The following options are available on the Format tab:
You can use the buttons in the Tick Line Style section of the dialog box to modify the line style and
colour of the Value, Percentile, or Scale tick lines. The Length of each set of tick lines may also be
set independently. These commands are not available for classified grids.
In the Frames section, you can enable one or both of the following options:
The Legend check box draws a box around the entire legend.
The Colour Ramp check box draws a frame around the entire colour ramp for numeric grids and
around each individual colour box for classified grids.
The Distance Units section controls the units of distance measurement applied to the non-earth
coordinate system of the legend Map window. You can choose either Centimetres or Inches as the
unit of measure. The dialog box updates appropriately for settings where distance measurements
are required such as tick length or colour box size.
The Scale Intervals section controls the placement of a set of tick marks inserted along the entire
length of the scale bar at regular intervals. If the Show Scale box is enabled, the Start At setting
determines where the scale markings will begin, measured from the start of the colour bar (bottom or
left), while the Step By setting controls the interval spacing of the scale markings. The unit of
measure is defined by the data value unit. These commands are not available for classified grids.
The Colour Ramp Box Size section controls the size of each colour box that makes up the colour
legend bar. By default, the numeric grid colour ramp is made up of 64 individually coloured box
elements that are set to resemble the current colour settings of the grid. By changing the values in
the Height or Width boxes, you can modify the size and proportion of the colour bar.
The Save button enables you to save a legend configuration. Legend profiles are saved with a .vml
extension.
The Load button enables you to load a legend configuration (.vml).
