- Use same range for all means that the depth colour range should be the same for all datasets.
- Colour from means that the colour range should be taken from either the Z (depth), Backscatter, TVU or THU values. TVU (Total Horizontal Uncertainty) and TVU (Total Vertical Uncertainty) will be calculated automatically first time a display of this is requested.
- Use LOD means that the visualisation technique should be level of details; i.e. effective on large datasets.
- Point marker size means that the size of the graphical marker can be controlled.
- Point outline means that a tiny black line will be plotted around the point marker. Will give a better three dimensional view of the points
- Show navigation: Use this button to turn on and off the display of the Navigation dataset for the selected chart(s). Click the Execute button to perform the display.
