New Features
The Mouse Draw button will now open a menu allowing users to select from Pen, Arrow, Text, or Erase tools; the color and width settings have also moved to this new menu:
Arrow: Draw freely as your normally would, and when you release the mouse button an arrowhead will be drawn
Text: Click where you’d like the text to begin on the left (it will be vertically centered), enter text into the prompt, and your text will appear
Erase: Drag the mouse across the drawing you’d like to erase (Tip: increasing the drawing width will likely make this feature easier-to-use)
An example showing each new tool
New colorbars for a verity of products have been added
Bugfixes
The “Switch to km/mi.” button is now visible if the user is zoomed out but has activated Query Lat/Lon so distance measurements can be toggled
If the sector changes and x/y values result in imagery that is entirely offscreen (e.g. manually changing the url from full_disk to mesoscale_01), SLIDER will return the imagery to its default position for that sector
