Displaying Single Object Coverage Contours in the Graphics Windows.

From the Coverage tool, you can specify how levels of figure of merit values will be displayed in the graphics windows by clicking Contours.... Contour levels represent the gradations in coverage quality.

To accurately display contour levels for figures of merit in graphics windows, you should know the approximate range of values for the current figure of merit. You can use the Report & Graph Manager for the figure of merit to determine this range.

To define contour graphics, set the following options:

Option	Description
Show Marker Animation Highlight	If selected, graphics providing a highlight around the normal object marker are displayed in the graphics window and updated during animation.
Ignore FOM values exceeding max contour level	If selected, contours are not displayed above the maximum contour level.
Show FOM Graphics on Vehicle Track	If selected and Satisfaction is selected or contours are defined, graphics providing a persistent display of time-dependent information about the Figure Of Merit are displayed. This option is only available if coverage is being calculated from a vehicle object.
Level Adding	Define the number and type of contour levels to be displayed. Select an Add Method and enter the information appropriate to that method: Start, Stop, Step. Enter a Start contour value, a Stop value, and a Step value. Use the Add Level button to generate contour values beginning with the Start value and incrementing by the Step specified until the Stop value is reached or exceeded. Explicit. Enter individual contour values. Use the Add Level button to add the new contour value to the list of existing contour values.
Level Attributes	Contour graphics during animation always reflect the value of the figure of merit at the current animation time. You can set one Marker, Line Style, and Line Width for all levels; Defined a color for each level specifically - by clicking the color field associated with each level in the list - or select Use Color Ramp to define a color range within which coverage precision will be displayed in relative shades.
Legend...	Click Legend... to display the legend or key, for the display of coverage contours. In the window that appears, you can define where and how the legend will be displayed by clicking Layout... to open the Contours Legend Layout window.
