Header rows: The quantity (0 or 1 or 2 or ...) of rows to which the header font specifications are applied. The header rows are the top rows.
| Header rows = 1 | Header rows = 2 |
|
|
' 0 ' indicates that all rows in the table use the body font settings.
' 1 ' indicates that the top row of the table is rendered per the header font settings.
' 2 ' indicates that the top two rows of the table are rendered per the header font settings.
Font: The font (' SDS2 ' or a TrueType font).
|
For a TrueType font , such as any of those shown here, the header-text " Character width/height ratio " should be set to ' 0.6 ' to have the font rendered at its native width. |
Font style: The style (' Bold ' or ' Bold Italic ' or ' Italic ' or ' Regular ') of the selected header-text " Font ." Different fonts may have different styles available to them.
Justification: Left or Center or Right .
|

Character height: The height (in millimeters) of letters/numbers that make up the header text. This value is independent of the " Drawing scale " of this drawing.
|
Font dependencies: This applies to whatever font is selected as the header-text " Font ," regardless of whether that font is a TrueType font or the ' SDS2 ' font.
Character width/height ratio: The width/height of the characters that make up the label.
|
Font dependencies: This applies to whatever font is selected as the body-text " Font ," regardless of whether that font is a TrueType font or the ' SDS2 ' font. For a TrueType font, a ratio of ' 0.6 ' renders that font at its native width. A ratio larger than 0.6 stretches the font. A ratio less than 0.6 compacts the font. For the ' SDS2 ' font, ' 0.4 ' is the default.
Pen color: 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 or 7 .
|
|
|
The button that is pressed sets the on-screen display color of the label and, if you are using the 'SDS2 ' font , it sets the printed thickness (though not the displayed thickness) of that font. |
For a TrueType header-text font, the " Pen color " affects the display color of the header text, but does not affect the plotted appearance of the" Font " so long as all pens in Line Weights are set to print in black. By default, all pens in Line Weights are set to print in black.
For the ' SDS2 ' Font, the pen color sets the stroke weight (thickness) of the label characters. Line Weights assigns a particular thickness to each " Pen color ."
------ Body ------
Font: The font (' SDS2 ' or a TrueType font).
|
For a TrueType font , such as any of those shown here, the body-text " Character width/height ratio " should be set to ' 0.6 ' to have the font rendered at its native width. |
Font style: The style (' Bold ' or ' Bold Italic ' or ' Italic ' or ' Regular ') of the selected body-text " Font ." Different fonts may have different styles available to them.
Justification: Left or Center or Right .

Character height: The height (in millimeters) of letters/numbers that make up the body text. This value is independent of the " Drawing scale " of this drawing.
|
Font dependencies: This applies to whatever font is selected as the body-text " Font ," regardless of whether that font is a TrueType font or the ' SDS2 ' font.
Character width/height ratio: The width/height of the characters that make up the body text.

Font dependencies: This applies to whatever font is selected as the body-text " Font ," regardless of whether that font is a TrueType font or the ' SDS2 ' font. For a TrueType font, a ratio of ' 0.6 ' renders that font at its native width. A ratio larger than ' 0.6 ' stretches the font. A ratio less than ' 0.6 ' compacts the font. For the ' SDS2 ' font, ' 0.4 ' is the default choice.
Pen color: 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 or 7 .

For a TrueType body-text font, the " Pen color " affects the display color of the body text, but does not affect the plotted appearance of the " Font " so long as all pens in Line Weights are set to print in black. By default, all pens in Line Weights are set to print in black.
For the ' SDS2 ' Font, the pen color sets the stroke weight (thickness) of the label characters. Line Weights assigns a particular thickness to each " Pen color ."
Custom Report: A Custom report is an SDS2 report. If there is a report named in this field, it is likely that the data shown on this window originated from that report.
CSV Report: CSV stands for comma-separated value. A CSV file is a plain text file with a .csv extension. If a file path to such a file has been entered here, then it is likely that the data shown on this window originated from that file.
Report Writer Report: A Report Writer report is an SDS2 report. If the file path to such a report has been entered here, it is likely that the data shown on this window originated from that file.
