Description

Language

Select which language should be used for Spotfire when it is started. This setting affects the language used in the application, but not in the data itself. Language settings for the data are controlled by the Column Properties. Changes here take effect the next time Spotfire is started.

Rendering

 

    Renderer Settings...
   

Opens the Renderer Settings dialog that sets the default renderer for different content types. This is applicable when displaying links, images, geometries, etc. in table visualizations or as labels or tooltips.

Graphics

 

    Hardware acceleration

    

Allow the usage of hardware acceleration.

    Use Skia as graphics backend

    

Clear the check box to use SystemDrawing instead of Skia as the default graphics backend.

Protocol handler

 

    Set as Default Spotfire Version
   

Click this button to make sure that the current version of Spotfire is used when you open Spotfire analysis files via links to the library. Registering a default version is only necessary if you are running several different versions of Spotfire on your computer (e.g., a gold version and a beta version).

Development

Select this check box to make the development menu available in the Tools menu.
