**''Display as 2D image'' &ndash; makes it so the raster is only visible in plan view (like other images). This option is fast and memory efficient and can support large rasters (or several rasters).

**''Display as 3D image'' &ndash; makes it so the raster is visible in any view, not just plan view. 3D points are also very memory efficient but may be a little slower than the 2D image option. Also, hill shading is not available in this mode.
***''Point size'' &ndash; specifies the size of points displayed.
***''Maximum points'' &ndash; sets a limit to the number of points to generate. Specifying a maximum number of points can be useful if the size of the raster is such that rendering becomes slow.
**''Shader'' &ndash; with either 2D or 3D, four different shaders, which control the color ramp, are available. The shaders available are:
***Atlas Shader
***Color Ramp Shader
***Global Shader
***HSV Shader

Display Options dialog showing GIS options

The properties of the GIS Module data SMS displays on the screen can be controlled through the Display Options dialog. The options are used with shapefiles that have been imported into the project. The available GIS Module Display Options include the following:

  • Points – Opens the Point Attributes dialog where the diameter and color of points can be selected.
  • Lines – Opens the Line Attributes dialog where the width and color of lines can be selected. Also allows selecting if lines will be solid or dashed.
  • Polygons Opens the Line Attributes dialog where the width and color of polygon lines can be selected. Also allows selecting if lines will be solid or dashed.
  • Select color Open the Color dialog where the color of selected options can be determined.
