10.6.3 Contours Tab

The Settings Contours tab is found in the Settings dialog accessed in the Options panel of the Tools tab on the Ribbonbar.

The Contours panel controls which Contour Lines are displayed and what Color is used for each line.

To activate a Contour Line, check the box next to the desired value. Once activated, a Color can be assigned. Values can be entered in any order. Any numerical value can be entered in the text boxes.

See Using the Color Dialog for more information on Color selection.

Making selections here does not turn on Contours . See Setting and Displaying Iso-Illuminance Contours for more information.
