The GUI MOVEMENT Command

The MOVEMENT command allows easy ``movement'' within a large image. i.e. The user can zoom-in to a small sub-region of the image, and change the position of the sub-region to move around the image. This is very useful for examining large images. This menu is also obtained by using the IMAGE command from with the ``KEYBOARD'' menu. The MOVEMENT sub-menu is shown in Figure 3, Page [*].

The commands available are:

EXIT: Exit sub-menu and return to calling menu.

L-TOP: Move to the top left-hand corner of the current defined data image.

TOP: Move to top of the current defined data image.

R-TOP: Move to the top right-hand corner of the current defined data image.

OPTIONS: Enter the graphical style control OPTIONS sub-menu (see Section 5.5, Page [*]).

L-UP: Move left and upwards. The centre of the displayed sub-region will move to the top left-hand corner, provided the data is defined.
