Welcome to the User Interface video series.
This video demonstrates the printing features available in GeoStudio, including page formatting
options in Page Layout view, the use of engineering templates,
and printing multiple analyses at once.
In a GeoStudio analysis, the Page Layout docked window appears when Page Layout is selected in the Mode toolbar.
This window allows you to define the size of the printing page by entering custom dimensions into the available fields
or by selecting one of the standard paper sizes provided in the page drop down menu.
The page orientation may also be modified from landscape to portrait.
The viewpoint section of the Page Layout window can be used to specify where the model is displayed on the page,
much like establishing the margins of a document in word processing software.
In order to see the viewpoint extent, I will select the Border option.
I can modify this area by changing the x and y coordinates of the viewport origin relative to the bottom left corner of the page,
and by changing the width and the height fields.
I can also change the viewport extents by going to Modify Objects,
selecting the viewport,
and dragging its border to the desired location.
In the Model in Viewport portion of the Page Layout window,
I can specify how I would like the model to appear in the viewport.
Clicking on the Fit to Viewport button will automatically center the modeled domain within the viewport, at a reasonable scale.
The model x and y values at the viewport origin can also be specified, shifting the position of the model.
Finally, a custom scale can be entered to change the size of the model within the viewport window.
Once the scale of the model is established, you may notice that the font size of the axes appears to be too small or too large.
The relative size of this text can be modified by leaving the Page Layout view, going to Set Units and Scale,
and changing the reference scale.
Here is a template that was created in Page Layout using the sketch lines and text features.
To save this template for future use, I will go to File > Save As Template.
I can now easily import the template into other GeoStudio project files by clicking on the Import Layout button and selecting the file.
There are also basic templates that are standard to GeoStudio.
When I click on the Import Layout button, I can find these templates in the GeoStudio program files.
Once you are ready to print your analyses, go to File > Print
or click on the Print button at the bottom of the Page Layout window.
The Print window includes standard features, allowing you to specify how many copies you would like to print,
the paper size,
and the zoom features or size handling.
The page size specified in the Page Layout window will be selected automatically
under Paper Size in the Print window, and the analysis will appear as its Actual Size as specified in Page Layout.
The preview window shows how the analysis will appear on the printed page.
If you wish to print the analysis larger than the specified paper size,
the printed images will be tiled over multiple pages.
You can view all of the pages in the preview window.
Finally, the Select Analyses to Print button allows you to choose multiple analyses to print at once.
All of the selected analyses can be viewed in the preview window.
In conclusion, the Page Layout window allows for the specification of page orientation and custom or standard page sizes.
The viewport, or the area in which the model appears on the page, can be modified, and the
model's position and scale within the viewport can be specified.
Printing templates can be created using the sketch objects and text features, or standard
templates can be imported from the GeoStudio program files.
In the Print window, you can select multiple analyses to print and preview the printed pages.
