Hide point attributes
This function permits you to erase point attribute values at points that you specify using standard range specifications. The point attributes that are erased are actually determined by the location about the point and not be the attribute field itself. Thus, the Text alignment input field determines the data that is erased and not the input to the Desc field number input field.
To run this function: Choose Display > Hide point > Attributes, or...
Layer name
The name of the layer from which the data are to be erased may be entered here. The active layer is provided as the default value. You may erase data from all graphics layers by leaving this field blank.
String range
Enter the string range which is to be erased from the screen. You may leave the range blank if you wish to erase point attributes from all strings in the active layer.
Segment range
Enter the segment range which is to be erased from the screen. You may leave the range blank if you wish to erase point attributes from all segments of each string.
Seg pnt range
The input to this field as no effect for erasing data.
Desc field number
This input has no effect when erasing point attributes.
Text Alignment
Different attributes may be drawn at a number of locations about each point. The location of the attribute is determined by entering the manner in which the attribute is to be aligned relative to the point of interest. Similarly, when erasing point attribute data, you must define the location from which the data are to be erased. The text alignment is defined using a number of alignment characters. These alignment characters and their meaning are shown in the table below.
| < | left aligned |
| > | right aligned |
| ^ | top aligned |
| v | bottom aligned |
| * | centre aligned |
| <^ | left and top aligned |
| <v | left and bottom aligned |
| >^ | right and top aligned |
| >v | right and bottom aligned |
Result
The point attributes from the specified layer and/or ranges entered above are erased.
