Chapter 3

This enables you to magnify or reduce the map details that are

to be displayed during the path animation. A map detail can be

dened at each key point. The map will then be zoomed in or

zoomed out during the animation from the active point to the

next point. Zoom factor changes should be carefully consi-

dered to avoid creating scenes that appear too busy.

If you set the map movement (Map menu item) to manual in

the Global settings menu, it becomes also possible to dene

camera detail at the waypoints. If map movement is set to

manual, it becomes also possible to change the position of

the map camera.

This inuences the look of the map after the calculation. If you

want to zoom the map in or out, you must indicate this in the

Editor detail menu.

3.4 Text menu

This menu is only accessible for key points.

A 4-line text can be entered at each key point, independently

of the other key points. Click on the Text button to open the

familiar keyboard and enter the desired text. Should you so

choose, you also have the option to enter the text using an

external keyboard.

The text can be adjusted further. Use the Text attributes menu

to set Text alignment, and also the Position relative to the

point and the distance (distance from key point to text) as a

percentage. Text formatting (font, color...) can be set in the

Global settings menu (Chapter 3.6) under Text attributes.

These global settings can be used to set the color, the frame

size and the font type for 5 different fonts. This setting can be

accessed in this menu by selecting Font selection.

Use the Text transition menu to indicate whether you want

the text at the key point to fade in (fade in) or to fade in and

out (fade in/out) or not to fade at all (Off). You can also set a

transition duration.

3.5 Editor detail menu

This menu can be used when you want to magnify details of

a map, to better position a point or to move on a map (that is

bigger than the eld of view).

Use Zoom to dene the map detail. Use the Horizontal slider

to move horizontally on the map and use the Vertical slider to

move vertically on the map. If the Zoom setting of the map is

such that it is not possible to move horizontally or vertically,

it will still be possible to move the slider, but it will return to 0

every time.

3.6 Global settings menu

This is where various global settings can be found, i.e. settings

that will be applied to the entire project and not only to speci-

c points. These settings can be accessed by clicking on the

Global settings selection button.

3.6.1 Line type path

Here, under Draw path, you can rst of all congure whether

you want a growing line to be drawn. If you do, you can then

select the Line type (solid or various dashed lines), the Line

width and Line color. If you have congured the setting so

that a line path is not traced out, you will see a thin grayish-

white line appear instead to indicate where the path is. This will

of course be left out when the calculations are carried out later

on. Even if the time control in the top right of this menu (see

Chapter 3.9) is not set to maximum, the dashed display will still

be chosen for the scene‘s remaining time.

3.6.2 Line type route

When you activate the Draw course option, the route stretch

will be pre-drawn from the start, and the line will subsequently

be lled with color. You can dene the color using the Line

color button. The line type, whether it dotted or continuous,

and its thickness, are all congured through settings in the Line

progression menu.

3.6.3 Text attributes

You can use any font installed on your system when working

with Columbus 3 (except for DEMO fonts). This menu allows 5

fonts to be dened. You can then choose amongst them in the

local text settings.

To set these denitions, you should use this menu to select

fonts 1-5 in turn and congure their individual settings of font

type, size, color and frame attributes.

Under the Select font style/size setting, you can congure the

font type and size. You can use Font color to set the color in

which the font will be displayed. Outline can be used to draw

a border around the letters (the outline strength can be adju-
