Use this tab to specify the details of the section view band, including title text, layout, and labels and ticks values.
Note: Both Section Data and Section Segment band styles are explained in this topic.
Layout
-
Band Height
-
Specifies the height of the band in plotted units. Enter a positive value in plotted units.
-
Text Box Width
-
Specifies the width of the band text box in plotted units. Enter a positive value in plotted units.
-
Offset From Band
-
Specifies the distance from the band to the text box in plotted units. Enter a positive value in plotted units.
-
Text Box Position
-
Specifies the location of the title text box with respect to the band.
Labels And Ticks
-
Type
-
Specifies the type of labels and ticks.
Note: To compose labels, select the type from the list. Adjust parameters as required. Click Compose Label.
The following types are available for section data bands:
- At Major Increment: Composes labels at major increments along the band and displays selected tick mark(s) at each major increment. The default is Small Ticks At, with Top and Bottom selected, each with a Tick Size of 0.1000”.
- At Minor Increment: Composes labels at minor increments along the band and displays selected tick mark(s) at each minor increment. The default is Small Ticks At, with Top and Bottom selected, each with a Tick Size of 0.1000”.
- At Centerline: Composes labels at centerline and displays selected tick mark(s) at centerline. The default is Full Band Height Ticks.
- At Sample Line Vertices: Composes labels at each sample line vertex along the band and displays selected tick mark(s) at each sample line vertex. The default is Small Ticks At, with Top and Bottom selected, each with a Tick Size of 0.1000”.
- At Grade Breaks: Composes labels at each grade break along the band and displays selected tick mark(s) at each grade break. The default is Small Ticks At, with Top and Bottom selected, each with a Tick Size of 0.1000”.
- At Incremental DIstance: Composes labels at incremental distances along the band. Click Compose Label to set label styles in the Label Style Composer dialog box.
The following type is available for section segment bands:
- Segment Label: Composes labels at each segment along the band and displays selected tick mark(s) at each major increment. The default is Full Band Height Ticks.
When you select a Label and Tick type, the appropriate default values for Full Band Height Ticks and Small Ticks At are displayed.
-
Full Band Height Ticks
-
Specifies whether the tick is drawn at the full band height. This is the default value for the Centerline type.
-
Small Ticks At
-
Specifies whether ticks that are smaller than the size defined in Tick Size are drawn. The default for all types (except Centerline) is selected for both Top and Bottom and cleared for Middle. Select or clear one or more check boxes as required.
- Top: Draws the small tick(s) at the top of the selected type.
- Middle: Draws the small tick(s) in the middle of the selected type.
- Bottom: Draws the small tick(s) at the bottom of the selected type.
Tick Size: Specifies the height in plotted units of the Small Ticks. The default is 0.1000” for Top and Bottom ticks and 0.2500” for Middle ticks. Enter a positive value in plotted units.
-
Compose Label
-
Composes labels at major/minor increments, centerline, sample line vertices, and grade breaks for the section data band or section segment label. For more information, see Label Style Composer dialog box.
Note: The Offset From Centerline property in Section Data bands is measured perpendicularly to the alignment. The Distance From Centerline property is measured along the sample line. If the sample line is skewed, the Distance From Centerline value will therefore be different than the Offset From Centerline value. If the sample line is perpendicular, then these values will be the same.
