<p>The <strong>Vector Lines</strong> panel controls how vectors are displayed.

<dt> <strong>Current:</strong></dt>
34
<dd>Shows the name(s) of all the loaded vectors. You can use this menu to
35
select a new current vector.<br><br></dd>
37
<dt> <strong>New</strong></dt>
38
<dd>Loads a new vector map.
41
<dt> <strong>Delete</strong></dt>
42
<dd>Deletes (unload) the current vector.
45
<dt> <strong>Line Width</strong></dt>
46
<dd>Sets the width (in pixels) of the current vector.
49
<dt> <strong>Color</strong></dt>
50
<dd>Sets the color of the current vector.
56
You can display a vector flat at a specified elevation or drape it over a
57
surface(s) at a specified height.
58
Use the <strong>Vect. Z</strong> scale to set the flat elevation or the drape
59
height above the surface(s).
63
<dt> <strong>Display Flat</strong></dt>
64
<dd>Draws the current vector on a flat plane at the elevation set by
65
the <strong>Vect. Z</strong> scale.
68
<dt> <strong>Display on surface(s)</strong></dt>
69
<dd>Draws the current vector draped over the selected surface(s) at the
71
<strong>Vect. Z</strong> scale.
72
A list of available surfaces appears directly below <strong>Display on
73
surface(s)</strong>. Use this list to select the surfaces for draping
75
For display purposes, it is better to set the height slightly above the
76
surface. If the height is set at zero, portions of the vector may disappear
81
<dt> <strong>Vect. Z</strong></dt>
82
<dd>Sets either the flat elevation or the drape height above the surface(s)
