Window title:
DsTool: 2-D View #n
Function:
The 2-D View window graphically displays computed data.
Description:
The 2-D View window is opened by selecting the 2-D View option from the Panels menu button located in the Command window. Unlike the 1-D View window, a 2-D View window can always be opened, regardless of the number of phase space variables of the system. The user can select the plotting coordinates from all available variables, parameters, and auxiliary functions for the current dynamical system. Additionally, the range of each axis is displayed, and the size of the window and various other plotting options may be specified. Multiple 2-D View windows can be open simultaneously, and each may plot with different coordinates.

When the window is open, data is displayed as it is computed. When the user resizes the window, the current variable ranges are maintained, but the scaling is adjusted accordingly.

As the user moves the mouse in the drawing canvas, the current coordinates of the mouse position are displayed in the window's panel. This region is blank when the mouse does not point into the canvas. Mouse events in the main drawing canvas have the following effects:
