Command ``Paint visible Spectrogram and TextGrid (by tier)...``
---------------------------------------------------------------

Some of the fields are the same as the ones in
``Draw visible sound and TextGrid``.

.. function:: Paint visible Spectrogram and TextGrid (by tier)...

  :param "Erase first": This is equivalent to ``Edit > Erase all``

in the *Picture*
  window.

Use it to erase the any previous image, so your picture will not
  overlap.

Picture window


TextGrid

* **Draw tier:** Enter the position of the tiers you will show on your picture.
  If you want to show more than one tier, then separate each of them by a
  comma (e.g. ``2, 1`` or ``1, 3``). The plug-in will insert the tiers in the
  specified order from top to bottom.

* **Show boundaries:** Insert vertical-dotted lines across the spectrogram.
  These lines match the tiers boundaries.

Spectrogram

* **Dynamic range (Db):** See the description of the command
  ``Spectrogram > Spectrogram settings...``
  
Margins

* **Write name at the top:** See
  ``Draw visible sound and TextGrid...``.

* **Garnish:** See
  ``Draw visible sound and TextGrid...``.

* **Shade:** With this option, you can hightlight a section of interest in your
  final picture just by selecting a portion of time in the TextGridEditor.
  The selected area will have a grey background color in the TextGrid section.
  To do it, pick the option ``current selection`` once you have selected an
  area. Multiple selections are also possible, this will be explained later.
  Finally, use ``no`` to deactivate this behavior.

* **Left marks:** See
  ``Draw visible sound and TextGrid...``.
