| <h1>Map View</h1> |
| <p>The <em>Map View</em> displays geographic images that reflect the state of |
| an active Simulation. <img src="img/mapview.png" /> |
| <p>The state information displayed in the map view directly |
| corresponds to the values updated by one of the <a |
| href="../../concepts/modelingframework.html#decorator"> Decorators</a> |
| in the Simulation. The particular <a |
| href="../../concepts/modelingframework.html#decorator"> Decorator</a> |
| is selected by a "combo box" in the lower left of the view. Each <a |
| href="../../concepts/modelingframework.html#decorator"> Decorator</a> |
| updates a number of properties (i.e., values that define the state of |
| the Simulation). The Map view can display the "relative" values of these |
| properties with different intensities/colors. The specific property is |
| selected by the combo box beneath the one that selects the <a |
| href="../../concepts/modelingframework.html#decorator"> Decorator</a>.</p> |
| <p><img src="img/mapviewcombo.jpg" /> |
| <p>The image can be panned by holding the left mouse button down and |
| dragging the cursor.</p> |
| <h2>Context Menu</h2> |
| <p>A pop-up context menu is available by right-clicking on the |
| image.</p> |
| <p> |
| <img src="img/mapviewpopup.jpg" /> |
| </p> |
| <p>There is a sub-menu for specifying the "gain factor" to use |
| when displaying values. The gain factor scales the values of the properties so that small |
| values can be visualized. <br/> |
