Extra Az Ticks:
Enabling this option will show some extra
Azimuth ticks/axes on the polar graph at 30° intervals.
●
Colours:
These options allow you to change all colours used in the
polar view. You can pick a colour using a colour selector by clicking
on the button that show the coloured rectangle. Note that the
colours are specified using their red, green, and blue components
and
an additional alpha channel. The alpha channel determines the
transparency of the colour. The higher the value the less transparent
is the colour. Colours with an alpha value of 0 will be completely
transparent, that is invisible! Colours which are very transparent
may not be clearly visible on the colour picker button as is the case
for the default Axes/Circles colour. Following colours can be set:
○
Background:
The background colour.
○
Axes/Circles:
This colour is used to draw the azimuth axes and
the elevation circles.
○
Tick Labels:
The colour used for the tick label, e.g. N, W, S, and
E.
○
Satellite:
The colour of the satellites and their labels.
○
Selected Sat.:
The colour of the selected satellite and its label.
○
Sky Track:
The colour used to draw the sky track of a satellite.
○

The colour used for the additional information, e.g.
Next Event.
●
Miscellaneous:
○
Show the sky tracks automatically:
If you enable this check
box the polar view will display the sky tracks for satellites as soon
as they come in range. This means that you don't have to right
click then select sky Track for each satellite. You can still hide the
sky tracks manually.
There is no support to Save/Load colour schemes, nor is there any
possibility to preview you changes. Should you end up with a bad colour
scheme, you can always reset the settings to either the global defaults or
the built-in factory settings. You can do that using the
Reset
button located
at the bottom of the page.
4.2.4 The Single-Satellite View
The single-satellite view is a simple table showing details of one satellite at
a time. Figure 4.5 shows a screen capture of the single-satellite view. Of
course, you can pick any satellite that is associated to the parent module
via the
Select Satellite
menu item in the single-satellite pop-up menu. You
can access the pop-up menu by clicking on the small
V
icon located on the
left side of the satellite name.
The single-satellite view is practically a miniature version of the list view; it
can display the same data as the list view but for only one satellite at a
time. Moreover, the single-satellite view displays the data vertically and is
