The I-Data Legend, T-Data Legend, and P-Data Legend items that are displayed in many I-Data, T-Data, P-Data, and Solid menu windows is used to include with the isosurface, voxel, or fence diagram 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.
Menu Options
- 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.
- Font: Click to choose the font name, size and color for the legend text.
- Intervals: Expand this to select how the interval labels are to be determined:
- Choose Automatic for the program to automatically select the G value intervals to be represented with labels.
- Choose Manual to specify your own G value label intervals; expand this heading to enter the interval.
- 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.
- Position: Allows placement of the left or right side of the 3D diagram.
- Offset: Offers a vertical and horizontal offset for the legend.
- Click on the Horizontal item to adjust 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.
- Click on the Vertical item to adjust 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.
- Size Scaler: The default setting is "1". If you decrease this value, the legend will appear smaller, and if you increase this value, the legend will appear larger. Note that this may affect the appearance of the font characters.
- Plot Perimeter: Check this box to include a thin line border around the legend.
