Setting display options

Display options control the appearance of the chart surface. You can control the size of the grid, background color, and link separation.

Setting the grid size

The grid size determines the spacing between grid points on the chart. You can specify the horizontal and vertical distance between grid points on your chart separately.

Enter the required value in each box. The units that are used are determined by your Windows environment.

You can enable snap to grid mode on this page.

Setting the link spacing value

The link spacing value determines the distance between multiple links on the same connection. This value is used when you:

Add a link to a connection that already has a link. The new link is separated from existing links by this distance.
Use the Compress Connection command. All links on the connection are rearranged so that they are separated by this value.
Import data with multiple links between entities into your chart.

Setting theme line wiring values

You can set the following values for theme line wiring:


Near	Sets the straight-line width of a theme line on either side of an event frame, where the theme line diverts through it.
Far	Sets the width of a diagonal segment of a theme line.
Separation	Sets the vertical distance between theme lines as they enter an event frame.
Height	Sets the distance between the top of the event frame and the top theme line when it enters the event frame. Select the Use for Theme Line Icons check box to position the theme line relative to the theme line icon. The greater the value, the lower the theme line is positioned.
