XPLOT is an X Window System-based program for displaying and selecting AVHRR scenes for acquisition.

XPLOT uses the concepts "current scene" and "group of scenes".
The main panel contains five main areas:
The Review Scheduled Passes option in the File menu allows you to review all the scenes that have been scheduled from all sources thus far in the session, with the option of deleting them before the master schedule on the acquisition system is updated. When reviewing, the scrollable scene list is cleared and refilled with the scene IDs of scheduled passes. Any scenes that were previously displayed in the scene list, if not already scheduled, will be lost.
A "dump" of the current scene may be created by selecting Dump window from the File menu. This will create a PostScript file in in your current working directory, named "sceneid.ps", containing a plot of the current scene. If the scene is GAC, the whole world will be output since most GAC scenes are close to a full orbit of the earth. If the scene is LAC or HRPT, only the immediate area around the scene is displayed. Here is an example of a scene plot:
To exit XPLOT, select the Exit option in the File menu. Any scenes in the current scene group will be lost unless they have been marked as scheduled. All scheduled scenes will be saved in the add.sch file in your current directory. If you initiated XPLOT by running XSCHED, after you exit XPLOT, XSCHED will print any reports and/or pass plots of scenes created by XPLOT, and will send schedule updates to the acquisition system. If XPLOT was run by itself, reports, plots, and the schedule update file will remain in your current directory. If an add.sch file already exists in the current directory, it will be overwritten when XPLOT terminates.
