Editing chart properties

To edit the properties of a chart;-

1. (Optional) Select the chart to be edited (see Selection Tools). If there is only one chart in a Chart diagram file then this step is not necessary.

2. On the main menu bar, select Chart > Edit Chart Properties. The Edit Chart Properties dialog opens.

   

3. (Optional) Edit the Chart title. For diagrams with more than 1 chart, each chart must have a unique title.

4. (Optional) Edit the First row number and First column numbers.

5. (Optional) Select the positioning of Column numbers. Note that individual column numbers can be either hidden or edited later.

6. (Optional) Select if the chart represents Circular or Flat knitting.

   Charts for flat knitting always alternate right side (RS) and wrong side (WS) rows. Charts for circular knitting have only RS rows. RS rows have the row number at the right hand side of the chart, whilst those of WS rows are on the left hand side.

7. (Optional) Select if the chart should start with a RS or WS row. This option is only enabled for flat knitting.

8. (Optional) Select if the WS rows should be hidden. This option is only enabled for flat knitting. Support to hide rows for other chart forms will be added in a future version.

9. (Optional) Select if the chart represents two-pass knitting.

   Charts for two-pass knitting alternate two RS rows with two WS rows. A well-known example of this style of knitting is two-colour brioche.

10. (Optional for two-pass) Select if the chart should start with a pass 1 or pass 2 row. This option might be used for a setup row for example.

11. (Optional for two-pass) Edit the labels to be used for the passes and the sides of the work.

12. (Optional) Key Text: The text for key entries is generated when a chart is first created or when a new entry is added, for example, when a stitch is used ina chart for the first time. If the chart has been changed from flat to circular or vice versa or if the stitch library or text template has been edited, then the key text might be out of date. Stitchmastery does not automatically update the key text as doing so would overwrite any manual edits.

    To refresh the key text, select Refresh text in key and check that the desired text template is selected.

13. Select OK.
