Gautoedit will always show the basic data plot, which contains absolute
velocity, percent good, ship's speed and "jitter". ("Jitter" is a measure
of the amount of smoothing applied to the data and is an indication of either
rapidly changing currents or dubious navigational input.) The default is
to apply the current editing parameters to the plot.
Some of these buttons control whether a given type of plot is shown. Those
are:
(1) topography with a cruisetrack and vectors
(2) amplitude and velocity in the forward direction (when underway)
(3) bias parameter and error velocity
(4) You can also choose whether to use the same figures over again (figures
500-504, if you plot everything), or whether you want new figures ("plot in
new figures")
You can override the default (of applying all flags to the figure) by:
(5) turning off the profile flags (i.e. use the data in the database without
applying any of the flags in the database)
(6) turning off the autoedit editing parameters (i.e. do not show the
effect of these editing parameters)
