Working with Grids
Gridding is the basic mapping technique used in Vertical Mapper. The
Grid Manager is the central dialog box from which you can open, sort, view, and
manipulate grids. Vertical Mapper also includes several tools that enable you to
extract information from grids, create legends for grids, display graphs relating
to grid information, and create contour grids.
This section describes how to:
• use the Vertical Mapper toolbar
• use the Grid Manager
• use the Grid Info, Region Info, and Line Info tools
• use the Grid Colour Tool and the Dictionary Editor
• display legends
• work with graphs
• create polyline and region contour grids
