Objects possess a lot of properties describing the object. E.g. the
file name or the data type of a spectrum is a property of a spectrum object.
These properties are required in the software for two reasons. The application
evaluates the properties of an object to determine which operations are
allowed with this object. The user gets some additional background information
from the properties of an object, e.g. the file location on his hard disc
or the data type.
Properties cannot be changed by the user, because this would change
the characteristics of an object. User defined object properties are called
labels and they can be added and customized to
your demands.
Properties are organized in categories (e.g. "General", "x-Axis")
and are shown in the properties
tab of the application.
Properties can be added to the printout of an object either by activating
the print
properties flag in the print layout or by inserting the corresponding
placeholders
into a print text field. Activating the print properties flag will print
all available object properties, whereas adding a placeholder will only
print the referenced property.
Please refer to the sections
"General Object Properties" and "Print Layout Placeholders"
in the chapter "Printing" for further details about the available
printing options.
