Tour Chart

The tour chart visualizes the data of a tour which is recorded by a device.

Some graphs show the recorded data and some show computed values.

The computed values depend all on the distance which have a tolerance. Distance in GPS devices have a tolerance also, therefore the computed values will never be exactly correct.

Designations

Vertical slider	slider from top to bottom
Horizontal slider	slider from left to right
Chart area	whole visible area in the tour chart view
Graph area	every displayed graph in the chart has it's own graph area
Y-axis area	area at the left and right border of the chart, in this area the y-axis units and graph titles are displayed

Graphs

The graphs are displaying different values for the tour. Graph buttons can be disabled when data are not available.

	Graph	Displayed data
	Altitude	device data
	Pulse	device data
	Speed	device data when the data source is an ergometer otherwise computed values
	Pace	computed values
	Power	when the data source is an ergometer, the power from the ergometer is displayed otherwise the power is computed and can't be very exact because the power depends on the gradient and speed and these data are also computed.
	Temperature	device data
	Gradient	computed values
	Altimeter	computed values
	Cadence	device data
	HR zones	this button can toggle the background color for the altitude and pulse graphs between the normal background color and the HR zone background colors the background style can be selected in the drop down menu of this button

Actions

Some global actions are available which are described here .

Toolbar Actions

	Show/Hide Photos	there are 3 toggle actions: photo markers are hidden photo markers are visible and photo tooltip is activated photo markers are visible and photo tooltip is deactivated
	X-Axis Time	shows time on the x-axis, when time is already displayed, this button will toggle between absolute and relative time
	X-Axis Distance	shows distance on the x-axis, when a distance is not available this action is disabled
	Toggle Mouse Wheel Mode	with the mouse wheel the chart can be zoomed or the vertical sliders can be moved The mouse wheel mode can be toggled with <Ctrl>-Doubleclick into the chart
	Fit graph to window	shows the whole tour in the chart without any restrictions (minimum heights are ignored)

Chart Options

	Chart Options	additional chart options
	Show Tour Marker	show/hide tour marker in the chart
	Show/Hide Photos	there are 3 toggle actions: photo markers are hidden photo markers are visible and photo tooltip is activated photo markers are visible and photo tooltip is deactivated
	Show values which are recorded within the breaktime	show/hide graph values which are recorded in the breaktime, these values are painted with dots outside of the graph line
	Show Start Time on X-Axis	when the x-axis shows the time of the tour, this action toggles between the absolute and relative time
	Show SRTM Data	when the tour contains GPS data, the chart displays also the SRTM elevation within the altitude graph (as red line)
	Show Value Point Tooltip	show/hide value point tooltip
	Auto-Zoom to Slider Position	when a vertical slider is moved, the chart is zoomed automatically between the vertical sliders
	Auto-Move vertical Sliders	when the chart is zoomed or panned, the vertical sliders are positioned automatically on the left and right border
	Edit Chart Preferences	edit preferences for the tour chart

Context Menu Actions

	Zoom to vertical sliders	this will zoom the chart between the vertical sliders (this behaviour was the zoom in action in MyTourbook 1.5.0 or older)
	Toggle Mouse Wheel Mode	with the mouse wheel the chart can be zoomed or the vertical sliders can be moved
	Move Sliders to Border	moves the sliders to the left and right border
	Move Left Slider here	moves the left slider to the mouse position
	Move Right Slider here	moves the right slider to the mouse position
	Create Marker	creates a marker at the vertical slider position *)
	Create Reference Tour	creates a reference tour between the 2 vertical sliders *)

*) the mouse must be positioned above a vertical slider, otherwise the action is not available

Mouse behaviour

Depending on the mouse position and the activated features, the mouse cursor shows the different behaviour for the mouse wheel and left mouse button.

