Vertical cross sections
By selecting vertical cross sections a new window is displayed to
show these. No vertical cross sections appear until model and field have
been selected. When these have been selected in the
Model/field dialogue the positions of the vertical cross
sections will be displayed on the map in the main window.
Here, the vertical cross sections can be selected with a click or
automatically follow the mouse pointer. The time follows time changes in
the main window.
Vertical cross sections and time can be selected in three different ways:
- By selecting name and time in the lists.
- By clicking the arrows to the left and right of name/time the
next/previous vertical cross section/time is selected from the list.
- By using the Ctrl-arrow keys (up/down) for section and (right/left) for
time.
