    87Various settings that influence the visual representation of the whole program.
    9 Display settings are grouped into several tabs 'GPS Points', 'OSM Data', 'Colours', 'Look and feel'.

    109Some settings are only displayed in [wikitr:/Help/ExpertMode expert mode].
    11 
    12 == GPS Points == #GpsPoints
    13 Settings to do with the display of GPS Points. These settings control the display of track points if you use JOSM with GPS traces loaded in from a local file, or everybody's trackpoints downloaded from the OpenStreetMap server.
    14 
    15 You can cause lines to be drawn between raw GPS points.
    16 
    17 The size which GPS points are displayed in can be changed from standard to large.

    21 === Track and Point Coloring ===
    22 
    23 There are different ways to colorize gps-tracks.
    24 
    25 When choosing one of Velocity, Direction or Dilution of Position, a legend is displayed in the top right corner of the map view if the gpx-layer is the current [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/LayerList#LayerButtons active layer]. Example:

    56 === Select and draw mode options ===
    57

    67 
    68  Smooth map graphics (antialiasing)::

    74 
    75  Highlight target ways and nodes::
    76  Highlight target nodes and ways while drawing or selecting.

    85 
    86 === Other options ===
    87 
    88  Draw boundaries of downloaded data::
    89  Draw the boundaries of data loaded from the server.
    90  When downloading an area you get and see all the data within the rectangular bounding box you chose.
    91  This includes some ways extending outside that box. 
    92  It therefore becomes difficult to distinguish which areas contain full or partial data. 
    93  If you check the "Draw boundaries of downloaded data" box, yellow hatching is drawn over all the areas into which data has not been fully downloaded. 
    94  You should avoid adding or editing data in areas of yellow hatching as it may duplicate already existing data or conflict with data you don't see.
    95  This option can be changed with [wikitr:/Help/Menu/View Draw boundaries of downloaded data] on the View menu, too.
    96 
    97  Draw inactive layers in other color::
    98  Draw the inactive data layers in a different color.

    101  Display discardable keys::
    102  Display keys which have been deemed uninteresting to the point that they can be silently removed.
    103  They will be listed in light grey color in the Tags/Memberships panel.

    105 
    106  Use auto filters::
    107  Display buttons to automatically filter numeric values of a predefined tag.
    108  [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/Filter#Autofilters Auto filters] can be enabled here and the tag to be used for the autofilter can be chosen.
    109 
    110  Rule::
    111  Rule defining which tag will provide automatic filters, below a certain zoom level.

    116 
    117 == Colors == #Colors
    118 Color choices. These largely relate to display of OSM data layers too.  You can change the color scheme for the display of nodes, ways, background, etc.  "Paint style" options all relate to the non-wireframe view ('View' menu option)
