-====== T-series Manual ======
-=====MENUBAR=====
-====File====
-  * **Print:** Print the current diagram to a printer or postscript-file
-  * **Save Image:** Save the current diagram as an png-image.
-  * **Change Filter** Create a local filter for positions </a>
-  * **Change Observation Filter** Create a filter for observations parameters. Marked parameters will not be requested and are excluded from the view
-  * **Change Fimex Filter** Create a filter for FIMEX parameters. Marked parameters will not be interpolated and are excluded from the view
-  * **Change Observation start time** The observation view reads the last 300 hours of observations by default. Here one can choose a fixed start date for the observations. The start date will not be logged. At restart - the default applies.
-  * **Quit** quits the program and writes configuration information to ~/.tseries/tseries.conf
-====Preferences====
-  * **Reset Preferences** reset the original preferences (including window size/position) from the configuration
-  * **Save Preferences** save the current preferences to the conf-file.
-  * **Save at exit** Saves the current preferences automatically at exit.
-  * **Show positions (DIANA)** Show the position names in //Diana// when //Tseries// is connected to //Diana//
-  * **Show active position** Show the name of the current position in //Diana//
-  * **Show icons (DIANA)** Show icons for all positions in the //Diana// map
-  * **Show Timemark** Show a grey line marking now
-  * **Show Gridlines** Switch the Grid in the diagram on and off
-  * **Lat/Lon in decimal** represent latitude and longitude as float instead of Degrees and Minutes
-  * **Lock hours to model** Change length of the diagram when changing the model
-  * **Font** Change the GUI font
-  * **Language** Change language for the GUI
-====Help====
-  * **Manual** shows this page
-=====BOTTOM TOOLBAR=====
-The Bottom Toolbar is dynamically connected to the sidebar. The Toolbar is altered when the
-sidebar VIEW is changed.
-  * **enable/disable observation** Showing observations (if available) //ALL VIEWS//
-  * **Position filter** apply a filter on the position list, only the positions that exist in the datasource and in the filterlist will be shown. //STATION VIEW//
-  * **Show Position(DIANA)** shows a big red cross in the //Diana// Map over the current position  //DATABASE AND STATION VIEW//
-  * **Connect** Connect to //Diana// //ALL VIEWS//
-  * **New directory** Add a new directory for locally stored positions //DATABASE AND FIMEX VIEW//
-  * **Cache query** Send a query to the database to cache in the dataset (enabled if the request is too slow) //DATABASE VIEW//
-  * **Record** record positions while clicking at the diana Map //FIELDS VIEW//
-=====DATAVIEWS=====
-The Sidebar contains the data control interface. There are three different VIEWS to
-access data **stations**, **database** and **Fields.
-At the top of the statusbar the user can choose the datainput by the
-  * Diagramtype (Meteogram/Marinogram etc)
-  * The Model (ECMWF, Arome etc)
-  * The runtime of the model
-The timeframe of the diagram can be selected by the start, and hours sliders at
-the bottom. The 0 hour refers to the runtime of the model. In case there are observations
-available, the time slider maybe drawn to a negative value.
-The label under the time sliders displays information on the closest observation site, above
-the sliders is information (coordinates) on the current position.
-====Stations====
-In this view, //Tseries// shows preprocessed point data from hdf or ASCII files.
-The Station lists are extracted from the current datafile and static for that file.
-==== Database ====
-Since Version 5.0, Tseries is able to connect to a WDB database to retrieve data interpolated on demand.
-The Database-Tab title is similar to the database-server which is used in the connection.
-The user interface is coordinate based, you can choose coordinates
-by the lat/lon sliders, write them directly into the Lat/Lon text-fields
-or click into any given place in the diana map to get the diagram for
-the specific coordinates.
-All the modelnames,times and coordinate borders are selected from the database.
-When the database connection fails, the database-tab is disabled.
-=== Cache ===
-The database interpolates data on demand, for this, the server
-has to read all the fields necessary to generate your diagram. If this
-is to slow (default > 1.5s) the cache button becomes active. By pushing
-the cache button, a request is send to the server to take all needed fields
-into memory - speeding up the interpolation. The caching process
-is running in background and takes up to one minute. It is finished when the
-red blinking icon vanishes.
-===Bookmarks===
-In the Database View, stations are represented as Bookmarks (name and coordinated)
-Additionally to common bookmarks, the user can define a set of local bookmarks and group them
-into directories. First, create a new folder by the "+" button and rename the folder.
-Now drag positions from the other folders there, positions in the record folder can be dragged in as well.
-Rename the bookmarks appropriately. There are some distributed folders with given positions.
-These can be edited, but will be restored after restart. Private created folders
-will be stored locally and saved at exit
-All positions can be dragged into trash for removal. Empty private folders are
-automatically removed after restart.
-====Fimex====
-Since version 6.0 Tseries is able to interpolate data from fields, using the //Fimex// library.
-=====DIANA CONNECTION=====
-T-series can be connected to the //Diana// meteorological workstation.
-The connection is controlled by an external application (coserver) which is socket based.
-Coserver starts automatically when requested. The user can connect T-series and DIANA by
-activate the //connect// button in both applications. All positions from //Tseries// are send to
-//Diana// and will be displayed in the map. when a position is choosen in //Diana//, //Tseries// will display
-the requested Diagram for that position.
