8.1.1 Map window
The map window (Figure 8-1) displays all currently loaded maps and allows interaction
with station and solution information. Data in the map window are displayed in four
main panels, and in a status bar at the bottom of the window:
Š Map panel – Displays all currently loaded maps, stations, and various trace data
indicators.
Š Depth slider panel – Displays depth information on the current solution.
Š Summary panel – Displays information about a station or epicentre when the
mouse pointer is moved over the station or epicentre on the map.
Š Legend panel – Displays legend information on the visuals and data currently displayed on the map, as defined by the data settings. (See Section 8.5.2, “Customise
the seismic event display,” on page 108.)
Š Location bar – Displays the longitude and latitude under the mouse pointer.
The Map panel displays event data. The three additional panels—Depth slider, Legend,
and Summary—support interpretation of the map and provide utilities for refining a
location calculation. Menus and toolbars provide additional options for data settings,
and tools for working with solutions.
