# Graphical Panels: Panel Properties

Just as [tools have properties](/vspy-3-documentation/vehicle-spy-main-menus/main-menu-measurement/graphical-panels/graphical-panels-tool-properties.md) that control their appearance and behavior, so do panels themselves. These are accessed through the same side panel as tool properties, and are similar in layout and function.

To access panel properties, ensure that the panel is [unlocked](/vspy-3-documentation/vehicle-spy-main-menus/main-menu-measurement/graphical-panels/graphical-panels-lock-panels.md) and the right side panel isn't [hidden](/vspy-3-documentation/vehicle-spy-main-menus/main-menu-measurement/graphical-panels/graphical-panels-select-and-work-with-panels.md). Then simply click any blank area in the panel (where no tools are located). You will see four tabs: the **Font Tab**, **Tools Tab** and **Grid Tab** are identical to those shown under [tool properties](/vspy-3-documentation/vehicle-spy-main-menus/main-menu-measurement/graphical-panels/graphical-panels-tool-properties.md). The **Properties Tab** for a panel is shown in Figure 1, and its elements described in Table 1.

| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Caption      | The name of the panel. This name is shown in the [list of panel tabs](/vspy-3-documentation/vehicle-spy-main-menus/main-menu-measurement/graphical-panels/graphical-panels-select-and-work-with-panels.md), and right-clicking a tab and selecting **Rename** will bring you to this property to edit. |
| BackColor    | Specifies the background color of the panel.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           |
| RemoteClient | Allows you to select a PC to make a connection for remote graphical panels.                                                                                                                                                                                                                            |
| RemotePanel  | The name of the remote panel to which a connection should be made.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     |
| UpdateRate   | The rate at which the remote panel should be updated.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.intrepidcs.com/vspy-3-documentation/vehicle-spy-main-menus/main-menu-measurement/graphical-panels/graphical-panels-panel-properties.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
