Graphic Parameters
Orbit's graphic engine can be controlled by many graphic parameters. These parameters can be set by the legend definition.
Using a classification, you can specify which graphic parameters should be modified by the attribute classes you set.
Grouped Graphic Parameters
| Group | Allows to specify a value for each class in the classification for : |
|---|---|
| All Parameters | all parameters according to the spatial type |
| Group : Line | all Line-related parameters only |
| Group : Fill | all Area-related parameters only, determining the fill for the area. |
| Group : Point | all Point-related parameters only |
To edit grouped parameters, a popup editor window appears presenting the according parameters in one window.
Basic Graphic Parameters
Overall Parameters
These parameters have general use, overruling other more detailed parameters
| Parameter | Comment | Component |
|---|---|---|
| Parameter : Visibility | Renders this model visible/invisible |  |
| Parameter : Color | Sets overall color |  |
| Parameter : Transparency | Sets overall transparency |  |
Parameters for Points
These parameters are valid for all appearances of symbols, indicated by the prefix of the parameter name :
| Parameter Pattern | Comment |
|---|---|
| Parameter : Symbol.<name> | the basic display of objects of spatial type Point |
| Parameter : Symbol.<name> | the symbol placed on the lines of objects of spatial type Line |
| Parameter : Symbol.<name> | the symbol placed on an outline of objects of spatial type Area |
The parameters available in the classification list are equal to the parameters presented on the Symbol Parameters Editor window.
Note : The use of Units in graphic parameters is explained at the end of this page.
Parameters for Lines
These parameters are valid for all types of Lines, indicated by the prefix of the parameter name :
| Parameter Pattern | Comment |
|---|---|
| Parameter : Line.<name> | the basic display of objects of spatial type Line |
| Parameter : Outline.<name> | the outline of objects of spatial type Area |
| Parameter : Fill.Hatchline1.<name> | the optional appearance of hatch-type fills for objects of spatial type Area |
| Parameter : SymbolRepetition.<name> | the parameters for an optional symbol appearance on Line or Outline |
Note : The use of Units in graphic parameters is explained at the end of this page.
Parameters for Areas
The parameters for Area consist out of Fillings (area-specific parameters) and an Outline. Outline parameters equal Line parameters as you can read above.
| Parameter Pattern | Comment |
|---|---|
| Parameter : Fill.<name> | the fill display of objects of spatial type Area |
| Parameter : Fill.Hatchline1.<name> | the optional appearance of hatch-type fills for objects of spatial type Area, which are defined as lines. |
