Creating a new blank layout

New Layout

To create a new layout from scratch:

  1. On the Vizex tab, in the Plot group: Select Open | New Layout.
  2. In the New layout dialog, select the Blank option:

  1. Double-click anywhere on the layout to display the Page Setup form. Set the page size and the orientation of the plot and use the spin boxes to enter or select the margins of the plot. A red box which represents the area of the plot, is highlighted in the layout window. 
  2. You can now build your layout by adding frames to the plot.
  3. Save your layout by clicking the Save button on the Plot Editor toolbar.

New layouts can be completed by applying a template and modifying the results to suit your requirements.
