8.2 Areas
Editing of areas is following the same basic princi-
ples as shown above for Symbols (graphical point
objects).
In the selection list under Display, User Sym open
the list of available areas by a click on the (+)
symbol.
Select if you want to create a Danger highlight or
a User’s feature by a click on the entry in the
selection list.
Danger Highlight
A Danger Highlight is a red coloured filled area which can be monitored by the ECDIS’ chart monitoring
and the route monitoring functions.
Click on the Danger highlight icon first, and then click with DO in the PPI/Chart Area to set the first
vertex of the area. The moving cursor is then followed by a connection line to the previously set graphical
point of the area. In this way an area with 3 vertex points as a minimum can be set. There is no upper
limitation for the number of points which can be created for one and the same area.
To close the area after the last vertex is set,
- click into the last connection line with MORE or
- set the last point directly on the first one
to end the edit mode and to complete (close) the created area.
