- Show origin of selected physical instances
When this check box is set, selected instances will have the cell
origin marked with a cross. This may seem trivial, but marking the
origin requires a bit of overhead since it requires running a
transformation and keeping track of an additional redisplay area since
the origin may be outside of the cell bounding box. Thus, the default
is to not show the mark.
This tracks the state of the MarkInstanceOrigin variable, and
applies to all drawing windows.
- Erase behind physical properties text
When this check box is set, in windows where physical properties are
being displayed, the area around the physical property text is erased,
providing improved visibility.
This tracks the state of the EraseBehindProps variable.
- Physical property text size (pixels)
This entry sets the height, in pixels, of the text used to render
physical properties on-screen, when physical property text is being
displayed.
This tracks the state of the PhysPropTextSize variable.
- Subcell visibility threshold (pixels)
This entry area specifies a pixel size threshold for display of
expanded subcells. Subcells with height or width less than this
threshold will not be displayed, or displayed as an unfilled bounding
box, according to the setting of the Subthreshold Boxes menu
button in the Main Window sub-menu of the Attributes Menu,
and the Attributes menu of sub-windows. The value can be in the
range 0-100. If 0, subcells will always be rendered when in expanded
state, which can greatly increase drawing time when zoomed out. This
setting applies to all drawing windows.
This entry tracks the setting of the CellThreshold variable.
- Push context display illumination percent
When the Push command is active, and the ``context'' (the
features surrounding the pushed-to subcell) is being displayed, the
intensity of colors used to render the context is reduced. This
visually differentiates objects in the current cell from those in the
context. The percentage intensity of the context can be set from this
input area. If set to 100, the context is rendered with the same
coloring as the current cell.
This entry tracks the setting of the ContextDarkPcnt variable.
- Maximum displayed property label length
This entry sets the maximum width, in default-sized character cells,
of a newly displayed property label. If the label exceeds this width,
it is not shown, and a small box at the text origin is shown instead.
The default is 256.
The ``hidden'' status of a property label can be toggled by clicking
the text or box with button 1 with the Shift key held.
See 4.9 for more information.
This entry tracks the setting of the MaxPrpLabelLen variable.
