> Don and/or Jeff, > > I have a new colleague (a physical oceanographer) who is rapidly > getting up to speed with the IDV, pretty much on his own.

These are visually distracting > (and of course, not functional) and he'd prefer that they not be > included in the "View and Legend" capture. (I can imagine that getting > rid of the left-side toolbar might be doable, but the stuff across the > top aligns with the "Legend" header, which presumably makes them > harder to get rid of.) > > Examples are attached. > > Can anything be done about this? > Hi Dave, Due to the window layout we really cannot capture just the view and the legend without capturing the toolbar and the menus. > (What he'd really like is to be able to put the color bars for color- > filled and color-shaded plots within the view itself, along with the > labels. I sort of recall being able to do this at some point, say by > putting the color bar vertically along one side of the view window. Or > am I thinking about a different software package?) > You can turn on the color scales for the display from the display's properties dialog: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/docs/userguide/controls/index.html#properties > (I just noticed another oddity. When I select View > Full Screen, and > then Capture > Image > View and Legend, only the view is captured. > Seems as if the "View and Legend", and presumably "Full window", > options shouldn't be available when trying to Capture > Image while in > Full window mode.) > > I guess so. -Jeff Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: IWN-509507 Department: Support IDV Priority: Normal Status: Closed
