**Placeholder to create the axis title**
   If available, UniPlot uses the NC attribute long_name to set the axis title.
   In this field you can specify how the long_name attribute is created from the
   channel name and the unit name. Examples: ``Torque [Nm]``, ``Torque in Nm``, 
   ``Torque/Nm``, ``Torque/(Nm)`` or in two lines.

   In the placeholder the channel name is replaced by ``nnn`` and the unit name
   is replaced by ``uuu``.

   If you want the name and the unit in two lines insert the characters ``\n``,
   example: ``nnn\nin uuu``.

.. us.dlgitem

**Legend Text**

   Specifies how the legend text is created:

   **"Channel Name, e.g. BSFC"**: Only the last dataset channel name
   is used, e.g the y- channel name for a 2D dataset.

   **"NC-Attribute long_name, e.g. BSFC [g/kWh]"**: The attribute NC file
   attribute ``long_name`` of the last data channel is used as the legend text.

   **"Filename plus Channel list, e.g. test.nc (speed, BSFC)"**:
   This is the default type.
