Highlighting and Showing Contributor's Symbols

X

Highlighting - You may select a single contributor, via the adjacent to their observer code. The selected contributor symbols will then be highlighted with the symbol: (The highlighted contributor can be changed at any time.)

Contributor Symbols show/hide To select specific contributor's symbols to show, first uncheck :All Contributors. This will then hide all symbols for all contributors. Now select the checkbox adjacent to each contributor's observer code whose symbols you want to view.

Toggle Contributor Button CODE When a contributor's symbols are checked for viewing, a toggle button will be placed at the right of the plot. Toggle the button to show/hide that contributor's symbols.

Note: Only those symbols whose bands are selected for viewing will be visible.

Zoom & Observation Data

X

The Zoom creates a rectangle that expands the plot to show only the symbols enclosed within the rectangle.

Zooming In When the 'Zoom' button is clicked, a cross hair will appear at the cursor. (Toggle the 'Zoom' button to cancel.) Click to locate the rectangle's upper-left corner. The rectangle will appear with an attached drag-dot. The rectangle, with its drag-dot, can be moved. Move the drag-dot until the rectangle encloses the desired symbols. Releasing the drag-dot will expand the rectangle to fill the plot area.

To step back through previous zoomed areas, select the 'Back' button.
- Slide Zoom View - You may use the green left/right arrow buttons to slide the current view. Toggle the arrow button to move the view.
