Goal: To introduce you to Continental outlines.

Reselect the "clt" Variable in the "Variable" selection window. This will reinitialize the "Dimension Manipulation Panel". Select the orange "Plot" button to display the "clt" data set.

There are five predefined continental outlines and six that the user can define.

To specify a continental outline, depress the “Option” menu to the right of “VCS Canvas 1”. Then move the pointer over “Continents Types” and over the desired continental outline. By default, "Auto Continents" will generate "Fine Continents".

For our example, select "United States Continents", then the orange "Plot" button. See figure 11 for plot results.
