EXPLANATION

This is the main window of the COSMOS browser; it is used to browse various geographical information.

Browsing Panel

When the Browsing panel is in focus, you can move the displayed map with the mouse. If you click the Grab button ( colored), you can click and drag the mouse on the map to move the view up/down or left/right. If you click the Rotate button, you can move the mouse to rotate the map.

Click the Zoom In button to view a smaller area on the map in greater detail. Click the Zoom Out button to view a larger area of the map in less detail. The left and right History buttons are used to go to map locations you have visited before. Click the left button to go back to previous map locations visited in the past. If you go too far back, you can click the right button to go forward.

Warp Box

Use the Warp box to jump to a desired URL, by entering the coordinates and clicking the Warp button. At this point, the search conditions are not changed. You can also warp to coordinate URLs using the Warp menu. Please refer to Menu (Warp Menu)for more information.

Various convenient advanced features are available when entering URLs in the Warp box.

Entry Matching with URL Condition Settings
For example, enclose the last part with [] as follows.
xlp://gbs.ur-plaza.osaka-cu.ac.jp:8080/others/noaa/[type2/image.crd]
This instructs the viewer to set the URL search conditions to the following character string:
xlp://gbs.ur-plaza.osaka-cu.ac.jp:8080/others/noaa/
and then warp to the following location:
xlp://gbs.ur-plaza.osaka-cu.ac.jp:8080/others/noaa/type2/image.crd
As a result, all coordinates under the /others/noaa/ directory are displayed.

Information Display Panel

If you place the mouse on the map, this panel displays the information at the mouse position. If you want to display the information in a WWW browser, click the Launch W3 Browser button. A WWW browser starts up and displays the information.

@Search Conditions@ Tab

The Search Conditions tab is used to set criteria for searching for maps that can be downloaded via the network. In the same panel, the Displayed Coordinates tab is shown as well. These tabs have the same structure as the Navigation Condition panel in the Home tab of the Preferences dialog displayed by clicking the Preferences menu item in the File menu of the browser window as well as Warp Menu Edit window . It allows changing search conditions while browsing as well. Please refer to Window (Search Conditions Tab)Window (Query Edit Window (Floating))for how to change conditions.

Displayed Coordinates Tab

The Displayed Coordinates tab lists layers of maps currently displayed. Click the triangle button to display the coordinates of the current mouse position.

In general, coordinate systems matching the search conditions set in the @Search Conditions tab are selected from the network, and the targets selected to be displayed are listed in the Displayed Coordinates tab. The matching targets are overlapped and displayed in the Browsing section.
