Toolbar Summary - ViewSlice

The ViewSlice toolbar provides access to a range of different functions and utilities. Some of these functions are dependent on the current context while some are not. Table 1 shows a summary of each function.

During animations it is usually better to fix the Y axis (elevations). The default is automatic scaling. During an animation the water surface elevation changes due to tides and/or storm events. If the axis is set to automatic scaling the plot appears to jump around due to different scaling at different times. This problem is solved by setting the elevation minimum and maximums to an appropriate range.
