Chart Toolbar
The standard Chart Toolbar contains buttons which toggle display data on/off, according to the installed modules. The
presence of a button indicates that the specific module is installed.
By default the Chart palette appears along the top of the MaxSea screen. Use the customizing bar to move it, then click
and drag to detach from the menu.
There are two types of buttons in the Chart Toolbar:
• Simple Buttons which allow direct access to a specific function.
• Pull-down Menu Buttons allow choice between items according to the selected function.
If a button is shaded red, it means that the button is active and its corresponding layer will be shown on the chart.

the corresponding module is not available in the software. To get more information, please contact your
