VCS Hints: Outfill Editor Panel |
Access: via Outfill Graphics Method Panel -> Attribute Set Name
The Outfill Editor Panel displays the outfill graphics method attribute set names and assignment values. The primary purpose of the outfill graphics method is to display continents by filling their area as defined by a surface type array that indicates land, ocean, and sea-ice points. More generally, the outfill graphics method fills a set of integer values in any data array.
How to Use the Outfill 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 attribute
set 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.
Converting the X-, Y-axis:
The x- and y-axis for the outfill graphics method can be changed from linear
(the default setting) to: log base 10 (log10), natural log (ln), exponential
(exp), or area weighted (area_wt). Move the pointer over the `xaxisconvert'
or 'yaxisconvert' menu button and press and hold the left mouse button.
Then move the pointer over the desired axis transformation and release
the left mouse button. Select the red `Apply' button to register changes.
Changing the Fillarea Type:
To change the fillarea type of the outfill, access the (Tf)
Fillarea Table Panel (via Main Menu - `Basic' -> `Fillarea Table
(Tf)'). To copy a fillarea type, move the pointer to the desired fillarea
attribute set name and click the middle mouse button. To drop, move
the pointer to the dark green `Tf' input text window on the Outfill Editor
Panel and click the middle mouse button. Select the red `Apply'
button to register changes.
Setting the Outline Values:
Move the pointer into the `outline' input text window and click the left
mouse button. Type in the desired values separated by commas `,'. As few
as one, or as many as ten values can be given.
