GGU-SLAB: "Constrained mod. legend" menu item

When using the constrained modulus method, you can display a legend comprising the constrained modulus soil properties by activating the "Show legend" check box.

You can define and edit the position of the legend using the values "x" and "y". You control the size of the legend using "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 with the left mouse button pressed.

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

• "Legend coloured"
  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.

• "Show Poisson's ratio"
  Poisson's ratio can be switched off in the legend, for example if Poisson's ratio nu = 0.0 for all soils.

• "Explanation of vibrodisplacement compaction"
  The explanation of vibrodisplacement compaction can be displayed in legend by activating this check box.

• "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.

The soil colours specified using this menu item are - regardless of whether activated for the legend - always used for visualisation of the constrained moduli, assuming the "Coloured constrained mod." check box was activated in the preferences (see menu item "Constrained mod./Preferences").
