<p><img hspace="3" src="images/pan.jpg"><font color="#0000ff">
<font size="+1">Pan</font></font><a name="Pan"></a>
</p>
<p>This button toggles the GFE Spatial
Editor between map panning on and off. You can pan the map
using your mouse wheel.
</p>
<hr width="100%">
<p><img hspace="3" src="images/toggle1.jpg"><img
nosave="" hspace="3" src="images/toggle2.jpg"><font
color="#0000ff"><font size="+1">Temporal
Editor / Grid Manager</font></font><a name="TEGM"></a>
</p>
<p>This button toggles the GFE between the Grid Manager and the
Temporal
Editor. The screen space for these editors is shared and this toggle
button
allows you to toggle between them.
</p>
<p></p>
<hr width="100%"><br>
<img hspace="3" src="images/expandTimeScale.jpg"><font
color="#0000ff"><font size="+1">Expand
Time</font></font><a name="Expand"></a>
<p>Changes the time scaling for the Grid Manager and Temporal Editor so
that a unit of time is larger. Think of it as a zoom-in time button.
</p>
<p></p>
<hr width="100%"><br>
<img hspace="3" src="images/contractTimeScale.jpg"><font
color="#0000ff"><font size="+1">Contract
Time</font></font><a name="Contract"></a>
<p>Changes the time scaling for the Grid Manager and Temporal Editor so
that a unit of time is smaller. Think of it as a zoom-out time button.
<br>
</p>
<hr width="100%">
<p><img hspace="3" src="images/deselectAll.jpg"><font
color="#0000ff"><font size="+1">Deselect

<p>Deselects any Weather Elements and Time Ranges selected in the Grid
Manager.

<hr width="100%">
<p><a name="GridManagerMode"></a><font color="#3333ff"><font size="+1"><img
src="images/Normal.jpg" alt=""
style="">Grid Manager Display Mode</font></font>
</p>
<p>Allows the user to choose the Grid Manager Display Mode.
The various choices are Normal, History, Saved, Published, Modified,
and Sent. Depending upon the choice, the color coding and labels
within each grid block of the grid manager will indicate various
states. For Normal, the colors indicate whether a grid is
displayed and active within the Spatial Editor. For History, the
color coding indicates the model data source and whether it has been
modified. Saved, Published, Modified, and Sent use color
coding based on the last time the grid was saved, published, modified,
or sent via ISC.<br>
</p>
<hr width="100%">
<p><img hspace="3" src="images/toggleQuickView.jpg"><font
color="#0000ff"><font size="+1">Toggle
Quick View</font></font><a name="QuickView"></a>
</p>
<p>Toggles Quick View Mode on and off. Quick View Mode allows the user
to set the behavior of the Spatial Editor when the pointer is moved
over
the Grid Manager. If the button is selected, the data displayed in the
Spatial Editor is controlled by the cursor position over the Grid
Manager
(i.e. the Spatial Editor displays the grid under the cursor).
Otherwise,
the data displayed in the Spatial Editor does not change when the
cursor
is moved over the Grid Manager time blocks. The default is off.

<hr width="100%"><br>
<img nosave="" src="images/toggleISC.jpg"><font
color="#3333ff"><font size="+1">Toggle
ISC Mode</font></font><a name="ToggleISC"></a>
<p><font color="#000000">Toggle ISC Mode places the GFE in the ISC
(Intersite
Coordination Viewing/Editing) mode. When the GFE is in this mode,
the displayed data in the spatial editor is a composite of the Forecast
grid and the received intersite coordination grids. The data over
your CWA region is from the Forecast database and the remainder of the
displayed grid is the intersite coordination grids. Toggling ISC
mode affects more than the display. Sample display, color table
fit to data operations, move/copy, smooth, and pencil operations are all
affected. When in ISC mode, these tools work on the composite Fcst and ISC
grids.
Refer to the <a href="ISC.html">ISC Training Guide</a> for more
details.</font>
