The last section of the UNA toolbar offers users an ability to control how different analysis results or weights are displayed on the screen, or to prepare UNA result graphics for further manipulation in other software, such as the Adobe Creative Suite.

This tool allows you to change the graphic appearance of UNA features: color schemes of results, result labels, point connection lines etc. The following options are available on the command line:
**Graphics** (Color=*WhiteRed* Results=*RedundancyIndex*
Weight=*None* Mode=*Result* Node=*On* NodeId=*Off*
NodeD2=*Off* DotConnections=*On* DotArrow=*Off*
DotLabel=*On* DotId=*Off* Dots=*On* Edges=*On*
EdgeLabels=*On* Font=*12* DotSize=*5* LineWeight=*3*):
Color = *WhiteRed* allows you to choose different coloring schemes for visualizing UNA analysis results or Origin / Destination / Observer attribute weights.
Results = *RedundancyIndex* option controls which analysis result is currently being displayed.
Weight = *None* option controls which point weights (numeric attributes only) are currently being displayed. Note that point weights can only visualized when a) you have added the points to a network as Origins, Destinations or Observers and b) when Mode is set to *PointWeight*, as discussed in the next option.
Mode = *Result* option toggles which values are graphically displayed on the screen. You can choose between three options:
*PointWeight* will display any numeric weights of point objects that have been added to the network as either Origins, Destinations or Observers. These may include analysis results that have been saved with the Save Result As Weight tool.
*EdgeWeight* will display any numeric weights of curve objects that have been added to the network. These may include analysis results that have been saved with the Save Result As Weight tool.
*Result* will display current analysis results that have been completed and which are being kept in memory (e.g. Reach, Gravity, Betweenness, etc.).
Node = *On* option determines whether small black cross symbols are drawn at the dead-end nodes of the network. These can be useful for detecting topology problems in a network. If a black cross appears at a T-intersection where you expect all paths to connect, then you know there is a problem. Most likely, the street entering perpendicularly does not share an endpoint with the other two segments. Fix the topology errors by manually editing network segment endpoints.
NodeId = *Off* toggles Rhino Node IDs On or Off from the display mode. NodeIds are network nodes with automatically assigned values that the user typically does not need to see.
NodeD2 = *Off* option turns *On*/*Off* red warnings with a numeric value “2” that tell you which nodes have a degree centrality “2” — these are nodes where only two network segments meet. If you see the red number “2” at an intersection you expect more than two links to connect, you know you have a topology issue. See Add Curves to Network tool for more information.
DotConnections = *On* option controls whether blue, red and gray connection lines from Origin, Destination and Observer points respectively are shown to the closest network edge. DotConnections effectively visualize the locations, where Origins, Observers or Destinations are assumed to connect to the network.
DotArrow = *Off* option allows you to further add blue/red/gray arrows to the network representation to show the direction of trips at each node.
DotLabel = *On* controls whether numeric UNA analysis results are shown next to nodes or not. This is an important feature — turning DotLabels off will hide the analysis result labels from display. If you operate with a large number of analysis points, then turning the DotLabels = Off helps improve the display response rate and navigation in the Rhino model.
DotId = *Off* controls whether UNA ID numbers for each network node are displayed. Typical users do not need to display these numbers.
Dots = *On* controls whether network nodes with colored results are shown or hidden.
Edges = *On* controls whether color-coded results are also shown on network edges. This control only affects the Betweenness analysis, where results can be visualized at the edge level.
EdgeLabels = *On* option allows you turn numeric results *On* or *Off* from network edges. This control only affects the Betweenness analysis, where results can be visualized at the edge level.
Font = *12* controls the size of the font on result labels on the screen.
DotSize = *5* controls the size of the dots where UNA results are shown.
LineWeight = *3* controls how thickly network attributes or results are shown on network edges.
Graphic Options tool
The Bake Weight Color tool allows you to assign UNA result colors that are visualized on the screen to the source objects as Rhino object colors. This can be useful if you wish to produce graphic outputs from UNA analysis or export UNA graphics out to other graphic design software, such as Adobe Illustrator, AutoCAD, etc. The tool works with both point and curve objects, and it can save out both graphically displayed results or object attributes (Graphic Options > Mode = *Result*, *LineWeight* or *PointWeight*).
