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.
