SWIT

The SWIT tool will only be enabled if you have the appropriate data contained within the connected workspace.

How to Use

  1. Click the SWIT button from the Getech Globe toolbar
  2. If the data frame does not already have the ESRI Countries (Line) layer loaded, you will be prompted to load this layer. This can be useful if you need a spatial context to assist you with choosing an area to query for analysis (especially if starting with a blank data frame).

  3. You may right-click on the map and enter the exact coordinates you want to query – see the example below:
    Enter coordinates
  4. Or you may left-click on the map and a small blue cross will appear where you have clicked – see the example below:
    X Marks The Spot
  5. Whist the tool is calculating the results you will be presented with a "busy" message.

  6. When the analysis has finished, the dialog screen will change, displaying a chronostratigraphy chart and global temperature and height graphs showing changes through time reading downwards. There is also a table of results that can be better seen if you expand the size of the dialog screen.
