GraphWorX64 has a set of layout tools on the Design ribbon that help you quickly get the look and feel that you want your display to have. This can be a great time saver, as well as an important quality control feature as you can use it to impose a specific look and feel consistent with your application, business, or design goal. All of the features on the Design ribbon also appear in the Properties tab for finer control and modification.
On the Design ribbon there are three sections:
Display Settings section. The ability to change common properties for the ThisDisplay object. You can enter a width or height, set a background color, automatically scale the window when it is resized, preserve the display's uniform aspect ratio when scaling the display, and allow runtime users to zoom and pan in the display (or prevent users from zooming and panning). In addition to being on the Design ribbon, all of these properties are available on the Properties tab for the This Display object.
Templates section. A template is a display style where the orientation and position of panes, the background, colors, and fonts; templates are saved in their own templates folder. When you open a template you apply the settings of the template to your display. In the Template section click the down arrow to display the Template Gallery you have to choose from.
Transitions section. Transitions are special effects that are applied when your display closes or looses focus, and another display is opened in the same window. The effects works in a similar manner to Microsoft Office PowerPoint presentations. It's easy to apply a Transition, you simply select the transition from the Transitions section. The transitions towards the end of the list are special 3D only transition and apply to 3D displays only.
You can also set the Transition in the Properties tab. To do this, make sure ThisDisplay is selected, then go to the Properties tab, scroll to the bottom of the properties' Runtime section, click the Transition property's down arrow and selection one of the options.
