Vector Charts

The Vector Charts options allow users to configure common settings related to the Vector Chart display.

• Preset: Allows the user to manage vector chart presets that captures all the settings of this page. Various presets (with independent vector chart settings) can be created and recalled from any plotter. Just note that the Safety Depths will be shared across all the presets for safety reason.

Appearance

• Color Theme: Determines the color palette (or "theme") used to render the Vector Charts.

• Style: Selects the symbol representation (for buoys) to either use the simplified style (common on ECDIS) or the paper chart style.

• Land Features: Selects to turn ON or OFF the land features of the Vector charts.

• Chart Object Size: Adjusts the size of the vector charts object icons (buoys, wrecks,...) and text displayed on the screen.

Safety Depths

• Shallow/Safety/Deep Water: These parameters are used to color the various depth area of the Vector Chart. The transition between colors is based upon the depth contour lines of the vector chart. Note that if there is no contour line available on the vector chart corresponding to the exact value you selected, the color transition will occur at the next deepest (safer) contour line available.

Layers

In addition to these screen rendering parameters, the Vector Chart Menu allows you to turn ON or OFF the display of specific object (such as Buoy Numbers or Light Description).
