74.2.4 Presenting Events

To present an event, you create an event theme.

Note: If you create a new event theme for a user-defined event after loading a logfile, you must reload the logfile to make this event theme visible.

In the Theme Settings dialog, select the layer named Event Layer.

Click Add Theme:

Event

Choose an event type.

Mobile

Choose the device from which to pick this type of event.

Offset (pixels)

Set the offset. It has the same meaning as for information elements; see section "Presenting Information Elements".

For events it is appropriate to use a non-zero offset (for instance 20 pixels) so that event theme symbols are not hidden by the IE theme markers plotted on the route.

Bitmap

Select this to use a bitmap image as event symbol. Select your image, and set its size.

Transparent

If this is checked, all white pixels in the bitmap become transparent, i.e. the underlying layer shines through. Note that this requires a bitmap with a white background; otherwise no transparency is achieved.

If this is not checked, the bitmap is drawn exactly as-is.

Font

Select this to pick an event symbol from a font. Select the font, then pick a symbol and set its size and color.
