Tutorial Task #6
Inserting a Scene Parameter
One of the ways you change how a scene looks is to use a
Scene Parameter. In this task, you insert a scene parameter with a specified variable to effect the appearance of the scene.
In the Scenes panel of the World Manager, right-click Orders and select Insert
Parameter.
In the Insert Parameter dialog box, enter Sbacklog in the Name text box. Select Text from the Data type list box. Enter n in the Has default value text box. Click OK.
Make sure you are in the Scene editor and click Design Mode.
Right-click anywhere on the scene background and select Properties.
From the Object Inspector list box, select Piechart1.DataElement1.OrderSummary1 and, in the property cell next to Dbacklog, enter the value Sbacklog.
Tip
To easily differentiate your variables, you might want to use a naming scheme such as an initial S for scene parameters, an initial G for global parameters, and an initial D for data elements.
