Explore the Blackboard window settings to create and organize variables.
The Blackboard displays and manages variables available for use in the graph. You can create, edit, delete, and organize variables, as well as drag them to reorder them. You can also drag variables directly onto the graph canvas for immediate use.
The Blackboard window contains the following properties:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| + | Creates a new variable of the same data type as the variable you last created. |
| Type selector dropdown | Opens a window, so you can create a new variable with a new data type. |
Each variable in the Blackboard window contains the following settings:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Data Type | Displays the data type of the variable. Select Change to convert the variable to a different data type. |
Other variable settings depend on the type of variable.
