Application settings
Magrit offers several general settings that allow you to customize the application according to your needs.
Theme
It is possible to choose between two themes for the application interface: the light theme and the dark theme. This option is available in the application menu bar, at the top right of the screen.
Language
It is possible to choose between several languages for the application interface.
Currently only French, English and Spanish are available, but other languages may be added in the future.
This option is available in the application menu bar, at the top right of the screen.
Other settings
Other settings are accessible by clicking on the (?) button in the application menu bar, at the top right of the screen and then by clicking on "General options".
The options offered are as follows:
Default language for number formatting
It is possible to choose the default language for number formatting in the application.
This enables to choose if a number (such as 12345.67) should be formatted as:
en-US: 12,345.67fr-FR: 12 345,67de-DE: 12.345,67es-ES: 12.345,67ar-EG: ١٢٬٣٤٥٫٦٧- etc.
Alignment grid color
It is possible to choose the color of the alignment grid to help position elements on the map.
This grid can be displayed in the “Layout features” section of the application's left-hand side menu.
Default options for legends and graphs
Default settings can be selected for text elements, captions and graphics.
For each type of element (title, subtitle, notes, labels), the user can choose font, size, style, color and alignment.
Default color for no-data values
It is possible to choose the default color for entities without data (this is used in choropleth and categorical choropleth maps).
Activating the “Undo / Redo” function
It is possible to activate or deactivate the “Undo / Redo” functionality within the application.
This is represented by two buttons in the application's menu bar, in the top right-hand corner of the screen.
This allows you to undo or redo the last actions performed in the application.
This option is disabled by default, as it is particularly resource-hungry and can slow down the application in some cases. We recommend activating it only if you have a powerful hardware configuration and/or when working with relatively light datasets.
