(Choosing a different icon also deselects this icon.)

Pan

Use the Pan function to reposition the imagery in your main display

window. After clicking the icon, left-click your mouse or trackball in your
imagery and then draw a line in the direction you wish to move the image —
the longer the line, the greater the shifted distance of the image in the
display window. The line does not have to be touching (but can be touching)
any part of the image. If you decide not to use this function, click the icon
again to return the icon to a non-selected state. (Choosing a different icon
also deselects this icon.)

Measure Tool

The Measure tool function enables measurement of range and

bearing between points on the image. When you left-click and draw a line in
the main display window, DelphMap displays the imagery’s distance and
heading in the last two frames of the Position and Distance window. The
reported values are “sticky”; that is, they remain displayed until you click
again in the image to establish a new distance and heading. If you decide
not to use this function, click the icon again to return the icon to a non-
selected state. (Choosing a different icon also deselects this icon.)

Edit/Save a Digit

With this icon you can create, edit, and save points or vector lines

as a vector layer. Clicking this icon enables the Draw a Point icon and the
icons for three drawing line types, which you can use to plot waypoints or
profiles of your imagery. You can also access this function from the main
menu by choosing Tools

DigitStart/Stop Digit.
