Colours Setup

Adjustment of colours is a part of settings made for graphical palettes.

The adjustment of colour and line style can be made separately for each entity type and drawing part. The following parameters can be adjusted for each available entity or symbol:

colour

The user may select from a set of basic pre-defined colours or may mix his/her own shade.

line style

The user may select from a set of available line styles.

width

This parameter defines the thickness of the line.

If the width type is set to pixels, the user may select the thickness in pixels of the screen.

If the width type is set to metric, the user may adjust the thickness in metric units.

width type

This options tell in which units the line thickness is specified.

Pixels are useful if the drawing is "tuned" for screen display.

Metric option is usually the right choice if the final drawing is made on a graphical device such as printer, plotter, etc.
