A selector panel is a control that can link to a graph. It has buttons that allow the control panel user to select channels or bands on the graph.
Once the Selector Panel is tied to a graph, you can change its properties, including whether it will select bands or channels on the graph. To select the panel for editing, click anywhere between its borders and the buttons on the panel:
Individual selector buttons may be edited as well.
NOTE: Graphs can be managed in the Custom Panel designer and, once the Custom Panel is activated, utilized by the end user.
NOTE: Overlapping controls, especially graph controls, can result in unexpected behavior and/or appearance of controls. Use caution if you choose to overlap controls.
