Display Mode

Function Description:Display or hide the display mode settings panel for the window. The settings panel is shown below.

Steps

1. Select the window whose display mode needs to be configured.
2. Select the data type to control rendering.
3. Select a rendering mode from the rendering drop-down list. Point clouds currently support nearly 20 rendering modes, including display by elevation, intensity, classification, RGB, GPS time, tree ID, and mixed display.
4. Set the rendering parameters. The corresponding window renders the data object according to the configured parameters.

The following image shows the rendering by tree ID:

Display by RGB

1. Select the window to set the display mode.
2. Choose the type of point cloud.
3. Select "Display by RGB" to show the point cloud according to its RGB properties.
4. Click on the color selection button and a pop-up window will appear for selecting colors. Set up your desired color in this window or click on "Pick Screen Color" button, then click on a pixel in the point cloud window that you want to pick (for example ground color). Click "OK" when finished with color selection.
5. Check "Certain color display", which will bring up a buffer setting interface where you can choose to display only points with selected colors (for example, only showing ground points).
6. Modify buffer values to adjust allowed range of displayed colors. The left image below shows display by RGB while right image shows specified color rendering.

Display by Classification

1. Select the window whose display mode needs to be configured.
2. Select the point cloud data type.
3. Select Display by Classification. The point cloud is rendered according to classification information.
4. After selecting a single class to view, you can continue rendering the data inside that class by elevation, RGB, intensity, TreeID, and other attributes.
5. Multi-attribute display within a single class enables multidimensional visual analysis of data differences inside the same classification.

Vector Display

Vector data supports four display modes: Height, File, Contours, and Layers.

1. Height: Colors are assigned based on the elevation of the vector data.
2. File: Different vector files are assigned different color schemes.
3. Contour: Displays contours based on elevation data.
4. Layer: Different layers are displayed with different colors, with visibility control for individual layers.

Note: This mode is only applicable to .shp files generated from point clouds.

Raster Display

Raster data supports Single Band, Hillshade, and Classification display modes.

1. Single Band: Displays raster data based on the cell values. Supports selection of different color ramps and overlaying of hillshade.
2. Hillshade: Applies hillshade rendering using grayscale imagery.
3. Classification: Displays different classes in different colors according to the classification information in the raster data.

Table Display

Table data supports Elevation and File display modes. 1.Height: Displays based on the elevation of the coordinates in the table file. 2.File: Different table files are displayed with different colors, which can be customized.

Model Display

Models support display modes by Height, Class, Texture, Semantic, and Vertex Color.

1. Height: Displays the model based on its elevation.
2. Class: Displays the model in a single color, which can be customized.
3. Texture: For models with textures (e.g., .LiModel, .LiBIM files), display by the texture colors.
4. Semantic: For .LiBIM files, roofs, walls, and ground are displayed in different colors.
5. Vertex Color: For models with vertex colors (e.g., .obj files generated from surface reconstruction), displays as a colored model based on vertex colors.

Supports changing model data transparency.
