Starts the Navigator.
Usage
NAVIGATOR
Keywords
ConfigFile—A string containing the name of a previously saved Navigator configuration file. You can specify a filename or complete path name. If you only specify a filename, the file must be in the current working directory.
Horizontal—If this keyword is specified, the VDA Tool icons are arranged horizontally in the Navigator window.
Highres—Reconfigures the Navigator button bar to display one row of buttons. This option is only suitable for larger monitors. By default, the Navigator starts with two rows of buttons.
Lowres—This keyword has been depracated. It has no effect.
Position—Specifies in pixels, the x and y (horizontal and vertical, respectively) coordinates for the starting location of the upper-left corner of the Navigator window.
Template—A string containing the name of a template file.
Vertical—If this keyword is specified, the VDA Tool icons are arranged vertically in the Navigator window.
Discussion
By default, the Navigator displays with two rows of icons. If you wish to display a long, narrow Navigator with one row of icons, use Highres.
The Navigator combines multiple VDA Tools into a single application. The Navigator provides tools for:
*importing and exporting data
*displaying 2D plots, images, histograms, surfaces, and contour plots
*animating data
*viewing and subsetting tables of data
*saving and restoring sessions
*viewing and selecting variables
Template files are saved with the Navigator Save Template As command on the File menu. A template contains information that allows you to restore a Navigator with the customized defaults that were set when the template file was saved.
Configuration files are saved with the Navigator Save Configuration command on the File menu.
