Border Width

Border Color Same as Fill Color

Background Color

The drop-down box allows selection of three options for the background color: Oneline Background, Specific Color, and Clear. Oneline Background will color the pie chart/gauge background the same color as the selected background color for the oneline. Specific Color will allow the selection of a user specified color. To specify a color, click the box to the right of the drop-down to open the Color dialog. The Clear option will not use a background color and objects underneath the pie/chart gauge will be visible through the unfilled portions of the pie chart/gauge.

Relative Font Size

Modify the track bar to adjust the size of the font relative to the size of the pie chart/gauge.

Max Zoom Percent for Full Resize

Pie chart/gauges dynamically resize when zooming in and out on oneline diagrams. A limit can be placed on the point at which the pie chart/gauges resize when zooming in by setting a zoom level in this field. This helps prevent the pie chart/gauges from getting so large that they occupy the entire screen.

Warning/Limit Scalars and Colors

The table in this section allows the definition of different settings for pie chart/gauge size and fill color based on the percent value represented by the pie chart/gauge. Points can be added or removed from this table by right-clicking in the table and using the Insert and Delete options from the popup menu.

To modify the Percent and size Scalar for a record in the table, click on the value in the cell and type in a new value. To change the color associated with the percent value, double click in the Color cell to open the Color dialog.

Use Discrete Map

When checked, discrete colors will be used for the pie chart/gauges based on the colors specified in the table. Otherwise, colors will be blended if the percentage represented in the pie chart/gauge falls between percentages defined in the table.
