Panel: Presets

The Presets Panel is used to create, recall, and manage presets. Presets are text files stored in the current Blender file. The naming convention is like this: chart_xxxxxx.py.

Presets are imported to the current .blend file’s text data.

Note

Presets save the values for the four (4) Geometry Node Groups:

• CSV_ChartArea

• CSV_Data

• CO_Multi_Object

• VO_Multi_Object

Some values are bypassed and not saved by presets. These include:

• “Name_Label_String”,

• “Value_Main”,

• “Longitude_X”,

• “Lattitude_Y”,

• “Elevation_Z”,

• “Name_Label_String”,

• “Value_Main_Min”,

• “Value_Main_Max”,

• “Value_Main_Sum”,

• “Instance_Collection”,

• “CSV_Coordinates”

Creating and naming a Preset

Here a custom spiral chart has been created. After clicking “New Preset” a new Preset is saved with the name “chart_1”. The Preset is then renamed to “The Spiral” and is available in the Dropdown.

Hint

Load another preset then the new preset to test if everything saved correctly.
