Formatting Strings

Strings consists of a sequence of points (vertex) connected by lines (edge). String vertices and edges can be formatted independently.

You can:

• Change the size or width of vertices and edges.

• Color vertices and edges using different color legends.

• Vary the color or texture of vertices and edges using trace attribute fields.

• Define vertex and edge models.

• Hide either vertices, edges or both.

• Annotate strings with a string attribute field.

When a string is initially loaded digitized, formatting is applied according to the default 3D template for that data type. See 3D Display Templates.

There are a wide range of formatting options available for strings. See the related topics, below, for more information:
