I am trying to caption a few traces on a MonteCarlo Transient Graph using text balloons. Where are they? The HELP display shows a text balloon button, but it isn't on my toolbar. Is this just another item that was promised then forgotten?
In Genesys 2006.07 there is a "Show/Hide Annotation Toolbar" button. On my computer, it has a letter 'A', an orange rectangle and a turquoise circle. Click that and you should see a new toolbar that contains, among other things, a text box tool. It that what you were looking for?
No, a text box is just a box with text in it. A text balloon (which was a feature several generations ago that was dumped then re-promised in the HELP file) looks like a text box but has a comet's-tail that you can swing around to point to any portion of your graph. This is extrememly useful, as the HELP menu appreciates, but it is absent from the toolbar.
The info balloons now work pretty well (in the pre-release version of Genesys).
Here's a tip: you can double-click a balloon and copy the text to the Window's clipboard. Then you can paste the tooltip info into Word (or any other Windows application).
