Scale choice
Depending on the cartography used, the Magnifying tool
will operate in a different manner.
Seamless mode
MaxSea generally handles charts using the seamless mode. The TrueViewú Chart Technology, an exclusive MaxSea feature, overcomes scale
and zoom inconstencies found in other seamless raster chart technology. TrueView
dynamically combines charts of varying scale to display a truly seamless
chart image.
Click the Magnifying tool
in the Tools palette to select it, then move the cursor over the chart and
position it on the point around which you wish to center the display.
Click and hold the mouse button down, and the pop-up scale menu appears.
Select the scale required; after a short while, the chart is drawn at the
scale chosen and centered on the point clicked.
Note: under seamless mode, cartographic data is available on the zone when the
scales are written in standard style. If this is not the case, MaxSea increases the
cartographic data and displays the
button in the lower left-hand corner of the chart window.
Chart by chart mode
To open a chart window under the Chart by chart mode select New chart window from the Display menu; then, select Chart by chart option: a new chart window is displayed, under the Chart by chart mode.
Under Chart by chart mode, the Magnifying tool
will operate as follows.
Click the Magnifying tool
in the Tools palette to select it, then move the cursor over the chart and
position it on the point around which you wish to center the display.
Click and hold the mouse button down; the pop-up menu of the list of charts
appears.
Note: under Chart by chart mode, the list of charts available under the point clicked is displayed in place of the scale menu.
Select the chart you want to display; after a short while, the requested chart
is drawn.
If you want to display a chart which is not in the pop-up menu list, select
the last item Choose a chart which allows you to access to the complete list of charts.
Note: depending on the cartography used, the selected chart can be displayed in
several resolutions. The first items of the pop-up menu permit you to change the
resolution of the displayed chart.
