Axis section drawing settings is a UConfiguration that includes settings which affect the section drawing as a whole. These settings do not influence what is drawn but just how things are drawn. Tables 1 and 2 list the available settings.
General settings
Setting |
Description |
Scaling factor |
The factor that is used to map real-world axis reference system offsets to millimeters. See below for more details Default: 1.0 Validation: > 0.1 and ≤ 10 000 See below for examples for this setting. |
Title |
A text template used as used to define a title that will be shown on top of the drawing. The text template may includes specific variables to express properties of the used axis reference system and the underlying axis. |
Subtitle 1 |
A text template used as used to define the first subtitle that will be shown beneath the title. This string is a text template. The text template may includes specific variables to express properties of the used axis reference system and the underlying axis. |
Subtitle 2 |
A text template used as used to define second subtitle that will be shown beneath the title. This string is a text template. The text template may includes specific variables to express properties of the used axis reference system and the underlying axis. |
Footer |
A text template used to define a footer line that will be shown beneath the drawing. This string is a text template. The text template may includes specific variables to express properties of the used axis reference system and the underlying axis. |
Drawing header height |
Height of the drawing header in mm. |
Title font size |
Size of the font used for the title. Given in millimeters. Default: 10 Validation: > 0.1 and ≤ 100 |
Subtitle font size |
Size of the font used for subtitle 1 and subtitle 2. Given in millimeters. Default: 6 Validation: > 0.1 and ≤ 100 |
Header / footer font size |
Size of the font used for header and footer text. Given in millimeters. Default: 3 Validation: > 0.1 and ≤ 100 |
Header / footer color |
Defines the color for the text shown in the drawing header and footer. Default: Black |
Row header width |
Width of the row header in millimeter. You can hide the row header by setting this to zero. Default: 40 Validation: ≥ 0.0 |
Legend width |
Width of the row legend in millimeter. You can hide the row legend by setting this to zero. Default: 30 Validation: ≥ 0.0 |
Row title font size |
Defines the size in millimeters of the font used for showing row headers. Default: 2.5mm Validation: ≥ 0.1 |
Row subtitle font size |
Defines the size in millimeters of the font used for showing row sub- headers. Default: 2mm Validation: ≥ 0.1 |
Row border stroke color |
Defines the color used to draw of the row borders Default: Dark grey |
Row border stroke width |
The width in millimeters of the row row border strokes. Default: 0.5 Validation: > 0.1 and ≤ 1.0 |

Scaling factor examples
The scaling factor defines how 'real world' units i.e. the linear units used with the axis reference system are mapped to millimeters. The millimeters used to represent a distance given in the used axis reference system is calculated by multiplying the given distance with the scaling factor. Table 3 shows some examples.

Vertical grid settings
The vertical grid settings define the display of vertical grid lines and ticks. While the definition of this vertical grid is global it can be overridden on a per-row basis.
Setting |
Description |
Color |
Sets the default color of the graphical elements that are used for the vertical grid. This setting can be overridden in every row. Default: Light grey |
Major ticks distance |
Defines the default distance between two consecutive major ticks; given in the linear unit of the used axis reference system. This setting can be overridden in every row. Default: 10 Validation: > 0.0 |
Minor ticks between major ticks |
Defines how many minor ticks shall be shown between two major ticks. If set to zero no minor ticks will be shown. This setting can be overridden in every row. Default: 9 Validation: ≥ 0 |
Grid style |
Defines the style of the grid display. Following options are available •Style 1: Major ticks are lines from top of row to bottom, minor ticks are short lines starting at the row bottom •Style 2: Major ticks are lines from top of row to bottom, minor ticks are short lines starting at the row bottom and a mirrored short line starting from the row top |
Grid Z-Order |
Specifies if the grid lines are drawn in front of other drawing elements or in the back of other drawing elements. |

Description |
Status date |
When displaying the location of feature with spatial support on observations the location of the feature will be set according to the location stored with the observation nearest to the given date and time value. If null the latest observation's spatial data will be used. Default: null |
