Adjusting the basic settings for the display of turn volumes
You can specify how you want to display turn volumes. The settings apply to both, turns and main turns. To display turn volumes, you need to show them (Displaying turn volumes).

The Edit graphic parameters window opens.
Tip: Alternatively, you can open the window by clicking the Open graphic parameters button in the Turn volumes window. |
2. In the navigator, select the Turns > Turn volumes entry.
3. Select the Layer control tab.

Use cross-section values |
If the option has been selected, the values are determined based on the two directions of the object. If the option has not been selected, the values are determined separately for each direction. Note If an undirected value to be displayed is averaged, it is automatically divided by two, so that half of the undirected value counts as the upper limit for the scaling. If, for example, the scaling range is 1-1000 and the bar width is 10 mm, an undirected value of 2000 is displayed with a volume of 1000 on each side and a bar width of 10 mm. |
Distance between bars |
Distance between the bars in mm |
Line style properties |
If you have selected the Draw edges option on the Layer control tab, a line is displayed at the center of each turn. You can specify the line style in a separate window. To do so, click in the field (Setting the line style properties). |

The grayed out options are not available for turn volumes. Avoid overlap when drawing If the option is selected, labels are only displayed if they do not overlap. |
Text positioning: vertical |
Next to bar If the option has been selected, the label is displayed next to the bar. Within bar If the option has been selected, the label is displayed within the bar. Text distance Distance of labels in mm Note If the Next to bar option is selected, the distance to the bar is displayed. If the Within bar option is selected, the distance to the link is indicated. |
Standard for text blocks |
All turns If the option has been selected, all turns are labeled consistently. Only incoming turns If the option has been selected, by default, only incoming turns are labeled at turn volumes. Only outgoing turns If the option has been selected, by default, only outgoing turns are labeled at turn volumes. |
Notes: If you change the settings in the Standard for text blocks section, a message will appear. You can decide whether the new setting is to be applied to currently displayed turn volumes.
If you mark a node while the Turn volumes window is open, you can select the Reset text blocks to standard entry via the shortcut menu of a visible turn volume. The text blocks are then displayed according to the current settings in the graphic parameters. |

Font and color |
Font You can specify a Font and a Style in a separate window. To do so, click in the field. Text size Text size in mm Note If the text size is 0.0 mm, no bar label is issued. Label color = bar fill color If the option has been selected, the text is displayed in the same color as the bar. If the option has not been selected, you can select a color in the drop-down list. Note We recommend this option if several bars are displayed. Uniform label color If this option has been selected, select a unique color for the label in the drop-down list. |
Text entry |
Transparent If the option has been selected, the bar label is displayed without the white background, as text only. Draw frame If the option is selected, the label is drawn with a frame. From the selection list, you can select the color. Alignment You can specify the alignment and the display of several bar labels via the drop-down list:
The labels are displayed in a row.
The labels are displayed one below the other.
All labels are displayed one below the other and underneath, the sum of the values is displayed.
Only the values of the sum are displayed.
The label is displayed as two-row table grid: On top, the titles are stored, underneath the values accordingly. The last column contains the total sum.

Draw bars only on active turns |
If the option has been selected, bars are not drawn for passive turns. |
Draw bars also on blocked turns |
If the option has been selected, bars are also drawn for closed turns. |
Regard all turns |
If the option has been selected, bars are drawn on all turns that correspond to the above options. |
Draw bars only on selected turns |
If the option has been selected, you can hide bars of turns with specific attribute values. Use the button below the option to select the desired attribute. Click the Edit button to create the classification (Displaying classified objects based on attribute values). Via the check box in the Draw column you decide whether the turns of the particular class are to be drawn. Use layer order If the option has been selected, you can set up the order of drawing for the bars by class. The order is specified via the numbers in the Layer column. This column appears as soon as the option is checked. By default, the network objects of the various classes are drawn in the order as specified by the order of the classes in the list. |
12. Select the Circle display tab.

Arrow display |
Draw arrows If the option has been selected, an arrow head is displayed outside of the circle, which indicates the direction. Arrow display like first bar The arrow heads use the color of the innermost bar. Apply individual arrow display You can specify a color for the arrow head in a separate window. To do so, click in the field (Editing the properties of a closed polygon). |
Positioning of turn volumes at main nodes |
If the network contains main nodes, you can position the associated turn volumes as follows. At turn volume circle If the option is selected, turn volumes at main nodes are displayed only inside of turn volume circles. At the cordon nodes If the option is selected, turn volumes start directly at the cordon nodes of main nodes. They are thus independent of the radius around the point object of the main node. This way, volume bars, for example, may be drawn continuously in a network with main nodes. |
Circle display |
Draw circle If this option is checked, a circle is placed around each selected node. In the circles, the turns will be displayed. Simple fill If the option has been selected, all circles around the nodes are displayed with the color selected in the Color section. To edit the color and/or fill style, click in the field (Editing the properties of a closed polygon). Smooth color transition If the option has been selected, the circles around the nodes are displayed with a color gradient. Margin color Use the color field to specify the color at the margin of the circle. Center color Use the color field to specify the color at the center of the circle. Draw border If the option has been selected, the circles around the nodes are displayed with a border. You can specify the border style in a separate window. To do so, click in the field (Setting the line style properties). |
Standard radius |
Standard value for the radius of the circles around the nodes. The value is displayed in the Turn volumes window the next time you open it. |
Cut off the link bars at the circle |
If the option has been selected, link bars are not displayed within the turn volume circles. |
14. Confirm with OK.
For turn volumes, the basic configuration has been set up. Now you have to define the bars and their individual display properties under Turns > Turn volumes > Display (Defining one or multiple bars and Setting the display properties of a bar).
