GGU-PLGW: "Soil properties legend" menu item

A legend with the soil 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 soil colours are displayed in the legend. Otherwise, they will be numbered.

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

• "Permeability units"
  It often makes more sense in a transient analysis to enter the permeability in "m/hour" or "m/day". To avoid unnecessary explanations when submitting your analyses, the k-value is shown in the soil properties legend in "m/second". To achieve this, the program internally converts the entered coefficient of permeability from your selected unit back to m/s (see "Info" button).

• "Dimension [m/s] instead of [L/T]"
  The program uses [m/s] as the default unit. As explained above, you can also convert to [m/h] and [m/d]. If different units are required (e.g. yards and minutes), the general format length [L] and time [T] can be adopted. Just deactivate this check box.

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

• "Soil 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 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.
