Section D Graphic Display
D-12
In order to achieve more uniform positioning, it is possible to display a Background Grid. There
is an option of 5 fixed grid sizes. The grid setting applies both to the graphic and to the graphic
pool displays. While a display is being constructed the grid can be altered and switched on and
off.
When Snap is activated, only the grid points are available for positioning, i.e. the user does not
have to click on the desired grid point exactly, but only sufficiently near it. The grid point nearest
to the cursor is then selected. The grid and snap settings are independent of each other, i.e. a
grid may be defined without snap being activated, or snap may be activated without a visible grid.
D 3.3 Toolbox
→Options → Toolbox → Off, Right, Left, Top or Bottom.
If Off is selected the toolbox is not visible. Right, Left, Top and Bottom cause the toolbox to be
positioned along the respective edge of the screen.
For a description of the toolbox, see page D-9.
D 3.4 Limiting the draw area
→ Option → Limitation → 640x480, 1024x768, 1600x1200 or Off
The area in DigiVis available for a graphic display varies, depending on the resolution setting of
the monitor. The standard size (10240 x 6184 virtual pixels) is optimized for a monitor
resolution of 1280 x 1024. For the monitor resolutions 640 x 480, 1024 x 768 and 1600 x 1200
pixels, a limitation line can be shown in the lower section of the graphic display. This enables
graphic objects to be positioned perfectly in the draw area available.
