Description

Specifies optional description of the band type

Gap

Specifies the distance between the current data band and the adjacent profile view grid or data band. For bands below the profile view grid, the gap is measured from the top of the current band to the bottom of the band or grid above it. For bands above the profile view grid, the gap is measured from the bottom of the current band to the top of the band or grid below it.

Geometry Points

Label Start Station

Specifies whether the start end of the band is labeled.

Label End Station

Specifies whether the end of the band is labeled.

Label Origin

Specifies whether the profile view origin is labeled with its station and elevation values.

Weeding

Used only for labels at vertical geometry points on profile data bands. Vertical geometry points or grade 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.
