Advanced style properties

The Advanced tab allows you to change the graphic style of the objects and to control:

• The default background color, gradients and transparency modes
• The position of the text in the object
• Hatching style
• The row size and type
• Management of gradient and transparency
• Line style and ends

Example of property

A text object is superimposed on the logo Loriotpro. The text was deliberately placed in the bottom right (the default position is centered in the middle) then a gradient was applied from left to right blue to white. Finally, the transparency has been modified to reveal the logo behind.

Styles can be mixed to create rich visual effects.

Text color and features

Text color and line colore are linked.

Example text object in order: Outlined Text, Text, Text Filled

In the Outlined text the color of the surrounded rectangle is the sme as the text.

Style lines and arrows

The Graphics object Horizontal line, Vertical line type h45 line and V45 line can be changed to the following:

• The size of the line
• The color of the line
• The line style
• The end of the line

The line style can be:

The two ends of a line can be modified to create arrows

Management position of text in a rectangle

The position and orientation of the text is possible in the interior of the rectangle.

Management transparency

Transparency of objects is controlled by the Transparency value.

A value of 0 indicates a total transparency

The value 255 indicates complete opacity

Intermediate values ​​allow a transparency effect.

Example rectangle overlaying the logo Loriotpro with values ​​increasing Tranparency.

Style surfaces

The style of the surfaces depends on the type of brush used. Brush types are:

Color: The surface is colored uniformly

Gradient: the color is degraded (between two colors)

Hatch: The surface is shaded

Gradient style

The colored area is gradually degraded between two colors to choose from.

The gradient effect can be Applied in a preferential direction.

If a gradient style is applied to a dynamic object the gradient is formed between the color dictated by the rules of the expression and the color gradient.

Example of a dynamic object that is in status Red, then green, the gradient color is yellow, the direction is Forward Diagonal.

Hatch style

Hatches can be applied to an object in Active View. If the object is dynamic then the background color will be more or less visible depending on the style of hatching.

Here is an example of hatching Weave style applied to a dynamic object with a green and red status:
