Visualization style settings

The "Visualization style settings" dialog window serves to set the plot style (line type and color) for visualization on the desktop or for printout, respectively. It contains a group of tab sheets that correspond to individual data input regimes. The tab sheets serve to set the style for drawing objects, which are specified in the related input regime.

The "Global" tab sheet defines the settings common to all input regimes (background color, color of elements to be deleted or modification and style of drawing of inactive elements).

The program implicitly contains two standard settings of styles and colors, particularly for black or white background. The setting can be modified in the combo list on the tool bar. User settings can be defined, i.e. a user can specify a style of drawing and store that style with the help of the button on the tool bar into the "Style manager".

The following picture shows an example of a tab sheet for setting the plot in the regime "Water". Individual columns of the table contain (moving from the left):

Item
  • list of items plotted in a given input regime (here, e.g., water tables, dimensions, gradient, water pressure….)
Active
  • shows / hides a given item in the active regime "Water". In case the option cannot be turned off (the field has a gray background – in this case items "Tables" and "Water pressure") the visualization on the desktop is mandatory!
Inactive
  • shows / hides a given item in other input data regimes. Visualization color depends on the assumed setting in the tab sheet "Global"
Desktop
  • determines the item color displayed on the desktop
