The left mouse button controls the creation and manipulation of region markers or cursors. (See SAOtng Regions for more information.)

• Set Marker Shape: the following region types are supported:
  • circle
  • ellipse
  • line
  • polygon
  • point
  • rectangle

  When a marker type of selected, new markers of that type can be created using the left mouse button. The current default marker type is displayed below the menu.

• Set Marker Shape: set the default color of the "include" markers. (This needs more thought!)

• Display File Browser: bring up the XDir program and change the template filter to "*.reg" (or "*.mrk" for JPL). Double click on an entry to have the markers contained in that file loaded.

• Save Markers: Brings up a dialog box into which an output region file can be entered. The regions displayed in the current frame are saved (zoom 1 coordinates).

• Load Markers: Brings up a dialog box into which an input region file can be entered. The markers in this file will be loaded into the current frame.

• List Markers: list the regions (using zoom 1 coordinates) in the current frame. The display is created in the console window.

• Delete Markers: delete all markers in this frame
