Chapter 11: General Graphics Specifications found at Utility Menu> Plot Ctrls> Style> Multi Legend Options. The Text Legend dialog box shown in Figure 11.3 (p. 232) provides control of the content and placement of the various text items available for the Multi Legend option. This dialog box corresponds to the controls and priorities listed in the /UDOC command. Figure 11.3 The Multi Legend Text Legend 11.4.1.2. Controlling the Placement of Your Contour Legend The Multi Legend setting allows you to place your contour scales along the four sides of the graphics window. You access this control via Utility Menu> Plot Ctrls> Style> MultiLegend Options> Contour Legend. The Contour Legend Dialog box is shown in Figure 11.4 (p. 232). This dialog box corresponds to the controls and priorities listed in the /UDOC command. Figure 11.4 The Multi Legend Contour Legend Note The settings in the Window Options dialog box will in many cases take precedence over your Multi Legend Options settings. See the command documentation for /UDOC and /PLOPTS for a complete discussion of these dependencies. 11.4.2. Controlling Entity Fonts You can change the appearance of the fonts that are used to produce the numbers and characters that are shown on your displays. Through the ANSYS GUI, choose the DISPLAY Program or Utility Menu> PlotCtrls> Font Controls, or issue either the /DEVICE,FONT,KEY or /DEVDISP,FONT,KEY command. Each of these commands requires Val1 through Val6 as arguments. These arguments allow you to indicate the family name of the font that you wish to use (e.g., Courier), the weight of the font (e.g., medium), font size, and other attributes which define font selection. (See the Command Reference for more information about the requirements of the /DEVICE,FONT,KEY and /DEVDISP,FONT,KEY commands.) 232 Release 13.0 - © SAS IP, Inc.

11.4.3. Controlling the Location of the Global XYZ Triad The /TRIAD command (Utility Menu> PlotCtrls> Window Controls> Window Options) enables you to change the location of the global triad symbol on your display. (The actual mathematical position of the global origin will not change.) 11.4.4. Turning Triad Symbols On and Off Use the /TRIAD command to turn the global triad on and off. Use the /PSYMB command (Utility Menu> PlotCtrls> Symbols) to control the local, nodal, and element coordinate system triads. Use one of the following to control the working plane triad: Command(s): WPSTYL GUI: Utility Menu> List> Status> Working Plane Utility Menu> WorkPlane> Display Working Plane Utility Menu> WorkPlane> Display Working Plane> Offset WP by Increments Utility Menu> WorkPlane> Display Working Plane> Show WP Status Utility Menu> WorkPlane> Display Working Plane> WP settings 11.4.5. Changing the Style of the Working Plane Grid You can display the working plane grid as a triad only, grid only, or both triad and grid. Use WPSTYL to change from one style to another. There are two methods of turning the working plane on for displays: • Issuing WPSTYL with no arguments toggles the working plane grid, asterisk, and triad on and off immediately, as an "overlay" image on the existing display. • /PLOPTS,WP,ON specifies that the working plane be turned on for subsequent displays. In this case, the working plane is drawn as part of the display (not just an overlaid image as in WPSTYL). For this reason, this method is best used in combination with a hidden-line technique for viewing the location of the working plane with respect to a 3-D model. WPSTYL and its GUI equivalents control whether the working plane is displayed as a triad only, grid only, or both. 11.4.6. Turning the ANSYS Logo On and Off By issuing /PLOPTS,VERS,1, you cause the ANSYS logo to appear in the upper right corner of the screen (along with the version number). 11.5. Miscellaneous Graphics Specifications ANSYS includes a number of miscellaneous graphics commands that let you manipulate your graphics environment. 11.5.1. Reviewing Graphics Control Specifications Issuing the /PSTATUS command (Utility Menu> List> Status> Graphics> General) lists the current graphics control specifications. To see the graphics specifications for one window only, specify the window number instead of General. 11.5.2. Restoring Defaults for Graphics Slash Commands 11.5.2. Restoring Defaults for Graphics Slash Commands Use the /RESET command (Utility Menu> PlotCtrls> Reset Plot Ctrls) to restore the default settings of /WINDOW, /TYPE, /VIEW, and other graphics "slash" commands.
