Setting the graphic parameters of the Line block editor

Similar as for the network display, you can set the desired graphic parameters for the block view display of line blocks. The options are as far as possible the same as the graphic parameters for the graphic and tabular timetables (Setting graphic parameters for the graphical timetable).

1.  From the Line block editor menu, choose Edit graphic parameters.

The Edit graphic parameters window opens.

2.  In the navigator, select the respective entry under Line block view.

The selected page opens.

Tip: Alternatively, in the Block view, right-click a line block item. Then from the shortcut menu, choose Edit graphic parameters. The window then opens with the line block item's page.

3.  Make the desired changes.

Note: Click the Preview button to immediately show your changes without closing the Edit graphic parameters window.
