GGU-RETAIN: "General legend" menu item

A legend with general properties will be displayed on your output sheet if you have activated the "Show legend" check box. Using this menu item you can alter the type of visualisation.

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.

In the General legend you can, if wished, display information on the program (name and version), on the adopted standard and design situation (load case) as well as on the current file (name, path, time info). Additionally the display of further information as e.g. "Show sum V analysis" can be activated depending on the selected retaining wall. Any project identification entered in the "File/New" or "Editor 1/Analysis options" dialog box will be shown automatically in the general legend.
