Consider only active line routes for drawing |
If this option is selected, in the Network editor window, bars are displayed for active line routes only. |
Show only active lines/line routes in the list |
If this option is selected, only for lines will be displayed in the list. Note This option is only provided for the aggregation levels Lines and Line routes. |
Aggregation level |
Select the level on which the attribute values of the line routes are to be aggregated. According to the selected option, the network objects will be listed to the right.
|
Aggregate function |
In the selection list, select how the attribute values of the line routes are to be aggregated. Note This drop-down list is not available if the Line routes or Line route items option has been selected, as no aggregation takes place in this case. Sum Sum of attribute values Minimum Smallest attribute value Maximum Greatest attribute value Mean Average of the attribute values Weighted mean Mean of the attribute values weighted by an attribute. Select the attribute for the weighting via the <Attribute> button. |
Weighting attribute |
Attribute for the weighted mean Note The button is only available if you have selected the Weighted mean option. The button is labeled with the currently selected attribute. |
Show substitute bars |
Bars of individual network objects are not drawn if they are too narrow to be displayed on screen. If there are many such bars, the total width of the line bar or path bar is falsified. If the option is selected, the accumulated width of the bars not shown is represented by a substitute bar so that the total width of the bar is corrected. Note Substitute bars are not displayed if option Use minimum width is selected on page Scaling. |
Separate display per <Aggregation level> |
If this option has been checked, all bars are drawn with identical color and identical boundary. In the section on the right side, specify how you want the bars drawn (Uniform display of line bars). |
Classified display |
If the option has been selected, you can classify the colors and boundaries of bars by an attribute. With the button you select the attribute you need. In the section on the right side, specify how you want the bars drawn (Displaying classified objects based on attribute values). |
Uniform display of line bars
Line bars can be displayed in a uniform way per selected object, for example, per line or per transport system. The list contains all objects and their display properties. Alternatively, you can specify a classified display for line bars based on an attribute (Classified display of line bars).
1. Make sure that in the Edit bar <No.> window Fill style tab the Separate display per <Network object of selected aggregation level> option has been checked.
2. In the list on the right side, adjust the display settings accordingly for each object.
Notes: In the Display column, the bars first are displayed in the standard style set for line and path bars. It can be adapted on the Links > Bars page > Line and path bars tab. For the aggregation level Lines and Line routes , you can use the symbol to restrict the display to active objects. You can use the symbol to search for specific objects at the selected aggregation level (Finding network objects in the network). |
