2 - 3   Frames

All plots and sketches are displayed within frames. Initially, the Tecplot 360 EX workspace contains one frame. You may add additional frames, resize and reposition frames, modify background color, and specify border and header appearance. Tecplot 360 EX acts upon only one frame, The Active Frame, at any given time (however, frames may be linked, so that changing one may also change others). The active frame displays with a darker, thicker border than the inactive frames so that you can easily see which frame is active.

note00023.pngTecplot 360 EX uses the height of the frame for objects scaled by frame units, such as font size. When you enter a frame unit value into a dialog or when you set frame size and position on the paper, you may specify a different unit system (inches, points, centimeters, or pixels). Tecplot 360 EX automatically converts the values into frame units.
