GGU-CANTILEVER: "Soil properties legend" menu item

A legend with the soil properties of the individual layers will be displayed on your output sheet. If you have activated the "Show legend" check box, you can alter the type of visualisation using the dialog box of this menu item.

You can define and edit the position of the legend using the values "x" and "y". You can control the size of the legend via the "Font size" and "Max. no. of lines"; if necessary, the legend is displayed in several columns. You can also define a background colour in some legends.

The fastest way to modify the position or size of the legend is to press the [F11] function key and then to either pull the legend to the new position or to move the sides of the legend to their new size with the left mouse button pressed.

• "Background colour"
  Using this button you can define the background colour for the legend.

• "With depths"
  The depths of the individual soil layers will be shown in the soil properties legend.

• "Soil designations in main graphics"
  The designations entered for the individual ground layers are displayed in the system graphics adjacent to the layer depths.

• "Legend coloured"
  The soil colours are displayed in the legend. Otherwise, they will be numbered.

• "With permeabilities"
  The k-values of the individual soil layers will be shown in the soil properties legend.

• "With constrained modulus"
  The constrained modulus of the individual soil layers will be shown in the soil properties legend.

• "Soil colours"/"Soil colours (passive side)"
  You will see a dialog box, in which you can define your preferences. After clicking the button with the desired number, you can assign each soil layer a new number or reorganise using the "Soil colours/Reorganise" command button. You can save your colour preferences to a file with "Soil colours/Save" and use them for different systems by means of the "Soil colours/Load" command button. In the lower group box, you can also transfer the colour preferences to the Windows colour management dialog box, or vice versa, as user-defined colour preferences for example. You can read a further description by pressing the "Info" button.
