The Edges Display command allows the selection of displaying the edges, the edge labels, the edge widths, and the edge colors. You select to display none, all, or only adjacent relation edges between the facilities. You also select to display the original or adjusted relationships as edge labels or no edge labels. You can select the width of all the edges to thin or to be proportional to the relationship between the department pairs. Finally, you select the colors used to display edges with positive and negative relationships. The Edges Display election dialog window is shown in Figure 5.48.
Click on OK to accept the modifications that you have made to which edges will be displayed. If you click on Cancel then all the modifications that you made will be discarded and which edges will be displayed will not be modified.
The adjusted interdepartmental relation is used in the graph construction procedures to incorporate relations with the outside. For further information see the Graph Algorithms section in the Design Algorithms chapter.
The dialog window allows the selection of the colors to draw the positive and negative edges in the graph and block layout. The colors have to be selected from the list of valid colors given in Table 5.4. The standard colors are FOREST for the positive edges and BROWN for the negative edges.
