ECDIS is an "object oriented" program. Pointing the cursor at an object or
anywhere on the display and clicking the [middle] trackball button will cause a
menu or dialog box to appear. The menu will provide a list of commands
indicating actions that can be performed on the object. For example, pointing
and clicking at a marker will make the following menu appear:
Pointing and clicking in the display area (Charts object) causes the Chart
Objects dialog box to appear. It displays a list of objects located on the chart
within the area at which you pointed the cursor. You may then point and click
[Left] on each item listed (in the objects area). Information about that object is
then displayed in the Properties area of the dialog box.
Object info
The Object info window contains all information about a selected object (Buoys,
wracks or special sea areas) in the actual chart .
Some time the object window (right site) displays a text line with the indication
.txt or .tif at the end. These are special object infos. Click on this text line, an
additional info displays (.txt for text info and .tif for picture info, see
Figure: 1−23).
