| 00:01 | Welcome to this spoken tutorial on Introduction to Marble. |
| 00:06 | In this tutorial, we will learn
About Marble interface and |
| 00:12 | Different menus |
| 00:15 | To record this tutorial I am using, |
| 00:19 | Ubuntu Linux OS, version 16.04 |
| 00:24 | Windows 10 OS |
| 00:27 | Marble version 1.12.20 |
| 00:33 | To follow this tutorial, learner should be familiar with basic Geography. |
| 00:41 | Let us open the Marble application in Ubuntu Linux OS. |
| 00:46 | Click on Dash Home. |
| 00:49 | In the Search bar, type Marble. |
| 00:53 | Marble icon is seen. |
| 00:56 | Double-click on it to open the Marble application. |
| 01:02 | Let us open the Marble application in Windows 10 OS. |
| 01:07 | In the Search bar, type Marble. |
| 01:11 | Marble icon appears in the list. |
| 01:14 | Click on it, to open the Marble application. |
| 01:18 | This is the interface of Marble Virtual Globe. |
| 01:22 | Interface has two sections, left panel and topographical map of earth. |
| 01:31 | On the top left corner of the map we can see an Overview Map of the globe. |
| 01:38 | Observe that the Overview Map has a small white circle. |
| 01:43 | This circle depicts a particular location on the globe. |
| 01:48 | Now I will rotate the globe. |
| 01:51 | As I rotate, observe the changes in the position of the circle on the overview map. |
| 01:58 | At the bottom left corner of the map we have a Scale bar. |
| 02:03 | Scale bar shows the ratio between actual distance and distance shown on the map. |
| 02:10 | On the top right corner of the topographical map we can see a compass. |
| 02:16 | It shows the four directions north, south, east and west. |
| 02:25 | As per our convenience we can change the location of Overview map, Scale bar and Compass. |
| 02:37 | On the right side of the map, we see a white circular tool named as windrose. |
| 02:44 | It has 4 arrow buttons. |
| 02:48 | This tool is used for navigation on the globe. |
| 02:53 | I will click on the up and down arrow buttons of the windrose. |
| 02:59 | Observe that earth rotates on its axis back and forth. |
| 03:06 | Next I will click on the left and right arrow buttons of the windrose. |
| 03:12 | On clicking these arrow buttons, the earth spins around its physical axis. |
| 03:19 | The arrow keys on the keyboard allow us to change the directions on the globe. |
| 03:25 | As I press the arrow keys, notice the changes in direction of the globe. |
| 03:32 | Below the windrose we have a Home button. |
| 03:36 | This button resets the globe to its original position. |
| 03:41 | Next we have a vertical Zoom slider. |
| 03:45 | On the slider, plus(+) button is for zoom in and minus (-) is for zoom out. |
| 03:53 | Click on plus(+) or minus (-) buttons or drag the slider to zoom the globe as required. |
| 04:03 | We can also scroll the mouse wheel to zoom in or zoom out. |
| 04:09 | Notice the changes on the size of map, as I scroll the mouse wheel. |
| 04:15 | Let us drag the zoom slider to see the map of India clearly. |
| 04:21 | I will zoom out to get the previous location on the map. |
| 04:26 | At the bottom of the window we see a Status bar. |
| 04:31 | The Status bar shows Position, Altitude, date and time of a particular location. |
| 04:39 | Next we will look at the menu bar of Marble. |
| 04:43 | Menu bar has standard menu items like,
File, Edit, View, Bookmarks, Settings and Help. |
| 04:55 | Notice that short-cut keys are available for some of the sub-menus. |
| 05:01 | For example, short-cut key to open a file is Ctrl O. |
| 05:07 | Short-cut key to Download Maps is Ctrl N. |
| 05:12 | These short-cut keys are called Command tabs. |
| 05:17 | Below the menu bar, we can see a toolbar. |
| 05:21 | It has Open, Print and Copy map icons. |
| 05:28 | Now I will demonstrate how to set a default home location. |
| 05:33 | I am taking India, as my default home location. |
| 05:39 | To set the Home location, go to Bookmarks menu and select Set Home Location. |
| 05:47 | We can also use the Home button on the keyboard to set the Home location. |
| 05:53 | Now we will set a bookmark for Mumbai on the map. |
| 05:58 | Locate the position of Mumbai on the map. |
| 06:03 | Go to Bookmarks menu and select Add Bookmark option. |
| 06:09 | Edit Bookmark- Marble dialog box appears on the screen. |
| 06:15 | In the Description field, type the name as Mumbai, India.
Click on OK button. |
| 06:23 | A bookmark for the location of Mumbai has been saved with latitude and longitude. |
| 06:30 | I will zoom out to get the previous location on the map. |
| 06:35 | Let us check whether our Home location is set properly or not. |
| 06:40 | So, I will close the Marble application by clicking on cross button. |
| 06:46 | Now I will reopen Marble application using the Dash Home. |
| 06:55 | Notice that, the interface has opened with the same view as we closed earlier. |
| 07:02 | Below the toolbar, we can see 5 Panels.
Search , Routing, Location, Map view, and Legend. |
| 07:14 | We will learn more about these panels in the upcoming tutorials |
| 07:20 | As an assignment: |
| 07:22 | Locate Delhi and Chennai on the India map. |
| 07:27 | Bookmark these positions on the virtual globe.
