View: 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 has a tolerance as described here. Distance in GPS devices have also a tolerance, therefore the computed values will never be exactly correct.

Graphs

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

	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

Actions

Some of the actions which can be executed, are described here.

Toolbar Actions

	X-Axis Distance	shows the distance on the x-axis, when a distance is not available this action will be disabled
	X-Axis Time	shows the time on the x-axis
	Toggle Mouse Wheel Mode	with the mouse wheel the chart can be zoomed or the vertical sliders can be moved
	Fit graph to window	shows the whole tour in the chart without any restrictions (minimum heights are ignored)

	Chart Options
	...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)
	...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

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 disabled

Panning the Chart

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

Panning in vertical direction is not possible but the vertical units are automatically adjusted when panning in horizontal direction. This behaviour will fill the visible area of the chart with the graph and is more comfortable than panning in vertical direction and adjusting the vertical units manually.

Mouse Wheel Modes

The mouse wheel has 2 different modes which can be toggled with the action or with Ctrl+Doubleclick

	mouse wheel is in slider mode
	mouse wheel is in zoom mode

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

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)

Keyboard Navigations

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