SurView Tutorial
Printing |
|
When you select File | Print... to print the map or stacked
profile window, SurView prints the current 'view' of the data, as you
see it on the screen. If you want to print another part of the map,
zoom/pan to the required view and then print.
The Print dialog box displays an image of the current map view. Note
that the legend windows do not appear in this image, but will be printed
in their current location and size. From the printing dialog box, you
can do the following:
- choose the printer
- choose the paper & orientation
- choose the map scale
- split the plot onto several pieces of paper
- adjust the margins around the map
- specify a simple set of titles to annotate the plot
Initial dialog box
The printing dialog box is initialized with a map scale that
will fit the map to the paper on the default printer.
Set the scale
Choose the paper and orientation and pick a suitable scale. If the map
won't fit on the paper, SurView will print it on several pieces of paper
(as required).
Select the pieces to print
Click on pages that are not wanted with the left mouse button. Click again
to toggle the setting. This provides an opportunity to print at a specific
scale, but only print part of the map.
Centre the map on the paper
If the map fits on a single piece of paper, the margins
can be set to centre the map on the page.
Set the map titles
Click Titles to set the map titles. Choose a title from
the drop-down listboxes (these are the titles gathered from the
titles of all of the files in the File Display List) or enter
your own. There are two titles and each can be placed in a different
location on the map.
There is also provision for marking the current date on the map and the
map scale.
Printing the stacked profiles |
|
Each set of stacked profiles for a flight line (from an SLD file)
is displayed in a separate window - each map and stacked profile
window can be printed separately.
The dialog box is similar to the dialog box used for Printing the map,
except that the stacked profiles can be printed only on a single piece of paper and
there are no additional titles.
