5.2.4 VIRTUAL POINTS
The VIRTUAL POINTS pane displays the data points that belong to the graphic.
A virtual point is created for every data point used in the graphic. Each virtual point has a binding property that
displays the ID or query that fetches information from a data point at runtime. A single virtual point can be
associated with many graphic components.
Use the VIRTUAL POINTS pane to do the following:
● Create smart labels [➙ 134].
● Bind data points to a graphic component [➙ 135].
● Rename a virtual point [➙ 136].
● Add a new tag or property tag to a data point [➙ 138].
