List of base graphic parameters for network editors

You can set the following graphic parameters independently for every Network editor. You can also change graphic parameters during the simulation.

Long name Description
Background color

Background color in 2D mode

Show map

Display or hide background map in 2D mode. The desired map must be selected in the base graphic parameter Map provider.

Map provider

Select a background map from a background map provider

Map gray scale

Display background map in gray tones or color

Map intensity

Background map color intensity: 0 = no color, 100 = maximum color intensity

Wireframe mode

Toggle wireframe

Show scale

Show or hide scale at the bottom left of the Network editor

Show grid

Show 20 m grid as help to position network objects. If you zoom out the network substantially, the grid is no longer shown.

Showing the simulation time label

In the Network Editor, the current simulation time is displayed in simulation seconds or as the time [hh.mm.ss]. The simulation time is also recorded during the recording of video files.

  • Simulation has not been started: 0.00 simulation seconds or the time 00:00:00
  • Simulation in Continuous mode: Simulation time continues to run
  • Simulation in Single step mode: The simulation time shown is the time at the current single step. If you continue in the Single step mode, the simulation second displayed will only continue to run after the time intervals specified in the simulation parameters under simulation resolution have ended (Defining simulation parameters).
Simulation time label position

Display position of simulation time in the Network Editor

Simulation time offset

Relative position of simulation time to the label position in the Network Editor

  • First value: x position, default 15
  • Second value: y position, default 30
Simulation time label font color

Show logo

Display the logo at the Logo position. The logo graphic file is selected in the Logo filename box.

Logo position

Logo offset
  • First value: Number of pixels by which the logo is moved towards the x-axis.
  • Second value: Number of pixels by which the logo is moved towards the y-axis.
Logo file name

Automatic Level Transparency

 Select this option to draw network objects on underlying layers with a decreasing level of transparency.

 If this option is not selected, the network objects on all layers are displayed the same way.

3D mode

Toggle 3D mode

Selection color

Color of selected network objects

Rubberband color

Color of rectangle dragged open with the mouse for network object selection

Show compass

The compass rose to show the cardinal direction in the Network editor Red tip = North

Compass position

Display position of compass rose in the Network Editor You may turn the compass rose.

Compass offset

Relative position of compass rose in the Network Editor

  • First value: x position, default 0
  • Second value: y position, default 0
Show legend

 Select this option to display the legend at the legend position. The legend contains a description of the symbols and colors of the network object types, for which under Graphic parameters, you selected Legend contains <parameter>.

Legend offset
  • First value: Number of pixels by which the legend is moved towards the x-axis. Default 10
  • Second value: Number of pixels by which the legend is moved towards the y-axis. Default 10
Legend position

Position in Network editor Default value Bottom right

Legend scale

Factor for enlarged or reduced display of the legend. Value range 0.01 to 100. Default 1.0
