Icon Icon’s ‘Tool Tip’ Identity and Meaning
Snapshot: If you click this icon, DelphMap:
creates a snapshot of the current three-dimensional contact image,
saves it to your working directory in the format indicated in your three-
dimensional Settings dialog (See ‘To change settings for three-
dimensional contacts’), and
displays a copy of the saved image in the three-dimensional contact
window. A basic caption identifying the contact are imprinted on the
saved image.
An example appears in Figure 45.
Reset to Viewpoint Position: In the course of manipulating your three-
dimensional image (perhaps by right-clicking and dragging in the three-
dimensional window), occasionally you may find that all or part of your
three-dimensional image is no longer fully inside the three-dimensional
Contact window. Click this icon to recenter the image in your three-
dimensional Contact window.
Increase the Vertical Scale: This exaggerates the highs and lows of the
undulations being used to represent the three-dimensional model. You
might want to use this feature if your topography was mostly flat, to make
the differences between highs and lows stand out more distinctly
Reset the Vertical Scale: If you increased or decreased the vertical
scale while viewing your three-dimensional contact, use this icon to
quickly get back to a “neutral” view of your imagery, where the vertical
scale is neither emphasized nor de-emphasized.
