| VISAT Tool Bars | |
All tool bars are, like the Tool Windows, draggable and dockable. If they are not docked you can close them to get more free work space. To reactive a closed tool bar you can go the "Tool Bars" entry in the "View" menu and enable the tool bar.
VISAT commands are grouped in multiple tool bars by their purpose. Each tool bar is listed below and its commands are described briefly.
NewThe new-command allows you to create a new product. The command is enabled only if you have already opened or imported a product from which the new product can derive it's geo-coding information. The primary use of this command is to create a spectral or spatial subset of another, open product.
Open (Control-O)Opens a product stored in BEAM-DIMAP format in VISAT.
Save (Control S)Saves the currently selected product in the BEAM-DIMAP format. If the product still does not have a file location, then you are asked to specify a storage location for the product. Note that save process can be a time consuming process for huge products.
Preferences... (Alt-P)
Opens VISAT's Preferences Dialog which lets your preferred VISAT options.
Property Editor... (Alt-P)
Opens VISAT's Property Editor which can be used to edit the properties of a product, a tie-point grid or a (virtual) band.
The Module ManagerOpens the Module Manager for updating, installing and unstalling modules.
The Help ToolThe help tool brings up this BEAM online help.
Show No-Data OverlayToggles the overlay of the No-Data Overlay over the band Image View. See also No-Data Value. The No-Data overlay properties can be modified in the Preferences Dialog.
Show Geometry OverlayToggles the overlay of a geometry container over a band's Image View. See also Vector Data Management. The geometry overlay properties can be modified in the Preferences Dialog.
Show Graticule OverlayToggles the overlay of a graticule (geographic lat/lon grid) over the current image. The graticule overlay properties can be modified in the Preferences Dialog.
Show PinsToggles whether or not to display the pins defined for the current product in the current image view.
Show GCPsToggles whether or not to display the GCPs defined for the current product in the current image view.
Show World Map OverlayToggles whether or not to display a world map layer. Which kind of world map layer is displayed can be Preferences Dialog.
Information...Opens a dialog window that shows the properties of the selected band or tie-point grid and the current product.
Geo-Coding Information...Opens a dialog window that displays the geo-coding information for the product currently selected.
Statistics...Opens the Statistics dialog that displays statistical information for the selected band or tie-point grid.
Histogram...Opens the Histogram dialog that displays a configurable histogram for the selected band or tie-point grid.
Scatter Plot...Opens the Scatter Plot dialog that displays a configurable scatter plot for two selected bands or tie-point grids.
Correlative Plot...Opens the Correlative Plot dialog that displays a configurable correlative plot to display raster vs. correlative data (e.g. obtained from in-situ measurements) for distinct vertex points.
Profile Plot...Opens the Profile Plot dialog that displays a configurable profile plot which can be used to either display raster data along a transect line, or to compare raster data against correlative data along a vertex shape (e.g. representing a sequence of in-situ measurements).
Pin ManagerOpens or brings in front the Pin Manager window.
GCP ManagerOpens or brings in front the GCP Manager window.
Mask ManagerOpens or brings in front the Mask Manager window.
Layer ManagerOpens or brings in front the Layer Manager window.
Product BrowserThe Product Browser provides an overview over multiple open products within a tree view.
World MapOpens or brings in front the VISAT World Map to facilitate the location of satellite products on a virtual globe.
SpectrumOpens or brings in front a tool-window which shows you the Spectrum of the pixel where the mouse moves over.
Navigation WindowToggles the visibility of the Navigation Window.
Colour Manipulation WindowOpens or brings in front the Colour Manipulation Window used to manipulate the colours of the currently selected image view.
Pixel InformationThe Pixel Info view displays information about geophysical values, interpolated tie-points and quality flags at the same time.
Selection ToolThis tool is enabled by default; you use it to point into the image and to move the panning or zoom windows.
Range Finder ToolThe Range Finder tool lets you determine the distance between two points.
Zoom ToolClick to zoom into the image of an image view. Control-Click to zoom out. Note that this tool is independent from the zooming tools provided in the Navigation Window. Especially the Synchronisation of image views is not available here.
Panner ToolWith this tool you are able to drag the viewable area of an image view around. The effect is similar to the feature available in the Navigation Window, where the highlighted area -which marks the currently displayed portion of the image- may be dragged around. The important difference is that the Synchronisation of image views is disabled for this tool.
The Pin ToolThe pin tool is used to create a new pin and also to select an existing ones. See also Pin Management.
The GCP ToolThe GCP tool is used to create a new GCPs and also to select an existing ones. See also GCP Management.
Draw Line ToolThis tool draws a line that might be useful for profile plots. Click for the start point, drag to the end point and release the mouse button.
Draw Rectangle ToolClick for the start point, drag to the end point and release the mouse button.
Draw Ellipse ToolThe handling is similar to the rectangle tool: click for the start, drag to the end point of the boundary rectangle and release the mouse button.
Draw Polyline ToolWith this tool you are able to draw a polyline, i.e. consecutive lines, each starting at the end point of the previous line. Click for the start and for the end point, the end point will be the start point of the following line. Double-click to terminate the polyline.
Draw Polygon ToolThe handling of the polygon tool is somewhat similar to the polyline tool; except that double-clicking will close the shape (a line from the end point of the last line will be drawn to the start point of the first line). In effect, the shape defines a closed area.
