The Projman Application

Page/Layout Control Options

Horizontal Pages

When the Horizontal Pages check box is selected, the network diagram is scaled so that it spans the specified number of pages in the horizontal direction. The desired number of pages can be adjusted with the horizontal slider. Note that this option is used only when the report Resolution option is set for graphics-quality output. Due to intrinsic constraints on the output, the number of generated pages may not be exactly equal to the amount specified with this option.

Vertical Pages

When the Vertical Pages check box is selected, the network diagram is scaled so that it spans the specified number of pages in the vertical direction. The desired number of pages can be adjusted with the horizontal slider. Note that this option is used only when the report Resolution option is set for graphics-quality output. Due to intrinsic constraints on the output, the number of generated pages may not be exactly equal to the amount specified with this option.

Compress To One Page

When this check box is selected, the network diagram is compressed so that it is drawn on one physical page. Note that this option is ignored unless the report Resolution option is set for graphics-quality output.

Proportional Compress

When this check box is selected, the network diagram is compressed so that it is drawn on one physical page. This option is the same as the Compress To One Page option except that the compression of the diagram is done proportionally to maintain the correct aspect ratio. In other words, the amount of horizontal and vertical compression is equal. Note that this option is ignored unless the report Resolution option is set for graphics-quality output.

Spanning Tree Layout

When this check box is selected, the nodes in the network diagram are positioned using a spanning tree. This method typically results in a wider layout than the default. However, for networks that have totally disjoint pieces, this option separates the network into connected components (or disjoint trees). This option is ignored if a time axis is being drawn or if the Zone variable is specified.

Automatic Zone Layout

When selected, this check box allows automatic zoning (or dividing) of the network into connected components. This selection is equivalent to adding an automatic Zone variable that associates a tree number for each node. The tree number refers to a number assigned automatically to each distinct tree of a spanning tree of the network.

Suppress Zone Labels

When this check box is selected and a Zone variable is specified, the zone labels and dividing lines are omitted from the network diagram.

Space Between Zones

When this check box is selected and the Zone variable is specified, extra empty space is placed between consecutive zones.

Draw Border

When this check box is selected, a border (or frame) is drawn around the network diagram. This option is ignored if no time axis is being drawn or if no Zone variable is specified.

Suppress Page Numbers

When this check box is selected, no page numbers are drawn in the upper right-hand corner of a multipage network diagram. By default, pages are numbered from left to right, top to bottom.
