Introduction

All tests have been done with Rocrail Version 136 (29. Oct. 2019).

Here it should be shown which color a Rocrail track element shows in certain situations.
The Rocrail track element used within the following tests is marked here:

The test uses the standard SVG theme "SpDrS60".
The track element is a "straight.svg" ()
with its variations "straight-occ.svg" (), "straight-route.svg" () and "straight-shunt.svg" ().
Other SVG themes may be tested easily by the reader using the Rocrail workspace below.

The Test Parameters

Several parameters determine the color of track elements and therfore the presentation of routes:
a) inside the Rocview Properties (the default values):
- ON = Process route events
- ON = Process block events
- OFF = Show routes on switches
- OFF = Route priority
These values were used as constant values during the test.


b) inside the track properties
b1) the "Block ID" and
b2) the "Sensor";


c) the corresponding sensor being active or not active.


d) loco with "Shunting" ON or OFF;

The Test Results

The tables below show the complete list of all value combinations of b1) b2) c) and d).
The Rocrail track element used within the tests is marked in the header of the tables.
The table is split into two parts.
Part one: there is no loco present within block "bk01":
the "hypothetical" combination 09 to 16 is included for completeness; "hypothetical" because of "no loco, no shunting".
