Click to get back to the plot options for the Plates. Now select Color Filled
and the Contour option indented beneath it. Click OK.
This gives a more colorful representation of the Mx distribution. Note that for the
previous line contour each line represented a specific value; for this color fill
contouring the colors represent a range of values that are displayed in the legend.
Printing Graphic Results
Click on the Plot Options button and on the Members tab select the
Rendered option and click OK. Now click the Print button on the RISA
Toolbar. Select Landscape because our model view window is similar to a
landscape paper orientation.
We can adjust the plot here if necessary. The scale factors scale fonts and
symbols. You may also omit the title bar or add comments if you wish.
Click Continue and go to the printer dialog. Once you have selected your printer
click OK and the plot will be sent.
Remember that the scale factors control the labels and legends and can be
adjusted to whatever you like.
Now that we have covered all of the result spreadsheets and graphics we will take
a minute to look at the window tiling options that RISA-3D provides.

options as you wish. Before you move on to the next section select the Three
Results Views tiling.
