Chapter 7 Viewing and Printing Output
Pop up a “Quick Change” menu by right-clicking anywhere on
the plot. Click any item on the menu to perform a single
function. For example, to quickly turn network “Names” off, first
right-click to get the quick change menu, and then click the
“Show Names” item to uncheck or disable names.
You can also access all the “Tool Button” functions from this
popup menu as well as bring up the full the Plot Options dialog
discussed on the previous page.
Use this quick change menu for an easy way to access the Plot
Page Setup dialog for setting up the printer before previewing or
printing a network plot. Printing of your plot is described later in
this section.
Some Keyboard “Hot” keys available also toggle some plotting items on and off:
Toggle point names, markers and descriptors with N, M, and J.
Toggle sideshots, sideshot names, markers and descriptors with: S, X, C and D.
Toggle ellipses and relative ellipses (when computed) with E and R.
Other basic mouse operations in the plot window include the following:
Drag a box around any area of the plot to quickly zoom in. Drag a zoom-box by
holding down the left mouse button and dragging a rectangular enclosure.
Double-click any point or line to get adjusted
information about that item. This data includes error
ellipse values if error propagation was performed.
The information box can be moved off to one side,
out of the way.
The example shown here is adjusted information for
station 5 including coordinates, elevation and error
propagated ellipse values.
As you move the mouse around the plot window,
North and East coordinates displayed in the status
line are continuously updated with the project
coordinates at the mouse pointer. The width of the
window is shown in project units so that any time
you zoom in, or resize the window, you always have a good sense of the plot scale.
Just like with the Listing Window, the Plot Window also has a memory. Once you size
and locate the window, the next time the program is run and a plot is displayed, the plot
window automatically appears the same size and in the same location.
