This section describes the global display parameters. Most of them are
contained in the Display Options window provided via VIEW – OPTIONS.
Display option settings can be stored in the *.INI file, cf. section 4.5.
VIEW - OPTIONS... - [NETWORK] contains options for displaying the link network.
The following options are available:
● Normal shows links in
their full width with
selected color.
● Center Line displays
only the link
centerlines using one
of these colors:
- Blue: Normal links
- Green: Links without
visualization
(e.g. tunnel or
underpass)
- Pink: Connectors
- Red: PT stops
● Invisible: Links are not displayed at all but will be highlighted if selected.
This option can be used to animate the simulation on a background map.
● Total Redraw every time step: VISSIM completely redraws the entire
screen at every visualization interval.
● Display Compass: Displays a compass indicating the North direction.
Double click inside the compass toggles the edit mode where the
following actions can be done:
- Rotate: Click and drag the mouse to change the North orientation.
- Translate: Click and hold down SHIFT while dragging the mouse to
move the compass to the desired location.
As long as this option is active, the user-defined North direction is regarded
for any directions listed in Node Evaluation output files, cf. section 11.12.
If the compass is not set by the user, "up" is still North, by default.
