Annotating events and locking the cursor
Two tools help you mark and compare specific moments: Annotate for labeled event markers, and Lock cursor for frozen readouts.
Annotating events
- Click “🏷 Annotate” in the Tools row.
- Click the chart where you want a marker, and give it a label.
- Drag the label to move it out of the way of the data.
- Use “Clear all” to remove every annotation, or “Done” to close the tool.
Multi-line labels
The label box is a growing text area, and the hint under it spells out the contract: “Enter saves · Shift+Enter adds a line”. Press Shift+Enter to drop to a new line inside the label, Enter on its own to save, and Escape to cancel. Labels render those newlines as real line breaks on the chart, so a two-line callout stays two lines.
Locking cursor readouts
- Click “🎯 Lock cursor” in the Tools row.
- Click the chart to freeze the readout at that spot — up to four locks.
- Compare the frozen values across your locked positions.
- Double-click a lock line to remove it, or “Clear all” to remove them all.
Colored readouts
Each locked row lists every visible channel as “name=value”, drawn in that channel's line color behind a small square swatch — the same pattern the hover readout and the measurement summary use. Reading four locks side by side, the color tells you which line a number belongs to without checking the sidebar.
FAQ
Can I label events on the chart?
Yes. The Annotate tool drops labeled markers where you click, and you can drag each label out of the way of the data.
How do I put an annotation label on two lines?
Press Shift+Enter inside the label box to insert a newline. Enter on its own saves the label and Escape cancels; the chart renders the newlines as real line breaks.
How many cursor readouts can I lock?
Up to four. Click to lock a readout at a spot; double-click a lock line to remove it.
