Figure 31: Dropdown temporal variable selection in Time Series Plot.

As shown in Figure 31, there are two green icons to the left of the variable name pulldown. These icons provide information about the resolution of the rendering in the plot. The NumPlotsGoodIcon2 indicates that every selected point has been drawn as a line in the plot. Once the selected points exceed the maximum number of plots, the NumPlotsGoodIcon2 icon changes to NumPlotsBadIcon, signaling that not all lines are being drawn. The ResolutionGoodIcon2 indicates that each line is being drawn at full resolution. If the sampling in the time series data exceeds the maximum plot resolution, the icon changes to ResolutionBadIcon, alerting you that lines are not being drawn using the full number of samples.

The threshold values for both the maximum number of plots and the maximum plot resolution are user adjustable through Model Preferences. The default values for these variables are 33 and 500, respectively.
