GGU-ELASTIC: "Material legend" menu item

A legend with the material properties will be displayed on your output sheet if you have clicked the "Show legend" check box. Using this menu item you can alter the type of presentation or turn off the legend completely.

You can define and edit the position of the legend using the values "x" and "y". The size of the legend is controlled by the values for "Font size". The fastest way to modify the position of the legend is to press the [F11] function key and then to pull the legend to the new position while holding the left mouse button.

• "Coloured legend "
  The material colours are displayed in the legend. Otherwise, they will be numbered.

• "Automatic material colours"
  The materials/soils are assigned material colours automatically by the program. If the check box is not selected, the material colours individually defined using the "Material colours" button will be adopted.

• "Material colours"
  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 material/soil a new number or reorganise using the "Material colours/Reorganise" command button. You can save your colour preferences to a file with "Material colours/Save" and use them for different systems by means of the "Material 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.
