=== Map Panel === In this panel (Drawing area) the map and [[User_Guide#Map_Windows|map windows]] are shown. [[Image:mappanel.png|thumb|frame|right]] The position of the map is stored in the user preferences on the server. To navigate in the mappanel use the left mouse to pan the map. To zoom in and out the mouse scrollwheel is used. Zooming in or out on the area can be accomplished using options of the [[User_Guide#Viewer_Toolbar|viewer toolbar]] However, dragging the left mouse button while holding down the ''shift'' key can also perform zoom in. The selected area is shown with a rubber band rectangle while moving the mouse. The moment the user releases the button, the picture is re-drawn (refreshed) applying the current co-ordinates. It must be noted that whatever rectangle is selected, the longest side of the resulting area is matching the longest side of the selected rectangle. ==== Control Area ==== [[Image:controlarea.png|frame|right]] So-called layers represent the actual presentation. The various layers are related to a certain type of information that can be selected from the database or has been calculated. The user is able to control which data layer is to be presented, using the toggle buttons in the control area. A red dot means that the layer is disabled while a green checkmark indicates an active layer. # ''Map Information'' #* The geographical information of the selected area. # ''Grid'' #* The grid of the map # ''Flights'' #* The selected flight(s) for the query. # ''Track Density'' #* To calculate density plots of tracks in the current flight selection. # ''Runways'' #* The runways. #*# OffenderBox #*# Draw the offender box around the airfields # ''Route info'' #* Route information #*# ''Nominal'' #*#: The nominal route of the selected flight(s). #*# ''Tolerance'' #*#: The tolerance routes of the selected flight(s). #*# ''Borders'' #*#: The border (warning) routes of the selected flight(s). [[Image:controlarea_off.png|frame|thumb|Offender box]] # ''Builtup Info'' #* The built-up areas with the co-ordinates as used in the calculations. # ''Track statistics'' #* Average #*: The statistic average flight of the selected flight-set. #* Middle #*: The statistic middle of the selected flight-set. #* % Conf. limits #*: The area in which (with P % certainty) the average flight track (of a similar flight-set) #* % boundaries #*: The area within which P % of the flights in the selected flight-set can be found. ==== Altitude Bands ==== [[Image:altbands.png|150px|frame|right]] Altitude bands colouring enables the user to visualise, via colour coding, height bands in the map panel. [[Image:altbandsflight.png|frame|left|thumb|Effects of altitude band coloring]] The first band color will be used for '''all''' altitudes below the given level. The last band color will be used for '''all''' altitudes above the given level. In order to refrain certain altitudes from rendering a transparant color can be used. ===== Altitude band edit ===== [[Image:altbandsedit.png|thumb|frame|Editing of latitude bands]] In order to edit the altitude bands, click with the left mouse button in the Altitude bands window on a altitude color band. All edits effect can directly being seen in the map panel. * Editing of a color *: Select a color and use the ''Swatches'', ''HSB'' or ''RGB'' tabs to select or create a new color, the color can also have an alpha factor which indicates the transparancy of the color, when the slider is at the top the transparancy is turned off. * Adding a new altitude band. *: Click on the ''New'' button a new altitude band will be added at the end of the altitude range. On default it will have the value 99000 (or higher if this level already exists). * Delete an altitude band. *: Select a altitude band and click on the ''Delete'' button. * Cancelling the edits. *: To cancel the edits click on the ''Cancel'' or ''Close'' button. * Accept the edits. *: Click on the ''Ok'' button. ==== Compass ==== [[Image:compass.png|100px|frame|left]] The compass is a transparent window which the compass icon but also the mapsize indicator. ==== Map Layer Control ==== [[Image:maplayerscontrol.png|250px|frame|right]] The Map Layers Control window controls the map layers. The checkmark enable or disable the visual present of a map layer ===== Ordering map layers ===== Using the arrow buttons the ordering of the layers can be managed. The layers are drawn from top to bottom. The ordering effect is more present when the ''Transparent'' checkbox is deselected. [[Image:mlc_roads1.png|thumb|frame|left|Main_Roads layer drawn second]] [[Image:mlc_roads2.png|thumb|frame|left|Main_Roads layer drawn last]] ===== Enable Text ===== This checkbox enables the drawing of the text entries in the map. ===== Transparent ===== When this checkbox is selected all layers are drawn in a transparent way. In this way the layer ordering effects are more or less cancelled. ===== Alpha slider ===== [[Image:mlc_alphaslider.png|frame|left|The Alpha slider]] [[Image:mlc_alpha.png|thumb|frame|right|The Alpha effect]] Use the alpha to ''fade away'' the map. The utmost right position will disable the alpha effect. The effect can be use to let the flight tracks to stand out more, e.g. when printing the result. ===== Gray ===== The option to present all colors in the map in grayscale. ===== Map Selection ===== [[Image:mapselection.png|frame|thumb|right|Map selection list]] In the default situation the ''Map Selection'' part has no function other than showing the map loading progress. However for advanced users there is a possibility to support multiple map sources, which means that on the client multiple map variants are available. With dropdown list a different map can be selected. ==== Profile Window ==== [[Image:profile1.png|frame|thumb|right|Profile with Height]] [[Image:profile2.png|frame|thumb|right|Profile with Speed]] The profile window is a presentation window that shows flight profiles as an X/Y-plot using automatic and user-controlled scaling. Both the height- and groundspeed-profiles can be displayed for all flights in a flight-set or for a single flight selected. These profiles are automatically (re-)drawn after a new flight selection or new single flight selection. ----
