For trend objects, you can customize line width and color in the Pens tab of the Trend
Properties dialog box. For more information, see Chapter 23, Setting up trends.

Naming graphic objects

When you create a graphic object, it is assigned a name automatically.

In the Common tab of the object’s Properties dialog box, or in the Property Panel, you can
give the object a new name.

An object’s name is used when logging events for the object. It is also used with
commands. For example, when using the Invoke command to call a method, you must
specify the name of the object in which the method is implemented.

The object’s name is also shown in the Object Explorer. For more information, see
page 16-5.

Assigning tags and expressions to objects

To assign tags or expressions to an individual object, use the Connections tab in the
object’s Properties dialog box, or in the Property Panel.

The following illustration is of the Property Panel for a maintained push button. In the
Connections tab, you can set up a Value tag and an Indicator tag or expression.
