Behind the bandmap scale, the CW part of the band is one shade and the phone
part another, with a third for a digital block. That is what N1MM's graphical
bandmap does: ResizeBandPanels puts a CW, a Digi and an SSB panel behind the
scale, sized from its CWBands, DigiBands and SSBBands tables. Anything past a
band edge is shaded red, which is the only place the edges themselves show, and
it only appears now that the slice can reach past an edge.
The defaults are N1MM's: CW ends at 1840, 3600, 7125, 14150 and so on, and the
digital pair is empty until somebody fills it in, exactly as N1MM ships. They
are one worldwide set rather than one per ITU region, which is also N1MM's
answer — the reason recorded for leaving this out, that the segments differ by
region, was wrong about what N1MM holds. 60M and everything above 2M get no
entry, because N1MM's own numbers there contradict themselves: its 1.25M CW top
is below its phone start, and its 70CM CW top is above the band.
Config ▸ Sub bands edits them, one row per band in kilohertz, with a Defaults
button. Only the rows that differ are written to the settings file, so a plan
nobody has touched leaves nothing behind. BandPlan is an object rather than a
static table, so the stored changes layer over the defaults and the bandmap
picks up a save without a restart.
The numbers are a drawing aid, not a licence. Nothing stops a contact being
logged either side of a boundary.

The bandmap was a list of frequencies and callsigns. It is now a frequency
scale with the stations written out beside it and a leader line from each
callsign back to where the station really is.
BandmapLayout does the placing and has no UI reference, so the rule is unit
tested: put the label centred on its frequency, and if it would cover the one
above, push it below instead. That is N1MM's CalculateOffset, and it is what
keeps three stations a hundred hertz apart readable.
The scale stops short of the top and bottom edges, or the first and last
frequency numbers come out cut in half.
VfoMarker draws the receiver as a bar as wide as the mode passes, rather than a
line. Only the receiver is fed: the radio does not report a transmit VFO or a
second radio yet, so VfoRole has the other two roles ready and nothing draws
them. Band-plan colouring of the scale is left out because the segments differ
by ITU region and there is no band-plan table to read them from.
Checked by running the program against a fake cluster node under Xvfb and
looking at the result: twelve spots, three of them stacked with fanned leaders.
