The first button corresponds to displayed graphs. Each Waterfall windows may displays up to 4 different graphs. It is a multi-action button.




The Waterfall window is composed of 4 main areas:
[[File:waterfall_group_2022.PNG|300px]]


* [[Image:Reports_Tools_Ribbons_471.png]]3D only:  Shows the 3D graph only. This graph can be a 3D plot or a color map.
{|border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" width="100%" align="center"
* [[Image:Reports_Tools_Ribbons_472.png]]X/Y only:  Shows the X/Y extraction graph only. This graph contains the spectra at the cursor position and the X/Y sections.
|-valign="top"
* [[Image:Reports_Tools_Ribbons_473.png]]Y/Z only: Shows the Y/Z extraction graph only. This graph contains the time (or ref) profile at the cursor position and the Y/Z sections.
|[[File:display_waterfall_sections.PNG|50px]]
* [[Image:Reports_Tools_Ribbons_474.png]] Extraction only: Shows the Order/frequency extraction graph only. This graph contains the order/frequency profile at the cursor position and the extraction sections.
| '''Display Waterfall sections''': This multi-action button enables selecting the areas of the Waterfall window to be displayed. The Waterfall window is composed of 4 main areas:<br><br>
* [[Image:Reports_Tools_Ribbons_475.png]] All graphs:  Shows all the graphs in a matrix.

Cursors give information about the displayed Waterfall trace (current X, Y and Z coordinates are available from the ''Infotrace'').

|'''3D perspective''':  Plot the spectra (or trigger blocks) in a true 3D space, taking in account the perspective. The global orientation of the gathered spectra can be changed using the rotate button. This type of view allows looking at the waterfall from any side.


Move the cursors either by using the drag & drop in the 3D view or by using the arrow pad of the keyboard (the cursor mode [[Image:Usersmanual_171.png]] must be selected).

|'''3D Isometric''':  Plot the spectra (or trigger blocks) along a Z axis with the same scale whatever is the position. The Z axis angle is modified by the rotate button.

|'''Frequency/time color map''': Plot the spectra (or trigger blocks) on 2D map with the color representing the point amplitude. This plot shows the Frequency (Y) Vs Time (X) arrangement.
