Band Type

Displays the data box type.

Style

Specifies the style for the band type.

Description

Specifies the optional description of the band style.

Gap

Specifies the distance in plotted units between the current data box and the previous data box (or the nearest section view axis).

For bands below the section view grid, the specified gap is measured from the top of the current band to the bottom of the previous band (or the section view bottom axis, if the current band is the first one).

Similarly, for bands above the section view grid, the specified gap is measured from the bottom of the current band to the top of the previous band (or the section view top axis, if the current band is the first one).

Major Interval

Specifies the section view data box major interval distance.

Minor Interval

Specifies the section view data box minor interval distance.

Label End Offset

Specifies whether or not the end of the band is labeled.

Weeding

Used only for labels at vertical geometry points on Section Data boxes. Vertical geometry points or gradient breaks that are closer than the weeding factor are removed, making it easier to read the remaining labels. Enter a positive number to specify a label exclusion distance.

Stagger Labels

Specifies the location of the label staggering line: No staggering, Stagger both sides, Stagger to right, or Stagger to left.

Stagger Line Height

Specifies the height of the label stagger line.

Note: The order in this list is the order in which the bands appear below/above the section view.

Moves the selected data box down in the list.

Deletes the selected data box from the list and removes it from the section view.

Match Major/Minor Increments to Vertical Grid Intervals

Specifies if the cross section box major/minor intervals for section views matches the section view style’s major/minor grid spacing interval distances. Select the check box to match major/minor increments to vertical grid intervals. If this check box is selected, the major/minor interval fields in the List of Bands table are unavailable.
