Properties

Properties opens the Property Editor, which is a GUI for customizing root locus, Bode diagrams, and Nichols plots inside the SISO Design Tool. The Property Editor automatically reconfigures as you select among the different plots open.

This picture shows the open window for the root locus.

You can use this window to change titles and axis labels, reset axes limits, add grid lines, and change the aspect ratio of the plot. For a complete discussion of the Property Editor, see Customizing Plots Inside the SISO Design Tool" online in the Control System Toolbox documentation.

Note that you can also activate this menu by double-clicking anywhere in the root locus away from the curve.

The are only three pages in the Property Editor: Labels, Limits, and Options. The configuration of each page differs, depending on whether you're working with the root-locus, Bode diagrams, or the open-loop Nichols plot. Click the Help button on the Property Editor you have open to view information specific to that editor, or click on the links below:

• Root locus
• Bode diagram
• Nichols plot.
