Symbology Settings

Similar to Display Settings, the settings in the symbology settings window gives a controller some new tools: EuroScope allows to have different colors, line width or fonts for every individual item on the radar screen.

Click on Symbology Settings …

The following dialog will appear:

Symbology

In the left bottom area, you can find the Section/graphical components tree. Select the component to change the symbology of all items. You can change the actual values using the left top controls.

The settings are quite straight forward, colors can be chosen from a palette, font size can be adjusted as required, .5 (values are also accepted), set line weight to a value of 0-10, select line style from values of solid, dash, dot, dash-dot, dash-dot-dot, and select Text alignment for the elements.

TAG background

In the to right area there are several on/off switches:

  • Transparent AC list background – if selected, the background of the aircraft lists is transparent.
  • Transparent AC list selected item background – if selected, the currently selected aircraft won’t be highlighted in the lists.
  • Transparent detailed TAG background – if selected, the background of detailed tags will be transparent.
  • Transparent detailed TAG selected item background – if selected, the specific item within the detailed tags won’t be highlighted.
  • Transparent TAG background – if selected none of the TAGs will have solid background.
  • Use Arrival/Departure TAG background colors – if set then the background colors of departure and arrival airport planes will use different colors.

Symbols

Every symbol can be customized in the right window using graphic commands. All coordinates are in pixels. They are very simple:

  • MOVETO <x> <y> – to move the cursor to the specified location
  • LINETO <x> <y> – draw a straight line from the previous position
  • POLYGON <x1> <y1> <x2> <y2> … <xn> <yn> – to draw a freeform polygon (the number of coordinates are limited to about 20)
  • ARC <x> <y> <radius> <start angle> <end angle> – to draw part of a circle (angle values are in degrees)
  • FILLARC <x> <y> <radius> <start angle> <end angle> – to draw a filled part of a circle
  • SETPIXEL <x> <y> – to display an individual pixel

Pressing the Default or Filled default button the symbol changes the actual symbol description with the default one.

The Clipping area around radar targets textbox allows to define a squared area (in pixels) around every aircraft where no information can be displayed and thus prevents the anchor line from running to the middle of the symbol. Its maximum value is 50.
