The graphic shows the design ratios in the stress or limit of failure states corresponding to the result of the current table row. Depending on the settings in the Global Settings dialog box, these are the results for the mesh node or grid point. They are displayed as linear distributions on the surface or in the layers, based on the results from the surface sides (top, bottom, center).

You can customize the graphic using the buttons in the toolbar. They are assigned the following functions:

Button	Feature
