determining, by the at least one processor, the display changing from operating in the first display orientation to operating in a second display orientation that is different than the first display orientation,wherein the second display orientation is associated with the display displaying at least one VDP graph using a second VDP graph configuration different than the first VDP graph configuration,wherein the second VDP graph configuration indicates a second quantity of VDP graph windows to be displayed, and wherein the first quantity differs from the second quantity,wherein the second VDP graph configuration includes at least one large VDP graph window and at least two small VDP graph windows, andwherein, in response to determining the display changing from operating in the first display orientation to the second display orientation, the display changes from displaying a first VDP graph using a first large VDP graph window of the at least one large VDP graph window of the first VDP graph configuration to displaying the first VDP graph using a first small VDP graph window of the at least two small VDP graph windows of the second VDP graph configuration, and the display changes from displaying a second VDP graph using a first small VDP graph window of the at least two small VDP graph windows of the first VDP graph configuration to displaying the second VDP graph using a first large VDP graph window of the at least one large VDP graph windows of the second VDP graph configuration; and
displaying, by the display, the second quantity of VDP graphs using the second VDP graph configuration while the display is operating in the second display orientation,wherein the first display orientation comprises one of a landscape orientation and a portrait orientation, and the second display orientation comprises the other one of the landscape orientation and the portrait orientation.

Abstract
Methods and system pertaining to displaying vehicle data parameters (VDP) are described. A vehicle service tool (VST) with a display can receive vehicle data messages or signals from a vehicle to receive the VDP. Some of the VDP can be associated with a PID. The VST can display VDP thresholds and indicators when a received VDP has breached a VDP threshold. The VST can determine being changed from a landscape orientation to a portrait orientation or vice versa and responsively change the presentation of VDP graphs displayed by the display. The display can receive various inputs such as a drag-and-drop or pinch-and-expand input to alternatively change the presentation of the VDP graphs being displayed. Changing a VDP presentation of graphs can include resizing or repositioning one or more VDP graph windows including a VDP graph.
