InterMapper InterMapper
RemoteAccess
Use the Preferences command, available from the Edit menu, to set user preferences for the InterMapper user interface. These settings affect only the copy of the InterMapper or InterMapper RemoteAccess you are running - it does not affect other users' settings.
To view and edit InterMapper's preferences:
Use the Map Style panel to set your preference for the style in which your maps are displayed.
Use this panel to enable or disable sound notifications. Select or clear the Play sound notifications check box to turn sounds on or off.
Use this panel to specify the language you InterMapper to use in its user interface.
To change the language from the system default, choose your language from the Language Options dropdown menu. All available language options are listed.
Note: You must restart InterMapper or InterMapper RemoteAccess after changing this option.
Use this panel to specify a default action to take for a device or network that doesn't have an action assigned. Use the Action dropdown menu to choose from these options:
Use this panel to specify whether charts and status windows are hidden when a map becomes inactive. You can also reset the state of "Ignored" windows.
Use this panel to specify whether or not to search for InterMapper servers on the local LAN.
Use this panel to enable or disable the Automatic Update function by selecting or clearing the Automatically check for updates box and select Daily, Weekly, or Monthly from the dropdown menu. This function is also available from the InterMapper Control Center. To check for updates immediately, use the Check Now button on the InterMapper Control Center.
Use this panel to control the amount of information saved in the server log and whether to save it to disk.
Use this panel to specify your preference for animation. Faster animation looks better, but may use more CPU power than you would like, if you are running a slower CPU or have some very large maps.
Use this panel to control the way graphics are rendered.
Use the Anti-aliasing controls to smooth the jagged look of diagonal and curved lines. Some users find that anti-aliased text or lines are blurry or fuzzy. Select or clear the check boxes to apply anti-aliasing to text or graphics.
Note: The Anti-aliasing settings are "hints" to help the graphics system render the graphics. The settings may be ignored by some systems.
Use the Image Scaling slider to choose level of quality to use when viewing maps at a zoom level other than 100%. The algorithm you choose may affect application performance.
Use this panel to specify whether to show a task bar icon for the InterMapper Control Center.
