4. To add points to a new track:
a. Select a product for tracking.
For example, if you want to track the most severe thunderstorms, choose VIL since it
is a good indicator of storm severity and tends to be persistent.
b. Browse through the images to select a feature, place and click the cursor on the
feature.
A track point appears along with text to indicate the time of the point.
The color of the track point is in a special highlight color to indicate that it
corresponds to the displayed image.
c. If you do not like the position of the track point, click again to move the cursor to a
new position.
Drag the point to where you want it, and release.
d. Continue browsing the images and adding track points.
To avoid crowding the track points, skip a few images. You do not need a point for
every image.
In track mode, use the mouse to add track points and the left/right arrow keys for
browsing.
5. To delete a track point:
a. Select Action > Delete.
b. Select the track point that you want to remove.
Keep pressing the mouse button to highlight the point to be deleted. This is helpful
when you want to delete a track point that is close to other track points.
