Display Window

The Display window displays the datasets that are currently open in the application and selected for display. You can have one 3D display window and multiple 2D display windows open at the same time, if desired. Properties for the Display window are set using Display Window Properties.

The order in which data is visible in the Display window is controlled by the Layers window. See Layers Window.

The Display window is the only window that cannot be moved or docked.

Band tooltips

Moving your cursor over a surface or coverage in either Display window will make a tooltip box appear. This will display the name of the data source for the active band, and the value of the band at the location under the cursor. The image below shows an example of values for four of the bands in a CSAR surface.

By default, the Z band is displayed as the active band for a coverage. Additional band values can be included in the tooltip by selecting the band names in the Tooltip Bands property in the Properties window. See Properties Window for more information.

You can also set the tooltip to include source names and values for all coverages in the view, by setting the Show all visible Coverages in tooltip option in Tools > Options > Coverages to True.

This will cause all raster grids, point clouds, reference models, TINs and variable resolution surfaces that are turned on, and have data at the cursor location, to be listed in the tooltip as sources along with their band values. The example below displays these values for three different coverages.
