View tab

Selecting the View tab allows you to change the way the image is displayed and to add radial and azimuthal grids and labels. The color map picker and Gamma slider towards the lower right changes the IDL color map for the displayed image.

Grid

The Grid subsection allows the addition of radial or azimuthal grid overlays to the image, using the checkboxes for each option. Once selected, there are options for dotted line style and drawing fewer grid lines. The colors of these grid lines may be selected using the RGB sliders.

Labels

Labels showing the radial distance from the center (in Earth radii) may be added to the image with the controls in the subsection. There is an option to draw fewer labels, similar to the one for the grid lines. The three sets of RGB sliders change the color for the outer border, the background and for the number part of the labels. Two additional sliders control the label size (in pixels) and the azimuthal angle for the labels' position (in counterclockwise degrees).

Settings

The Load defaults button restores the program defaults set in the Grid and Labels subsection. The Save current as default saves the current settings to an IDL save file called view_settings.sav. If this file is present in the current directory when the program starts, it will re-load the saved settings.
