Now you can see that the ETOPO2 plug-in bathymetry that we included during setup is available. No choice appears in the FILE selection space.ĩ. Change BATHYMETRY from NO BATHYMETRY to FILE. Then draw it over the map to where you want to end the section.ħ. Click your cursor at the point where you want to begin the section. You will 'draw' the section spine on this map, with your cursor.Ħ. Right-click on the small station map, and select MANAGE SECTION > DEFINE SECTIONĥ. This initial window appears, telling you that the 'section' must be defined first.Ĥ. Selecte VIEW > LAYOUT TEMPLATE > 1 SECTION WINDOWģ.

You should see something like this in ODV, after the previous exercise.Ģ. A section plot is a vertical 'slice' through the ocean, along an alignment that is often - but not necessarily - a straight line, portraying the vertical structure of a selected property along the alignment.Ģ. Preliminary Reading (in OceanTeacher, unless otherwise indicated):ġ. The geometry of the section itself is saved in a special ODV 'section' file, as well as the overall graphic in an ODV 'view'.
