(A Quick Explanation of How To Use Tracking The Eye)

Tracking The Eye is an easy to use Storm Tracking Map.  With Tracking The Eye you will be able to take the coordinates that are broadcasted over the television or radio and put them in a new Tracking The Eye document.  So instead of just keeping paper maps you can have all your storms on the computer with the option of printing a map at any time.

Getting Help On A Button Or Item To See Its Function:

Use the button shown above to get help on any button or any item in Tracking The Eye.  To use it first

choose this button, after your cursor changes point to any button or item you want help on.

Use this to get an explanation of other buttons on the toolbar not listed on this document.

Opening An Existing Storm:

Use the button shown above to open an existing storm. Then choose one of the storms listed in the dialog box and press OK.  You should now see the storm on the map.  At this point you can press any of the buttons on the Toolbar.

Opening The Storm Information Box:

Use the button shown above to open the Storm Information dialog box.  This is probably the single most important dialog box in Tracking The Eye.  This Box is where you add, delete or update all Storm Information.  You can step to any coordinate by pressing the buttons PREV COORDINATE or NEXT COORDINATE.  At each coordinate you can modify any existing information.  When the next broadcast is announced on the television of a new storm location you will need to add a new coordinate to your storm.  To do this press NEW COORDINATE to enter the new information about the storm you are tracking.  After you are done press THE OK button to see your map get updated.

Note: Clicking Anywhere On The Map With Left Mouse Button Also Starts The Storm Information Box

To Move and Animate your Storm:

You can use these buttons to step through the coordinates of the storm while watching the symbol move.  With these buttons you will be able to see the history information of the storm on the status bar at the bottom of the window.   The information includes latitude, longitude, date & time.

To Print Your Storm:

Use the button shown above to print the storm at any time.

To Begin Tracking A New Storm:

Use the button shown above to start tracking a new storm.   When you press this button you will get a new map with no storm symbol on it.  You must now enter the NEW COORDINATE for this storm.  To Accomplish this use the Storm Information Box as discussed in the paragraph above.  The Storm Information Box opens with all fields at 0,  It has automatically gone into the NEW COORDINATE mode because no coordinates exist at this time.  Input the first coordinate now.   After you have filled in all the fields you can press OK to see the storm move to that position or press NEW COORDINATE to add a second, third, forth, etc. coordinate.

To Save Your Storm:

Use the button shown above to save any updated information about your storm.  Saving the information makes it possible for you to open the storm the next day to add new information.

Note: Always make the filename you are the saving the same as the storm you are tracking.


Read Me (Slower Computers)

If the USA map is regenerating two slow for you put the map in SCROLL Mode. Scrolling regeneration is much faster than Shrink & Grow but you may not be able to see the entire map at once.  If you want speed thats how to get it.

The Date and Time that you enter in the Information Dialog Box is how the coordinates get sorted.  For example, If the last coordinate you enter you change the date and/or time to be less than all the other coordinates then the next time you press OK, Next, Prev, First or Last that coordinate gets sorted to the front of the list.  There can not ever be two coordinates with the same Date & Time if there are you will get an error message telling you to change the Data making one unique because Tracking The Eye can not sort these coordinates if it does not know which one comes first.

The Error Message will read as follows:

ERROR:

 There is another coordinate information record

 with the same Date & Time as this one. The Date & Time

 is how Tracking The Eye determines which coordinate will be

 first and which will be next.  The combination of these

 two fields must be unique.  Please make the combination

 of the Date & Time to be at least one minute apart this will

 insure Tracking The Eye which coordinate comes first or next.

If your application supports multiple document types and you want to have a distinct help topic for each, then use the help context i.d. generated by running the MAKEHELP.BAT file produced by AppWizard.  Alternatively, run MAKEHM as follows:

makehm IDR_HIDR_,0x2000 resource.h

If the IDR_ symbol for one of your document types is, for example, IDR_CHARTTYPE, then the help context i.d. generated by MAKEHM will be HIDR_CHARTTYPE.

Note, AppWizard defines the HIDR_DOC1TYPE help context i.d. used by this help topic for the first document type supported by your application.  AppWizard produces an alias in the .HPJ file for your application, mapping HIDR_DOC1TYPE to the HIDR_ produced by MAKEHM for that document type. >>
