Graph Usage
Thanks to the Gearing
Commander Site Supporters I was able to buy a license for Flash
Graphs software !
With this software I created 6 different graphs that will help you
understand the results in the GC main page better.
Requirements
To be able to
use these charts or graphs, you need to have Adobe Flash installed on
your computer.
For viewing the graphs in the Online version, (free) Adobe Flash
version 8 or higher needs to be installed.
For being able to save the charts locally, (free) Adobe Flash version 10 or
higher needs to be installed but... As it were the site supporter
who paid for the license, they are the only ones who can save the charts
locally from their Gearing Commander
Stand Alone Version.
But just try the graphs and if you do not have the correct Adobe Flash version installed, the website will tell you so and present a link for a free download of the latest Adobe Flash version.
Usage
Using the graphs is easy, just use the GC normally, that is either
fill all gearing data fields yourself or load them from the database.
Then change various fields in Custom and Current setup to reflect your
current and considered setup. Then click one of the buttons under the
result tables that say they lead to a graph. Simple as that !
When clicking one of
these buttons you will be taken to a new -empty- page. Empty ? Yes, well
initially.
These graphs need to be loaded by clicking a button. So every time you
go to a graphs page, you have to load the data for the graph by
clicking the "Load-Graph-Data" button.
Also on the graph pages there are Help buttons which open a popup window (so enable pop ups for GC) with some additional info about the involved graph.
To print a
graph, put the cursor above the graph and click right mouse button,
choose 'Print Chart' and print.
In most graphs you can get some additional information on the values by
hovering over the graph at intersections of grid lines and data lines
like shown here:
To return from the graphs page to the Gearing Commander main page, just use the button "Back to GC Main page".
Information on saving graphs locally is to be found in the Stand Alone Version Help files.
For help on individual graphs, see Speed Graph Help and next pages.
