Cusp Annotation

Cusp annotation properties in the "Wheel Designer"...

•Inner & Outer Circle - These define the circles between which the cusp annotation will be drawn.

•Cusp Style - This must be Normal, Crystal, Teardrop or Lotus. You can see what these different styles look like by selecting them and redrawing the wheel. Cusp styles other than normal require a reasonable width between inner and outer circles to look their best.

•Show Interceptions - This must be either True or False. If this property is true, then sign glyphs for any intercepted signs are displayed as well as the glyphs on the house cusps. Ignored unless Cusp Style is normal.

•Inner & Outer Tick Length - These define the length of tick marks pointing out from the inner circle and in from the outer circle, and must be between 0 and 1. Try a value of .02 as a starting point. Set this value to 0 to prevent ticks appearing.

•Glyph Visible – This must be one of Sign Glyphs On, No Sign Glyphs, or Sign Abbr On. The last option forces the sign to be displayed as a two-letter abbreviation instead of as an astrological glyph.

•Degrees, Minutes Visible - This must be either True or False. If this property is false, then the degree text or minute text on each house cusp will not be displayed. For example, you might like to display only the degree number on each cusp, in which case you should set the Minutes Visible property to false.

•Glyphs, Degrees, Minutes FontSize - This allows you to choose in what font size this item should be displayed. Ignored if not visible.

•Glyphs, Degrees, Minutes Bold - This must be either True or False. This allows you to choose whether this item should be displayed in a normal font if false, or a bold font if true. Ignored if not visible.

•Glyphs Italic - This must be either True or False. This allows you to choose whether the sign glyphs on each house cusp should be displayed in a normal font if false, or an italic font if true. Ignored if not visible.
