These are the current views of the tracker
The text view
This view simply says what the agent did, in order. Not the best way of visualising what's going on, but it does show everything that happened without room for doubt.

The map view
This view shows a very diagrammatic representation of agent actions, and so is suited for getting a good overall picture of what is happening. Sometimes details can get lost, and some moves might be ambiguous in which case a text view can be consulted.
Details
Menus
- File
- Close - close this view
- Print - print the view
- Scale
Change the scale of the map - larger scales zoom in.
- Trails
How many previous jumps of this agent should be shown as arrows?
- Find Agent
If a large scale view is being used, this will scroll the map so the requested agent is approximately in the middle.
Display
Jumps are shown as an arrow, kinked in the middle to avoid overlapping.
Submits are shown as a black cirlce round the submitter, and a straight black arrow to the child.
Initialisation
A couple of things need to be set up for the map view, and this is done in the file map.tcl
map.tcl resides in the tracker directory.
Misc
A click on an agent will reveal the agent's name in the status bar at the bottom.
