Gradient Factor settings strongly affect the calculated ceilings and their depths.
For more information about Gradient factors, see the section on xref:S_GradientFactors[Gradient Factor Preference settings]. The
currently used gradient factors (e.g. GF 35/75) are shown above the depth profile if the appropriate toolbar buttons are activated.

+=== Filtering the dive list
+
+The dives in the *Dive List* panel can be filtered, that is, one can select only some
+of the dives based on their attributes, e.g. dive tags, dive site, dive master, buddy or protective
+clothing. For instance, filtering allows one to list the deep dives at a particular
+dive site, or otherwise the cave dives with a particular buddy.
+
+To open the filter, select _Log -> Filter divelist_ from the main menu. This opens the
+_Filter Panel_ at the top of the _Subsurface_ window. Three icons are located at the top
+right hand of the filter panel. The _Filter Panel_ can be reset
+(i.e. all current filters cleared) by selecting the *+*. The _Filter Panel_ may also be
+minimised by selecting the middle icon. When minimised, only these three icons are shown.
+The panel can be maximised by clicking the icon that minimised the panel. The filter may also be
+reset and closed by selecting the button with the flag.
+An example of the _Filter Panel_ is shown in the figure below.
+
+
+image::images/Filterpanel.jpg["Figure: Filter panel",align="center"]
+
+
+Four filter criteria may be used to filter the dive list: dive tags, person (buddy / dive master), dive site
+and dive suit, each of which is represented by a check list with check boxes. Above
+each check list is a second-level filter tool, allowing the listing of only some of
+the attributes within that check list. For instance, typing "_ca_" in the filter
+textbox above the tags check list results in the tags check list being reduced
+to "_cave_" and "_cavern_". Filtering of the check list enables the rapid finding
+of search terms for filtering the dive list.
+
+To activate filtering of the dive list, the check box of at least one item in one of
+the four check lists needs to be checked. The dive list is then shortened to include
+only the dives that pertain to the selection criteria specified in the check lists.
+The four check lists work as a filter with _AND_ operators: there is no _OR_ operator.
+One can therfore search for _cave_ as a tag AND _Joe Smith_ as a buddy; but NOT
+for dives with either _cave_ as a tag OR _Joe Smith_ as a dive buddy.
