The Color Legend tab is used to include with the isosurface, voxel, fence diagram, or other 3D scene a legend that lists the G values in the solid model, and the colors used to represent them.
! Note also that many of the 3D legend settings can be modified within the RockPlot3D window.
- Position: Defines placement of the legend on the left or right side of the 3D diagram.
- Size: Adjusts the size of the legend. The default setting of "1" should be used unless you are certain that you want the legend scaled larger (enter a value > 1) or smaller (enter a value < 1). Because you can adjust the size of the legend within the RockPlot3D window, we generally recommend that you leave the size at "1" and then adjust the size if necessary once the diagram is created and displayed in the RockPlot3D window.
- Border: Check this box to include a thin line border around the legend.
- Offset: Offers a vertical and horizontal offset for the legend.
- Horizontal: Enter the horizontal offset for the legend. An entry of "0" will position the legend close to the diagram. A setting of "0.1" will bump the legend slightly outward. A setting of "-0.1" will move the legend slightly inward. You shouldn't set the offset to more than "0.4" or it will be placed off the screen.
- Vertical: Enter the vertical offset for the legend. An entry of "0" will position the legend close to the midline of the diagram. A setting of "0.1" will bump the legend slightly upward. A setting of "-0.1" will bump the legend slightly downward. You shouldn't set the offset to outside the "-1" to "1" range, or the legend will be placed off the screen.
- ! Because you can adjust the positioning of the legend within the RockPlot3D window, we generally recommend that you leave the offsets at "0" and then adjust the offset if necessary once the diagram is created and displayed in the RockPlot3D window.
- Font: Click to choose the font name, size and color for the legend text.
- Intervals:
- Choose Automatic for the program to automatically select the G value intervals to be represented with labels. (recommended)
- Choose Manual to specify your own G value label intervals. Enter the interval into the box.
- Decimals: Expand this to select how the decimal places for the interval labels are to be determined:
- Choose Automatic for the program to automatically determine the numbert of decimal places in the labels.
- Choose Manual to specify your own G value label decimals; expand this heading to enter the number of decimal places.
