Barrier Display Results

The Barrier Display Results tool allows customization of the 3D barrier plot display options.

To access the tool, there must be at least one 3D barrier plot generated such that there is at least one Barrier Results entity node in the visibility tree (a Barrier Results node is created for every 3D barrier plot). Select a Barrier Results node in the Visibility tree and select More Options in the Display section under Properties:

A dialog opens with options to customize the Bars and the Colors.

Bars

The Value Labels dropdown allows the user to display labels of the Minimum and Maximum values (Min/Max), or to display no labels at all (None). If Min/Max is selected, then the minimum value would be labeled next to the bar on the 3D barrier plot that is the minimum of all bars, and the maximum value would be labeled next to the bar on the 3D barrier plot that is the maximum of all bars.

Note that the Min/Max values labeled do not represent the absolute minimum and maximum on the barrier. If the Value to Plot is a maximum value, then each bar in the 3D barrier plot shows the maximum value of each bin. The minimum value label thus shows the minimum of all maximum bin values, and the maximum value label shows the maximum of all maximum bin values.

The Orientation dropdown allows the user to change the orientation of the 3D bars being displayed. The orientation options are:

• Parallel to Barrier
• Normal to Barrier
• Horizontal; or
• Vertical.

Selecting the Flip Orientation checkbox helps to reverse the orientation of the bars.

The Length Scale Factor allows users to adjust the bar display lengths. The default scale factor is always 1, and bar lengths are scaled proportionally according to the scale factor. For example, a scale factor of 0.5 would halve the default bar lengths and a scale factor of 2 would double the default bar lengths.

The Bar Height allows users to adjust the thickness of the bars.

Colors

The Value Label Text allows users to customize the color of the font used for the Value Labels.

The Value Label Background allows users to customize the background color for the Value Labels.

The Positive Color controls the color of the bars containing values greater than zero.

The Negative Color controls the color of the bars containing values less than zero.

Apply to all barriers

Selecting Apply to all barriers allows the current barrier display settings to be applied to all 3D barrier plots. If the user entered this dialog with the intention of modifying the display settings of just the selected 3D barrier plot, then Apply to all barriers should be de-selected.
