WINDOW_DRESSING... Menu: Controlling Screen Appearance

WINDOW DRESSING... menu: Controlling screen appearance

The "dressing" that can be added to plots: date, header, triad, etc is controlled from this window.

It also controls the "soft" window size.

 

Controlling "Window Dressing": HEADER , DATE , BORDER , DISP MAG, CLOCK, TRIAD , CONTOUR_BAR

This figure shows the main "Window Dressing" attributes. Each of these can be switched on or off at will, the default being everything except the DATE, GRATICULE and BORDER are on. The Window Size shown in this example is User Defined so that the borders are visible, but the default is Full Screen . 

These options are all straightforward, with the exception of the GRATICULE ( see Graticule for more details ).

Controlling the "soft" window size: W indow Size

By default the graphics can extend over the complete window area, and no "soft" window clipping is in force. You can restrict the graphics to a sub-set of the screen, i.e. to a "soft" window, by settings a Window Size .

This is controlled by the radio buttons in the middle of the Window Dressing control panel, as shown here.

There are four pre-programmed options:

Full screen
(Default) use the whole screen
Part screen
Leave contour bar and header clear
Report format
Set dimensions for local hard-copier
User defined
Set screen rectangle using the mouse

The meaning of each of these is shown in the figure below:





If a window contains multiple models then by default D3PLOT will display multiple titles in the window. Turning off the Display All Titles option will make D3PLOT display just the title form the 1st model in the Window.

Contour Range Label
(Default) The option will display the range label over plots for each window.
Display Titles
(Default) The option will display the title for each model.
Display D3PLOT Prefix
(Default) The option will display the "D3PLOT" prefix for each model.
Display Filenames
Instead of displaying the title of each model this option will display the filename of each model.
Display Database Labels
If a model had been read in using the model database option (see Select Models From Database ) then instead of displaying the title of each model this option will display the label used to identify the model in the database.
Display Directories
Instead of displaying the title of each model this option will display the parent directory and filename of each model
Max number of characters
This controls the maximum number of characters displayed in the header.
