: The B-mode tab has a specialized control for TGC. Each slider can be dragged

horizontally and individually. Dragging vertically down across the sliders will set all sliders.

Pages

: When a tab has multiple pages of controls, each page is represented by a dot at the

top of the page. The current page is indicated by a filled-in dot. You can move between pages

by dragging your finger horizontally across the dots. These dots do not appear when there is

only one page in the current tab.
