GMS:2D Scatter Point Tool Palette

The following tools are active in the dynamic portion of the Tool Palette whenever the 2D Scatter Point Module is active. Only one tool is active at any given time. The action that takes place when the user clicks in the Graphics Window with the cursor depends on the current tool. The table below describes the tools in the 2D Scatter Set tool palette.

Tool	Tool Name	Description
File:Tool SelectVertices.GIF	Select Scatter Point	The Select Scatter Point tool is used to select individual scatter points for editing using the Edit Window. Scatter points can also be dragged with the mouse. Scatter points can be deleted. With extremely large sets of scatter points, it may become difficult to identify a scatter point with a particular ID, even if the scatter point IDs are being displayed. In such cases, the Find Point command in the Scatter Points menu can be used to quickly locate a point. The command prompts the user for the ID of the desired point and the point is selected.
File:Tool SelectScatterSet.GIF	Select Scatter Point Set	The Select Scatter Point Set tool is used to select entire scatter point sets for deletion or to designate the active scatter point set. When this tool is active, an icon appears at the centroid of the set for each of the scatter point sets. A scatter point set is selected by selecting the icon for the set.
File:Tool CreateVertices.GIF	Create Scatter Point	This tool is used to interactively create scatter points by clicking in the GMS graphics window.
