GraphWorX64 Viewer Properties

The viewer can be used inside the Workbench application, or you can drop a GraphWorX64 Viewer control onto a GraphWorX64 design surface. A GraphWorX64 Viewer can be placed into a GraphWorX64 display, which means you can create a standalone viewer, then use it in any number of GraphWorX64 displays. Note that there are some small differences in how the displays are configured and run in either the Workbench or in the GraphWorX64 standalone application.

To add a GraphWorX64 Viewer within a GraphWorX64 display, click on the Controls ribbon, then on the GraphWorX64 Viewer icon and then click within the main window or draw a box where you intend the viewer to appear.
