VCS Hints: Continents Editor Panel |
Access: via Continents Graphics Method Panel -> Attribute Set Name
The Continents Editor Panel displays the continents graphics method attribute set names and assignment values. The continents graphics method displays a predefined, generic set of continental outlines in a longitude by latitude space.
How to use the Continents Editor Panel
Changing the Map Projection:
Move the pointer over the `projection' menu button and press and hold the
left mouse button. Then move the pointer over the desired map projection
and release the left mouse button. Select the red `Apply' button to register
changes.
Setting a List Name for Labels and Tick Marks:
Labels and tick marks are: `xticlabels#1', bottom prefixed list name for
x-axis labels and ticks; `xticklabels#2', top prefixed list name for x-axis
labels and ticks; `xmtics#1, left prefixed list name for x-axis minor ticks;
xmtics#2, right prefixed list name for x-axis minor ticks; `yticlabels#1',
left prefixed list name for y-axis labels and ticks; `yticlabels#2', right
prefixed list name for y-axis labels and ticks; `ymtics#1', right prefixed
list name for y-axis minor ticks; `ymtics#2', left prefixed list name for
y-axis minor ticks. From the List Table Panel,
copy and drop the new name into
the yellow input text window.
Defining Data Space in Real-World Coordinates:
The data space defined in the picture template in normalized device coordinates
is mapped to the real-world coordinates given: `datawc_x1', `datawc_x2',
`datawc_y1', `datawc_y2'. A value of `1e+20' cues VCS to use the data coordinate
values.
Changing Line Type:
To change the continents line type, access the (Tl)
Line Table Panel (via Main Menu - `Basic' -> `Line Table (Tl)').
To copy a line type, move the pointer to the desired line attribute set
name and click the middle mouse button. To drop, move the pointer
to the cyan `Tl' input text window on the Continents Editor
Panel and click the middle mouse button. Select the red `Apply'
button to register changes.
