Chain 2D Graphics

On the Attributes page you can set the following 2D Graphics properties for a chain:

Category	Option	Description
Global Attributes	Show	Hide/Show all Chain graphics in both the 2D Graphics and 3D Graphics window.
	Show in 2D Windows	Hide/Show all Chain graphics in the 2D Graphics window.
Static Graphics	Show	If enabled, all objects involved in any valid strand of the Chain displays graphics indicating they are part of a valid strand. Displays complete chain intervals for objects in the chain based on applicable time and object constraints. Accesses among chain objects are displayed as thick lines that overlay the ground tracks.
	Line Width	Select the width of the line that overlays the ground track in the 2D Graphics window.
	Color	Select the color in which chain graphics are to be displayed.

Category	Option	Option	Description
Animation Graphics	Strand Graphics	Show Highlight	If enabled, access is displayed in bold print during animation. A box appears
		Show Line	If this check box is selected, a line appears on the 2D Graphics window between the objects in the chain to show when they are accessible to each other during animation.
		Width	Specify width of the optimal strand lines
		Color	Specify color of the optimal strand lines
		Hide for large # of strands	Disables the animation graphics past a certain threshold.
		Max Strands	Defines the number of valid computed strands as the bound for when animation lines are not displayed if the previous option is enabled.

If a connection between two objects is part of more than one chain, the line between that object pair is segmented into multiple lines using the colors from each chain to color the segments. To identify the chain that is used in access calculations, select the line in the 2D or 3D Graphics window.

For 2D Graphics windows, single left-click a line to display the name of the chain in the status bar of the 2D Graphics window.

For 3D Graphics windows, double left-click a line to display the Chain name and the names of the objects for the connection of the strand selected.
