STAR*NET V6 - Circe

Chapter 3 Using STAR*NET
3.12 Displaying the Network Graphically
You may view a diagram of your adjusted network, including station and relative error
ellipses. Choose Output>Plot, or press the Network Plot tool button.
Several tool buttons on the plot window allow you to zoom in and out, pan, center the
plot at a mouse click, find a point by giving its name, and inverse between given points.
You can also zoom by dragging a box round an area with your mouse. Right-click your
mouse on the plotting window to bring up a “Quick-Change” dialog where you can
quickly turn off or on plot items such as point names, markers or ellipses.
Click on the plot window Options tool button to bring up a tabbed options dialog. Here
you can set many options including what items to show on the plot and the sizes of
names, markers and ellipses.
3.13 Printing Output Files and Plots
Any of the output files can be previewed and printed from within the program. For
example, the listing file is the main output document for your adjustment, and you will
usually want to print it when the project is adjusted to your satisfaction. To print any
output file, its window must be active.
Prior to actually printing output, choose File>Text Page Setup to select the output
printer and to set options such as margin sizes and page numbering. These settings are
saved as defaults and will be used for future STAR*NET printing until changed.
To preview how the printed output will look, choose File>Print Preview or press the
Print Preview tool button. To print the output, choose File>Print or press the Print tool
button. You can highlight any section of an output text file and print just that part.
When a Plot Window is active, you can also preview and print the plot diagram. Prior to
actually printing the plot, choose File>Plot Page Setup to select the output printer and
orientation. You can choose different printers for the text output (listings, etc.) and the
plot diagram output.
In your plot window, only display the items you want to see on your printed plot. For
example, if you do not want to see point names or ellipses, turn them off. Resize the
window to approximate the shape of your printed sheet. Zoom in or out to fill the image
space to the way you want the image to appear on your printed sheet.
Preview how the plot will look on a printed sheet by choosing File>Print Preview, or by
pressing the Print Preview tool button. Then actually print your network plot by choosing
File>Print, or by pressing the Print tool button.
See Chapter 7, “Viewing and Printing Output” for complete details on viewing output
listing files and network plots, and printing them.
