Graph Properties Dialog Box

Use this dialog box to specify and view basic information about the current graph.

Properties

Name
A read-only field that displays the name of the graph, as derived from its file name.
File
A read-only field that displays the location and name of the graph file.
Tip: To navigate quickly to the file location, drag to select the path text (excluding the file name), press Ctrl+C to copy, then paste into the address field of a file browser such as Windows Explorer.
Graph GUID
The read-only globally unique identifier of the graph file.
Version GUID
The read-only globally unique identifier of the current version of the graph file.
Version Major/Minor/Revision
Enter version numbers in these user-defined fields.
Last modified
The read-only date and time of the current version of the graph file. This is equivalent to the Date Modified field in Windows.
Created
The read-only date and time of the first version of the graph file. This is equivalent to the Date Created field in Windows.
Author
Enter author information in this user-defined field.
Company
Enter company information in this user-defined field.
Copyright
Enter copyright information in this user-defined field.
Url
Enter a Web address for further information in this user-defined field.
Category
Enter category information in this user-defined field.
Note: You can use the Category field to specify where in the interface your graph output appears. For example, when creating a geometry object, if you don't specify a category, it appears on the Object Type rollout the Max Creation Graph category on the Create panel.

However, you might specify a different category, such as My Objects. Then, upon evaluating the graph (or installing the package), that category is created, if necessary, and the object appears on its Object Type rollout instead.

Is Simulation
Controls whether the graph is simulated. Simulation graphs are evaluated every frame, and have an extra Simulation rollout to control the simulation. For more information, see Creating a Simulation Graph.
Description
Enter a description of the graph in this user-defined field.

Custom UI

Enter code to customize the rollout, if desired. See Modify the Default Rollout of an MCG Tool.
