Contour Format

Several Auto-Format options are available:

• DOS-style – uses exactly the same 7 colours and number of intervals as the original Rocscience DOS-based programs (e.g. Phase2 v. 3.0)
• 16-colour display – uses 14 colours and intervals (black and white are not used, which is why only 14 instead of 16 are actually used)
• Hot to Cold – uses a blue to red range of contouring, simulating a "hot to cold" effect.
• Hot Spots – uses a white to red range of contouring, simulating a "hot spot" effect.
• Photo-E – uses alternating white and black intervals, simulating a "photoelastic" effect.
• Black to white – uses black to white contouring, and 7 intervals.
• Black lines – uses black lines, mode is automatically changed to Lines

You may find the "Black to white" and "Black lines" options useful for black and white screen captures.

Define Auto-Format

The Define Auto-Format option gives the user maximum flexibility to define their own customized Auto-Format contour option. To use this option:

1. Select the Define Auto-Format button in the Contour Options dialog
2. Use the options in the Define Auto-Format dialog, to create a new Auto-Format style.
3. When you are finished, select the Save button, and save the new Auto-Format (it will be saved in a file with an *.RAF filename extension).
4. Your newly defined Auto-Format will then appear in the Auto-Format list in the Contour Options dialog, and can be used like any of the default Auto-Format options.
