====== Filter options ======
If a filter is displayed with an '//options...//' bar at the bottom of the filter rectangle, as shown below, the filter contains additional options that you may edit.

^ A filter with editable options. ^
To edit the filter options, double-click the left mouse button over the filter. This will open a 'filter options' window, which will be either a //basic options window// or an //advanced options window//, as described below.
===== Basic option windows =====
By default, filters present their options using a basic list window provided by L3DT, such as that shown below. To edit any of the settings, double-click on their entry in the list.

^ A 'basic' options window, from the 'CreateMap' filter ^
Basic options windows do no 'sanity checks' on the values you enter, so in the event of errors, please check your entered values against the recommendations given on the [[plugins:calc:zeograph:filters|filter's reference page]].
===== Advanced option windows =====
Instead of using the default //basic// options window, some filters use advanced options windows that are custom-built for each filter. An example advanced options window (for the 'CombineMaps' filter) is shown below:

^ An 'advanced' options window, from the 'CombineMaps' filter ^
Advanced options windows //should// perform error-checking on your entered values (to the extent that this is possible), and inform you of any possible problems.
===== What do the options do? =====
The meaning of each filter's setting should be explained on the [[plugins:calc:zeograph:filters|reference page for the filter]].
