Getting Started with Gpredict
You should be careful not to select too many satellites
for one module, otherwise your module may become
clumsy. Too many satellites may also decrease the
performance in particular if you are using a map view.
Up to 10-15 satellites per module seems to be a good
number, maybe less if you use the map view.
2.3.3 Module Properties
In order to edit the look and feel of the module click on the
Properties
button. This will bring up a window showing the module properties
grouped in a notebook. Figure 2.7 below shows a screen capture of the
module properties editor.
The
Layout
page allows you configure the visual appearance of the
module. You can choose between nine predefined layouts or create your
own custom layout by specifying the layout code. The different views are
explained in greater detail in section 4.2 and a description of how to create
your own layout is in chapter 8.
