2.6.2.4 Changing the Network View Background Color
You can change the color of the network view background and the domain view background (the area
displayed when you open a domain). If you modify background colors, the change is stored in your CTC
user profile on the computer. The change does not affect other CTC users.
Procedure: Modify the Network View or Domain Background Color
Step 1 Right-click the network view or domain map area and choose Set Background Color from the shortcut
menu.
Step 2 On the Choose Color dialog box, select a background color.
Step 3 Click OK.
2.6.2.5 Changing the Network View Background Image
You can replace the background map image displayed in network view with any JPEG or GIF image that
is accessible on a local or network drive. If you want to position nodes on the map based on the node
coordinates, you will need the longitudes and latitudes for the edges of the map. However, if you will
use your mouse to position nodes, coordinates for the image edges are not necessary. The change does
not affect other CTC users.
Note You can obtain the longitude and latitude for cities and Zip Codes from the U.S. Census Bureau U.S.
Gazetteer website (http://www.census.gov/cgi-bin/gazetteer).
Procedure: Change the Network View Background Image
Caution Before you begin this procedure, verify that the image file you want to use is located on your hard
drive and is in JPEG or GIF format. CTC may stop responding if you link to a file that is not JPEG
or GIF, or if you provide an incorrect path.
Step 1 In network view, choose Edit > Preferences. (You also right-click the network or domain map and select
Set Background Image.)
Step 2 On the General tab of the Preferences dialog box (Figure 2-10), deselect Use Default Map.
