Starting Desire Line Diagram generation
Once you have created one or more Desire Plots, you are ready to start running the Desire Line Diagrams associated with them. These behave very much like LEGION maps, except they only show the uniquely coloured trails of those Entities whose journey(s) you have decided to track and display by defining them in Desire Plots.
You will not be able to start Desire Line Diagrams until you have created at least one active Screen Camera Track on the Timeline. This is so that LEGION Simulator knows where and how to generate the output from the diagram. For information on adding tracks, see Adding Tracks to the Timeline and associated topics. When you have added and defined a Screen Camera Track, you can also add Snapshot events to the track. These events 'take pictures' of the Desire Line Diagram at specific times and save them as graphic files. See Screen Camera Track Events for a recap on creating and defining these events.
To start Desire Line Diagram Generation:
-
click
or select
.
You are prompted to confirm this action because running Desire Line Diagrams changes LEGION Simulator's visualisation settings and suppresses all other operations.
-
Click
Yes to continue.
The Desire Line Diagram will be displayed in the workplace with all filtered Entity trails displayed. All data and screen shots will be saved to the locations and in the format you specify in the Screen Camera Track properties and any Snapshot events you may have added to the track. This screen shot shows the purple Desire Lines of Entities from all Origins.
- If you wish to pause, stop, or reset the Desire Line Diagram, use the relevant icons on the Timeline to do so.
