This section describes how to define the general settings for the pipelines. The following is an example of the General page of the Pipeline property sheet.

The following table describes each property in the General page.

		Type	Example
Property		Description
ID		The object’s identifier. It is generated when the object is created. The identifier is unique within the screen where the object is located. The format of the IDs for the pipelines is PLnnnn.
Note		You can type a note for the object.
Type		The type of the pipeline. There are five types available:
		2D Type 1
		2D Type 2
		2D Type 3
		3D Type 1
		3D Type 2
Shading		Select a shading method when the Type is “3D Type 1” or “3D Type 2”. There are three shading methods available:
Diameter		Specifies the diameter of the pipeline.
Border Color		Specifies the border color of the pipeline.
Body/Content Color		Specifies the body or content color of the pipeline.
Flow Effect On/Off Control		Check this option if you want to enable or disable the flow effect for the pipeline at runtime. The flow effect will be enabled when bit 3 of the control word is on.
Body/Content Color Changeable	<Check Box>	Check this option if you want to control the body/content color of the pipeline at runtime. The variable that controls the pipeline is called the control word and is specified in the Address field.
	View Color	Select a color so you can view the pipeline painted with that color.
		View Color	Painted With
		1	Body/Content Color
		2	Body/Content Color #2
		3	Body/Content Color #3

		Bit	Assignment
		0	Shows body/content color #2 when this bit is on
		1	Shows body/content color #3 when this bit is on
		2	Blinks when this bit is on
		3	Shows the flow effect when this bit is on
Flow Effect	Default Symbols	Select a set of symbols as the default symbols for the flow effect. There are 14 available sets: Click to make all pipes of the pipeline use the default symbols for the flow effect.
	Default Color	Select a color as the default color for the flow symbols. Click to make all pipes of the pipeline use the default color for the flow symbols.
