This item pops up a window that allows you to set plot attributes for boundary plots. If you select a boundary plot from the Active plots list in the MeshTV Main window, then attributes you change and apply will be applied to the selected plot. Unselected boundary plots will not be changed. If you select this item without selecting a boundary plot first, you will have to select a boundary plot before you can apply the changes. Note that if you make any changes in this window and then select a boundary plot, the attributes of the selected plot will replace your changes.
You can modify the default settings for attributes of future plots by opening this window, making your changes, and then pressing the Make default button. This affects only future plots, not existing ones, and stays in effect only for the remainder of the current MeshTV session unless you also select Save settings from the File menu.

This window allows you to set the attributes assigned to existing or future boundary plots. The attributes include things like boundary color and volume fraction.
If you don't see a description for an item in this window, check in the Shared items section near the front of the chapter.
These color buttons display the colors for each boundary. To change boundary colors, click on a boundary color button to activate the Palette editor . Selecting a new color for a boundary in the Palette editor will update the boundary color in this window. The number displayed on a boundary color button represents the index of the color that is currently assigned to the given boundary.
