Colour and pattern settings (3D)

For most graphics, the colour and pattern can be freely selected. To do this, double-click on the text next to the coloured symbol for the graph in the tree view.

In addition to the colour, a fill pattern can be selected. This pattern allows the graphics to appear either fully filled or partially filled, giving them a transparent effect.

An additional grid facilitates three-dimensional perception. It can be deactivated, and its colour can also be freely selected.

In the settings for the graphic, you can specify whether this grid should be optimised for high-speed output (default). These settings work for all fill patterns except diamonds (semi-transparent). For technical reasons, the optimised display cannot be used with this pattern; the slow variant is always used here.

In addition, the graphic as a whole can be drawn translucent by moving the transparency slider to the left. The default value for transparency when creating the graphic can be set in the settings.

The example shows the approximate appearance that can be expected later in the graphic display.

Note: Some graphics also allow you to change colours and appearance within a list of default values.
