Most of the data types (modules) in WMS have a set of display options that can be modified using the Display Options command in the Display menu. The Display Options command brings up the Display Options dialog shown below. The default tab in the dialog depends on which module is active. However, you can change the display options of any module by changing to the appropriate tab. Some modules really use multiple tabs such as the Terrain Data Module which in addition to the TIN tab has the DEM tab and the TIN-Drainage tab. Also the Drainage Data tab controls the display of text with computed geometric parameters for watersheds done with either TINs or DEMs. The General tab has a few things that do not fit as part of any module such as the background color, the color used to contrast selections (XOR), as well as a few others.
The check box next to the feature named can be toggled on or off to control whether or not the feature is to be displayed. The combo box will either display a symbol, line, text, or polygon in the currently selected color depending on the type of feature. Colors can be changed quickly by selecting the drop-down button, and other styles, fonts, sizes of attributes can be changed by selecting the button displaying the current setting (see descriptions below).
Additionally, entire data objects can be turned off by un-checking the toggle box next to the data object from the Project Explorer.
Changing Color
If you select the drop-down arrow a simplified color chooser appears that allows you to change the color only of the attribute.
Changing Symbols
If you wish to change the symbol style or size select the symbol button.
Changing Line Styles
If you wish to change a line thickness or style select the line symbol button.
Changing Polygon Colors
The more advanced color chooser is used to specify a polygon color, this is the same dialog that comes up when selecting More Colors... from the basic drop-down color chooser, or when selecting a color from within the Line or Symbol Attributes dialogs.
Changing Text Fonts and Styles
If you wish to change a font or font style select the text symbol button.
