Hi,

I'ld recommend the Notes panel for this. This gives you more flixibility in terms of font, location and description.

E.g. if you'ld like to add a note at a certain node/element which gives you 'ID: value', you could simply use as a description:

ID: {entity.id} Value: {entity.contour_val}

Hallo Herr Hettel,

ich hatte nicht gedacht, dass Sie die Frage beantworten würden. Sie waren mein Lehrer im Grundkurs im Dezember.

Ich bedanke mich für Ihre Hilfe.

Mit freundlichen Grüssen,

I‘ld like to know how to enlarge the font size of the measure value too. Because if there are serval windows ,setting the note for each window is a rough work, can I just find a easy way to set the measure value's font?(I have try to change the default setting of Hyperview in *.tcl file ,but it didn't work). ths!

You have the following options:

1) changing the default appearance of the Notes (before starting HV and creating notes)

To do this, edit in your HW-installation the file ..\hw\prefinc\preferences_post.mvw. You will find there:

(...)

//Notes Panel

NoteFont('Times New Roman',0,1,16) // Family, bold, italic, size

NoteForeGroundColor('White')

NoteBackGroundColor('SteelBlue4')

NoteAttachment('Window')

NoteDescription('Note 2')

NoteTransparency('On')

NoteAnchorToScreen('Off')

NoteTextAlignment('Left')

NoteBorderThickness('1') // or any +ve value.

(...)

Place an * before NoteFont (*NoteFont) to 'activate' the command and make the necessary changes in the arguments

2) changing the appearance of all notes after you already created the

To do this, make the window with the 'Correct' note appearance active, start use Tools->Apply Style ..., uncheck all checkboxes but the 'Notes' checkbox. Press Apply. (Make sure that you check the desired 'Apply to: setting)

Stefan

Thanks for your sincere answer.

I'm so sorry ,I couldn't make it out yet.

I can't find the strings that you refered before in the 'prefences_post.mvw'file.I have try to add all the strings you mentioned ,but It indeed make no sense.

I used HM9.0 and I don't know wheather if your HM is an upgrade version.

thanks and looking forward to get your answer again.

Best wishes,

selqi

ps:I want to enlarge the font size , eg. after I access the contour panel 'displacement' --'apply' then click measure panel,and check the 'static maxmin result' then where there appear 'static max value=XXXX',I just want to enlarge the font size of the string 'static max value=XXXX'.

and maybe I can't express myself clearly(English is my second language), I hope you can understand my meaning.

thank you!

I was referring to the recent HyperView version, which is 10.0. The contect of the preference files have changed compared to HV9.0. I do not know if that is also possible with version 9.

Altair Forum User

thank you again!
