9 - 2.4   Contour Lines

The contour line settings determine how contour lines are drawn for all zones in the active frame's dataset. The settings are established on the Lines page of the Contour & Multi-Coloring Details dialog.

Use the [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], and [8] buttons to specify attributes for a specific contour group. Each contour group has its own settings for the contour attributes established in the Contour Details dialog. Refer to Contour Groups for additional information.

Use Zone Line Pattern - For each zone, draw the contour lines using the line pattern and pattern length specified in the Contour page of the Zone Style dialog.

Skip to Solid - Draw n dashed lines between each pair of solid lines, where n is an integer you enter in the text field Number of Dashed Lines to Draw between Solid Lines.

Dashed Negative Lines - Draw lines of positive contour variable value as solid lines and lines of negative contour variable value as dashed lines.
