To create a diagram

1. Open the area in which you want to create the diagram.
2. Select Diagram ® Create or press CTRL + SHIFT + D. The Diagram Properties dialog box appears.
3. Type a unique and descriptive name and an optional description.
4. Check the boxes for the window elements (title bar, status bar, etc.) you want to include on the diagram window.
5. In the Caption group, choose what you want to show in the title bar of the diagram window. Title Bar must be enabled to use this option.
6. Check the Name to Menu box to include the name in the Diagram menu.
7. Check the Keep Window box to disable automatic closing of the diagram.

• During supervision, a user defined number of diagrams can be open simultaneously. By default, when more diagrams than the specified number are opened, IGSSwill automatically close the first one.
  With the Keep Window option checked, the diagram will not be closed automatically.

8. In the Background group, include either a background picture or a background color.

Consider carefully which diagrams to include in the Diagram menu, as you can include max. 40 diagrams per area. Of course, you are not limited to defining 40 diagrams, the remaining ones will merely have to be accessed via click-sensitive fields or buttons.
