| Nodes || The Nodes item is used to display grid nodes depending on the [[GMS:2D Grid Module#Grid Types|Grid Type]] . If the grid is cell-centered, a dot is displayed at the cell centers. If the grid is mesh-centered, a dot is displayed on the cell corners. | | Nodes || The ''Nodes'' item is used to display grid nodes depending on the [[GMS:2D Grid Module#Grid Types|Grid Type]] .

| Contours|| Most of the objects supported by GMS can be contoured by turning on the [[GMS:Contour Options|Contour Options]] in the ''Display Options'' dialog. When an object is contoured, the values associated with the active dataset for the object are used to generate the contours. | | Contours|| Most of the objects supported by GMS can be contoured by turning on the [[GMS:Contour Options|Contour Options]] in the ''Display Options'' dialog.

| Vectors || If the [[GMS:Vectors|Vectors]] item in the ''Display Options'' dialog is selected for an object (TIN, Grid, or Mesh), vector plots can be generated using the active vector dataset for the object. One vector is placed at each node, cell, or vertex. | | Vectors || If the [[GMS:Vectors|''Vectors'']] item in the ''Display Options'' dialog is selected for an object (TIN, Grid, or Mesh), vector plots can be generated using the active vector dataset for the object.
