Profile window settings

Settings for profile window.

Additional data below profile (profile data, etc) is drawn outside actual coordinate area and they need to have separately reserved space in the title file. This can be done by recucing the size of the CLR-area which defines the coordinate axis positions.

Background color

Background color can be chosen from the Windows color palette. Other colors that the program uses can be chosen in Settings/Code file.

If you set black color as the background color, the other windows will get the same background color. When printing to paper a white background will be used automatically. Color 1 in color table will be changed automatically, if it is same as background color. There is also shortcut key F12 for quickly cycling through black, white and user background color.

In Element settings you can define default color for file elements using Shift-color button.

Symbol scale, Text scale

Scale factors for symbols and texts affect their appearance on screen only, not on paper. This is usually done to improve the clarity while editing data by making them bigger.

Z scale

Height scale multipler to normal scale defined in paper settings.

Axis text size

Text size in millimeters for horizontal and vertical axis.

Fetch distance

The distance how far program tries to find additional drawing elements. From main window bore files all soundings inside the given distance are fetched. With distance value zero only intersecting line positions are shown. Checkbox turns point fetching on.

Axis interval

If the checkbox is On axis spacing will be locked to the given value. Otherwise the spacing will alter according to window (or paper) size.

If you input negative value for spacing, no lines are drawn. Tick marks and value are written normally.

Zero axis width can be increased by changing the system code 9090 line width.

Profile data

To show additional data related to a profile. Some function store some section related data to a profile, like the radar function Haescan.

Profile height

Shown height values in the lower part of the drawing. Multiple surfaces separated by comma can be given and their height values are shown using surface's color.
