Re: your message [IDV perspective toolbar]

The icons you refer to, in the upper left of the
display area, are the Perspective Toolbar.
It is described in the User's Guide in the IDV, section
Main Menu and other General Controls -> Perspective Toolbar,
and online at 
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/metapps/idv_help/IDV_generalcontrols.html#viewpointtoolbar
The icons of the perspective toolbar change the point
of view of the display, not the level of a contour plot, for example.

The User's Guide says:
"The Perspective Toolbar allows you to quickly switch the point of view to any
of six choices, including from overhead (the same as
you see in a new display), from below, and from north, east, south or west. 
The buttons show the side of the point of view looking into 
the 3D display volume. Click on any of the buttons to change the point 
of view. The top button for overhead is also useful if the display
is in a confusing state and you want to get oriented. "

Use the Level selector menu in a display control to change
the level of a display.

The two attached displays show (FYI) that a "mis-alignment" may be 
happening for the color contour.... When the "top" icon is clicked, the 
contour plane aligns itself with the bottom (where the map is) and when 
the "bottom" icon is clicked, the contour plane goes to the top and the 
map is turned "backwards".... 

Thanks,

FYI, I've attached a "snapshot" of  a condition where the IDV windows 
"disappear" when the Omni-Control Switch is selected and the attached 
document shows an example of this problem... 

Thanks,
