Grid Tab (Mass Haul View Style Dialog Box)

Use this tab to specify clipping, padding, and axis offset options on the mass haul view grid.

Grid Options

Clip Vertical Grid

Specifies that vertical grid lines are drawn only between the mass haul line and the balancing line. Select Omit Grid In Padding Areas to specify that vertical grid lines are not drawn in the padding areas.

Clip Horizontal Grid

Specifies that horizontal grid lines are drawn only between the mass haul line and the balancing line. Select Omit Grid In Padding Areas to specify that horizontal grid lines are not drawn in the padding areas.

Grid Padding

Grid Padding (Major Grids)

Specifies a value (in major grid blocks) that adds to the extents of the mass haul view in relation to the mass haul line it contains. This creates a graph that is taller than the extents of the mass haul line drawn in the mass haul view.

Above Maximum Point On Graph

Specifies the number of grid blocks that extend the mass haul view above the maximum point on the graph. This creates a graph that is taller than the extents of the mass haul line.

Below Minimum Point On Graph

Specifies the number of grid blocks that extend the mass haul view below the minimum point on the graph. This creates a graph that extends lower than the extents of the mass haul line.

To Left

Specifies the number of major grids to place before the left-most chainage value of the alignment. This creates a graph that is wider than the extents of the mass haul line.

To Right

Specifies the number of major grids to place after the right-most chainage value of the alignment. This creates a graph that is wider than the extents of the mass haul line.

Axis Offset

Note: The axis offset distance is specified in plotted units, based on the Drawing Units and Scale settings specified on the Units and Zone tab of the Drawing Settings dialog box.

Axis Offset (Plotted Units)

Specifies the distance (in plotted units) to offset the mass haul view’s horizontal and vertical axes from the grid extents (including padding). This creates a blank area between the axis and the grid.

Above Maximum Point On Graph

Specifies the distance to offset the horizontal axis above the vertical extent.

Below Minimum Point On Graph

Specifies the distance to offset the horizontal axis below the vertical extent.

To Left

Specifies the distance to offset the horizontal axis to the left of the horizontal extent.

To Right

Specifies the distance to offset the horizontal axis to the right of the horizontal extent.
