are displayed simultaneously (although you can subsequently close one or the other). When viewing results, any changes you make to the Result Properties are immediately represented in the result display.
The Result Properties dialog is always modal. That is, it cannot be minimized, and with the exception of viewing the result display (which can be displayed simultaneously and share the focus with the Properties dialog), it retains the focus while it is displayed. As a result, you must close the Result Properties dialog before you can edit any other part of your GoldSim model.
The Result Properties dialog for an interactive Array result looks like this:
At the top of the page is a button to Create Element. By pressing this button, a Result element is created. When you do so, the key change that will be noticeable is that the Name will now be editable. The Create Element button becomes an Appearance button (which is used to modify the appearance of the element itself).
The Show Result >> button opens a result display window (while keeping the Properties dialog simultaneously open.
The output being displayed by the Array result is listed directly to the right of the Array Result text. If you click on the output, it will open a browser, allowing you to select a different array (you must select an array; GoldSim will not allow you to select a scalar output). If you click on the Remove button (the red script X just above the Columns… button), it will remove the selected output (and replace it with “<Click to select>”. You would then need to click this to select another array.
The Label defaults to the name of the result being displayed. However, you can edit this (to make it more readable). It is displayed on the vertical axis of charts.
The Rows… and Columns… buttons provide access to a dialog for selecting which items to show in the display (and in the case of matrices, the Columns… button also provides access to a dialog for selecting the style of the bars shown in the chart). The Columns… button is only available for matrices.
The Properties dialog for an Array Result element has several differences:
•The Create Element button is replaced by an Appearance button (which is used to modify the appearance of the element itself).
•The Name (and Description) are editable (since this is an element).
•An Options… button is available that provides access to the Monte Carlo Result Display Properties.
