Data Master 2003 allows you to describe contents of the plotted data
with plot label objects. Every plot viewer can contain unlimited
number of labels. Every label, in turn, has one of the following kinds:
Other important label attributes are links to the plot axes (keep in mind that in DM2003, any plot actually have four independent coordinate planes), a set of coordinates whose meaning depends on the label type and, of course, the text of label. For all labels except arrow, first pair of coordinates (X1, Y2) are relative position of the label object and don't rely on axes. However, both pairs of coordinates for arrow label and second pair of coordinates for balloon label are scaled in the same way as data points. Use Label Properties Dialog to change label attributes.
To add a label, select one of the appropriate commands, then click plot viewer one (for Text or Legend) or two (for Arrow or Balloon) times. After you finish the sequence, this command will uncheck automatically. Additionally, you can activate this command again to stop add label, or choose another label type, or use any plot tool command.
You may change label properties with plot context menu, or double click appropriate label. However, to apply Edit Actions or use Selected Plot Label properties action, or change label coordinates with the mouse, you need to use Label Editor Tool.
| Title | Description |
| Label Editor Tool | Plot Label Editor Tool |
| Add Arrow Label | Add arrow plot label |
| Add Balloon Label | Add balloon-style plot label |
| Add Plot Legend | Add plot legend label |
| Add Text Label | Add text block plot label |
| Bring To Front | Make selected plot label topmost |
| Send To Back | Make selected label behind other labels |
This command activates label editing mode. Use it to move and select label object. When label is selected, it paints markers that you can use to change label coordinates. In addition, Edit Actions can act on the selected label objects instead of series data.