	mouse wheel is in slider mode, the mouse wheel will move the active vertical slider
	mouse wheel is in zoom mode, the mouse wheel will zoom in and out the chart
	when the mouse is located in the upper or lower vertical part of the chart, the left mouse button click will move the leftmost vertical slider to the current mouse position and the vertical slider is pinned to the mouse until the mouse button is clicked again
	same behaviour as above except that the rightmost vertical slider is moved
	mouse is hovered over a vertical slider, there are 2 vertical sliders in each displayed graph when the left mouse button is clicked, the vertical slider is pinned to the mouse horizontal position until a second mouse button is clicked Hint for using Tour Chart and Map When a dragged vertical slider in the tour chart is not moving the slider in the map, ensure that the tour chart has the focus by clicking at the tour chart tab and not in the tour chart itself.
	mouse is hovered over a horizontal slider which is located at the top and bottom of a graph in the tour chart when the left mouse button is pressed and hold down, the horizontal slider can be dragged in the vertical direction

Autoscroll when tour chart is zoomed in

...

when the mouse is positioned in the zoom position marker area the chart is automatically scrolled until the left or right border of the tour is reached, this behaviour applies also when a vertical slider is dragged.

The autoscroll speed depends on the mouse horizontal position within the y-axis area.

A side effect of this behaviour is, that an animation can be done for the tour in the chart and in the map when a vertical slider is dragged, the <Home> or <End> key can restart the animation.

Mouse zoom position

When zooming the chart in or out with the mouse wheel, the horizontal position of the chart will be preserved where the mouse is located (in versions before 12.1 the last mouse double click position was preserved, this is still the behaviour in the map).

Panning the Chart

The chart can be panned in horizontal direction when the left mouse button is pressed and hold and the mouse is moved, it requires that the chart is zoomed in.

Panning in vertical direction is not possible, the vertical units are automatically adjusted when panning in horizontal direction.

Zoom & Pan Mode

In this mode the chart can be zoomed or panned with the mouse wheel. This is the default mode which can be set in the preference dialog

Interface	Description
Doubleclick	centers this position in the graph, requires that the chart is zoomed in
Mouse wheel	zoomes the chart in and out, the vertical units are adjusted automatically to fill the whole visible area with the visible graphs
Ctrl + Mouse wheel	pans the chart, this requires that the chart is zoomed
Ctrl + Shift + Mouse wheel	pans the chart with bigger steps
Ctrl + Doubleclick	switches to mouse slider mode
Mouse Thumb button	displays the whole tour in the chart

Hint: The chart is recomputed for each mouse wheel move. The performance can be improved by reducing the visible graphs in the chart and to use a small window size. The visible graphs also influence the performance, the altitude graph is faster displayed compared with the cadence graph because the cadence has more lines which needs to be drawn.

Slider Mode

In the slider mode the vertical sliders can be moved with the mouse wheel (this is the behaviour in MyTourbook 1.5.0 or older)

Interface	Description
Mouse wheel	moves active slider, the slider is moved for one data point
Ctrl + Mouse wheel	moves the slider for 10 data points
Ctrl + Shift + Mouse wheel	moves the slider for 100 data points
Shift + Mouse wheel	toggles the active slider
Doubleclick	switches to mouse mode zoom&pan and zoomes into the chart
Ctrl + Doubleclick	switches to mouse mode zoom&pan

Keyboard Navigations

The chart can be navigated with the keyboard and is wrapped at the start and end

Key	Description
Shift + Right/Left Arrow	toggle active slider
Right/Left Arrow	moves active slider to the end/start
Ctrl + Right/Left Arrow	moves active slider the the end/start for 10 data points
Ctrl + Shift + Right/Left Arrow or Page Up/Down	moves active slider the the end/start for 100 data points

Zoom Position Marker

These markers are only displayed, when the chart is zoomed in.

They show, how far the visible part of a tour (these are the graphs which are displayed in the tour chart) is panned to the right or left side. It also gives you the info, if a chart is zoomed in or not, which is very helpfull when a History Tour is displayed.

Photo Marker

A photo marker displays the number of photos at the horizontal position where photos are available within a tour.

Requirements to display photo markers in the tour chart:

or must be selected in the toolbar
a tour must be selected in a view which contains saved photos or a tour must be selected the Photos + Tours view

Photo Tooltip

When a photo marker is hovered with the mouse and this photo icon is displayed in the toolbar , a photo tool tip pops up to display all photos contained in this photo marker.
