The Mosaics Layer allows users to load high-quality image mosaics into JMARS. The only mosaic currently available are THEMIS VIS, Day IR and Night IR mosaics, but this will be expanded to include mosaics from other instruments as they become available. The Mosaics Layer is avaialble in the Public, THEMIS and MRO releases of JMARS.

[edit] Open the Mosaics Layer

  1. Open the Layer: In the Layer Manager, chose "Add New Layer" -> "Mosaics"
    • Boxes will appear wherever mosaics are available.
  2. Load a Mosaic (from the Viewing Window): In the Viewing Window, right-click on an area covered by an existing mosaic and chose "Load Mosaic_Name"
    • If multiple mosaics cover the selected point, they will all be available as options in the right-click menu.
    • After a mosaic is loaded, it will appear as a separate layer in the Layer Manager.

  1. Load a Mosaic (from the Focus Panel): Click on the "Mosaics" tab in the Layer Manager to access the focus panel. There is a list of all available mosaics which can be sorted by the mosaic name. Right-clicking on a mosaic name gives the user the option of either centering the Viewing Window on the mosaic or loading the mosaic.

  1. Remove a Mosaic: To remove a specific mosaic, highlight the mosaic name (ie: Gusev Crater VIS) in the Main tab of the Layer Manager and chose "Delete Layer".
    • This will not close the Mosaic Layer, but the separate layer with the specified mosaic.
