The following pop-up menu options apply to editing elements of WarnGen, Interactive Skew-T, and any of the tools that require editing (Baselines, Points, Home, etc.).

Delete Vertex

This menu option removes the vertex where the mouse pointer was located when you opened the pop-up menu. This option is available only when a tool is displayed. This same action can be performed by clicking Mouse Button 2 on a vertex.

Move Vertex

This menu option lets you drag a vertex without pressing Mouse Button 1. The cursor's position over a vertex before the pop-up menu was invoked marks the vertex that moves. To terminate the move and fix the location, click any Mouse Button.

Move Entire Element

This menu option lets you drag an entire element without pressing Mouse Button 1. The cursor's position over an element before the pop-up menu was invoked marks the element that moves. To terminate the move and fix the location, click any Mouse Button.

Add Vertex

This menu option lets you add a vertex without pressing Mouse Button 2. The new vertex is added at the cursor location in the identified element segment. The cursor's position over a element before the pop-up menu was invoked identifies the element. When you add a vertex using the pop-up, it is movable until you click MB1.

Select Location

This menu option allows you to change the location of the selected element by clicking Mouse Button 3 on the desired location. This option is available only when you are using WarnGen or the Alert Area Editor.

Select Area

This menu option, available only when you are using the Alert Area Editor, allows you to delineate an alert area using a stretch box. The upper left corner of the box is located at the location of the cursor when the Select Area option is chosen. Stretch out the box to the desired size and press any Mouse Button to finish drawing the box.
