The Polyfill Attributes window is used to define or to modify the location, size, layer, and appearance for polygons. This window is displayed when you edit an existing polygon or insert a new polygon into a map or diagram. Polygons can represent color-filled blocks on maps and cross sections, pattern-filled blocks on logs and profiles, etc.
Appearance & Location Options
- Filled: Check this box if the polygon is to be filled with a solid color.
- Color: Choose the color for the background fill for the polygon.
- Opacity: Use this setting to change the transparency of the polygon. 100 = fully opaque and 0 = fully transparent.
- Border: Insert a check in this box to have a border plotted around the polygon. You can click on the line box to choose the line style, thickness, and color.
- Pattern: Insert a check in this box to include a pattern design within the polygon.
- Select: Click this button to choose the pattern design, density, and colors from the current pattern library. The default background color will be set to the defined Background color, above.
- Stratigraphy: Click on this button to choose a fill pattern from the current project's Stratigraphy Types table.
- Lithology: Click on this button to choose a fill pattern from the current project's Lithology Types table.
- Aquifers: Click on this button to choose a fill pattern from the current project's Aquifer Types table.
- Layer: Use this setting to select the layer to which the polygon is to be associated. See Working with Layers for more information.
- Perimeter: This is a reference field only (non-editable) - it shows the length of the perimeter of the polygon in your map/diagram units.
- Area: This is also a reference field only (non-editable) - it shows the area of the polygon in square feet or meters per your map/diagram units.
- To move any of the vertices of the polygon itself, or to add or delete vertices, see Editing Vertices.
General Options
- Visible: Insert a check in this box for the polygon to be visible in the drawing or map. Remove the check-mark to hide the polygon.
