GGU-CONSOLIDATE: "Soil properties legend" menu item

This menu item is only active if you have selected one of the numerical methods.

A legend containing the soil properties is displayed with the graphics. If the "Show legend" check box is activated you can edit the representation in the dialog box for 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". 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.

If "System coloured" is activated in the combi-box, the soils will be displayed coloured both in the soil properties legend and in the system presentation. You can also define either hatching or colour fill and hatching for the different soil types in the combi-box. If you select "System without all", the soils are merely numbered. The depths of the individual soil layers are shown in the legend if the "With depths" check box is activated.

In the "Soil colours + soil hatching" group box, you can make the desired adjustments according to your individual requirements:

• "Automatic"
  The program automatically assigns soil colours to the soils. If the check box is deactivated, the soil colours that you can set individually under the “Soil colours” button are used.

• "Soil colours"
  You will see a dialog box in which you can make your desired settings. Here you can assign a new colour to each soil layer after clicking on the button with the desired number or reassign the colours via "Soil colours/Reorganise" button. You can save your colour settings to a file under "Soil colours/Save" and reuse them for other systems using the "Soil colours/Load" button. In the lower area, you can transfer the colour settings to the Windows colour box as user-defined colours, for example, or vice versa. Click on the "Info" button for further explanations.

• "Hatching"
  You will see a dialog box in which you can define different hatchings for each soil.

• "Legend hatching factor"
  A narrower hatching can be achieved in the small boxes of the legend than in the system presentation. To do this, select an entry < 1.00.
