Waveform Display

grid

Display a grid in the waveform display.

cursor

Change the default cursor style.

auto-scale

If checked, the y-axis waveform range is calculated automatically. If it is not checked, then the values range and usage are used.

range

A value between 0 and 100. A value of 100 sets the maximum y range to the maximum possible amplitude. This value is ignored if auto-scale is turned on.

usage

A value between 0 and 100. The percentage of the window height to use for the waveform display.

draw envelope

If checked, draw the envelope of the wave form, otherwise, use a solid fill.

line

Specify the waveform color.

show following attributes (blank separated)

Specify which attributes to display in the segments. The default is the segment ID.

Segment Display and Control

height

The height of the graph to use for one segment. If you have a lot of overlapping segments, this may have to be reduced.

segments below waveform graph

If you prefer, you can start drawing the segments from the bottom of the graph. If you do not want the segments drawn over the waveform, you can either reduce the height, or reduce the usage value.

line style

Choose the segment color.

arrange by

Choose whether segments should be ordered by their time values (making sure they don't overlap) or by an attribute. If arranged by attribute, you must specify which attribute will be used, and which values to put into different lines. For example, if you have an attribute 'Type' with possible values like 'uttr', 'word' and 'phon', specify 'uttr word phon' in the values (separated by blanks) box.

values (separated by blanks)

A list of attributes to put on different lines. Any other attribute values will be put on the same line.

attribute separator in metasegment text

If you specify more than one attribute to display in the segments (see show following attributes (blank separated)), you can choose to separate them with a comma, a semi-colon, or a new line.

Spectrogram Display and Parameter Setup

grid

Turn the graph background grid on or off.

cursor

Set the cursor style.

auto-scale

If on, then the spectrogram floor is automatically calculated. Otherwise, set the floor dB value (a value <= 0).

range

The dB range to use for minimum/maximum amplitude values.

frame

The analysis frame length in milliseconds

overlap

The frame overlap in percent.

use

There are two frame/overlap settings. Specify which one to use for display. You can toggle between them in by using the frm= combobox.

window

Select the window to use for analysis.

frequency

The spectrogram frequency range.

unit

The spectrogram frequency (y-axis) unit.

show following attributes (blank separated)

The list of segment attributes to display as segment text. If none are specified, the segment ID is used.
