The Plot Panel

The Plot Panel provides a set of sliders to control contour levels of 2D displays and x and y offsets of 1D spectra. It does not give you special control of how your spectrum is plotted on paper beyond its appearance on the screen. In that sense, NVJ is very WYSIWYG, which is good!

NLvls

Select a value using the slider to specify the maximum number of contours to be drawn.

CLM

Select a value using the slider to specify the ratio between subsequent contour levels. For example, a value of 1.5 means that each contour will be 1.5 times as high as the previous one.

Scale1D

Type an entry in this box to specify the scale value at which 1D slices are to be drawn. This value is multiplied by a global scale parameter (set in the Prefs dialog, default 1e6) to generate the actual value that is used. The up and down arrows provide a convenient means to increment or decrement the scale level. Clicking on the up arrow raises the scale level to a value equal to the current level times the current value of the multiplier (the value in the next field). Clicking on the down arrow lowers the scale level to a value equal to the current level divided by the current value of the multiplier (the value in the next field). Whenever the Levelvalue is changed the Scalevalue is changed to be 10.0 times the Levelvalue as this generally provides good results.

Xoffset

Select a value using the slider to specify the offset position(from 0.0 to 1.0) at which X (and Z) slices are drawn. be drawn.

Yoffset

Select a value using the slider to specify the offset position(from 0.0 to 1.0) at which Y (and Z2) slices are drawn. be drawn.

Below, you see the effects of changing the settings the CLM and NLvls settings on 2D peaks.
