This command labels the elevations of a profile along the bottom
horizontal axis at a user-specified interval. It requires an
existing grid and profile. The profile can be read from either a
.PRO file or from a profile polyline on the grid. This polyline
must be drawn in the direction of the grid. There are more labeling
options when using the screen polyline method.
In the dialog, you can set the layer name, style, size, color
and decimal places for the labels. Two profiles can be labeled at
once to handle existing and final profiles in one step (see
graphic). When labeling two profiles with the "File" method
(recalling a profile), use the "L" justification for the first set
of horizontal axis elevations, and use the "R" justification for
the second set. One convention is to label the existing profile to
one decimal place and the final profile to two decimal places. When
labeling only one profile, use the center justification. When using
two profiles from the "Screen" selection method, there is an option
to also label the elevation difference between the profiles. The
Label Between Elevations option chooses between labeling the values
in the order of existing elevation, cut/fill and final elevation or
in the order of existing elevation, final elevation then cut/fill.
The Skip Elevation Labels option will label only the cut/fill and
not the elevations. The Save and Load functions are to save and
recall settings from this dialog using a .HOR file.
