Adjusting Views
Setting Up the Precip Type Background
While your precipitation type map is set up for you
upon delivery, you may have to adjust it during
troubleshooting procedures. To open the Precip
Type Setup menu, select Setup > Data > Precip
Type Map. The only items you should change are
the Line Width and Fill Colors settings.
The Line Width text box lets you set the width (in
pixels) of the boundary lines you draw between
precipitation types.
The Fill Colors commands open the Edit Color menu, which lets you set the fill colors for rain,
freezing rain, and snow. Click OK to save the color setting and to return to the Precip Type
Setup menu. Upon completion, click OK to save your changes and to close the Precip Type
Setup menu.
3.5.18 Saving the Current View as a Bitmap
A fast way to save the current view along with its weather and other data as a bitmap is to use the
Screen Grab Utility. The process for saving a
bitmap in this manner is as follows:
1. Select Tools-2 > Screen Grab Utility to
open the Screen Grab Utility menu.
2. Specify the filename path in which the screen
grab will reside in the Destination path
textbox.
3. Choose a filename for the bitmap in the Base
filename textbox.
4. Verify that the Counter Value textbox contains a 1 if you are using a new filename for these
bitmaps, or that it is at the desired number if you are using the same filename as you
previously have used. The Full Filename box should now list the path you want for the
bitmap.
5. Click Grab to save the bitmap. The counter value will increment by one.
Exit closes the screen grab utility.
3.5.19 Printing the Current View
To quickly print out the currently displayed view, select the File > Print command. The view
will print to the designated printer for your FasTrac Millennium computer, and a message will
appear indicating a successful print operation.
