<li> Use the add button [[File: Animation_add_button.PNG | 20px]] to add a plot
<li> Select the source of the plot lines that
<li> Select the plotting lines to add to the plot. Users can add more than one or split the lines onto multiple plots. If the line is on secondary axis, this will be retained unless the need for the secondary axis becomes redundant (i.e. it's the only line on the plot)
<li> Set the position. This is only the starting position and can be moved later in the print layout
<li> Set the plot properties. When the user clicks this button, TUFLOW Viewer will calculate the min/max for the plot axes. For lines on the cross-section and vertical profile plots, this can take some time as TUFLOW Viewer will need to step through every timestep to find the min/max values.<br>

<li> Plot Title - can be useful to indicate which where the plot was extracted from by aligning the title with labels in the print layout
<li> Axis labels - will be populated with default values
<li> Axis Limits - will be populated with calculated extents and the extents can be recalculated using '''Auto Calc'''
<li> Legend - legend can be added or removed. Legend location options are not as extensive as the TUFLOW Viewer itself, most notably 'Auto' is not available. 'Auto' can cause the legend to change location during the animation which is undesirable behaviour.
<li> Grid lines can be toggled on/off
<li> Figure Size - will default to 100 x 100. This can be changed in the print layout and the plot will be re-rendered prior to the animation to fit the desired size.
</ol>
<li> If the plot point/line was drawn by the user (not a vector layer), a graphic object will be added to the appropriate location to indicate the extraction location. This can be toggled off by unchecking this box.
<li> Label for the graphic object - this can be changed later in the print layout
<li> Label position relative to the graphic object
<li> Label properties:<br>
