Track Visualization Settings

Customize the Color of Missing Samples

Missing sample points are always visualized in the track plot. You can change the color of missing samples to distinguish them more easily from the actual data. The current color for missing samples is indicated next to Missing Sample Color. To change the color for missing samples, click the button and select a new color in the Color window.

Display Background, Arenas and Zones

Aim

To customize how the background image, the arena and the zones are displayed in Track Visualization or Integrated Visualization.

Customize the Background (for Track Visualization)

  1. Choose Analysis > Results > Plot Tracks.
  2. On the toolbar, click the Show/Hide button and select Background.
  3. Select one of the following, then click OK.
    • Plain. To have a uniform background. Click the button next to this option to select a color. To select colors other than the basic ones, click the button Other.
    • Captured Image. If you want to have the captured image from the Arena Settings as background.

Show/Hide the Video Image (for Integrated Visualization)

Choose Analysis > Results > Plot Integrated Data. The Video window is shown by default. To hide the Video window, click the Show/Hide button on the toolbar and deselect Video Window.

Show/Hide Arenas and Zones in the Track Plots

Arenas, zones and points can be displayed on top of the background as overlay objects. The color of each arena and zone depends on the color chosen in the Arena Settings.

  1. Choose Analysis > Results > Plot Tracks or Plot Integrated Data.
  2. Click the Show/Hide button on the toolbar and select Arena Features.
  3. Select the arena feature you want to have displayed.

Arenas and zones are shown in a semi-transparent color, so their appearance also depends on what you select as background.

If you want to change the color of an arena or zone group, open the appropriate Arena Settings, click the correct Color row and select the color of your choice.

For a multi-arena setup, you cannot select to view some arenas and not others.
