Functions common to different types of geometry
Functions for the polygon layer
Arguably the most important and expansive MapMaker’s function.
By clicking editing icon next to a layer in „Layer tree” you will enter this layer’s editing.
While in edit mode you gain an access to variety of editing tools which you can learn more about in these following tabs:
In the layer tree, we can enable or disable the layer visibility. After entering the edit mode, the visibility is turned off by default to facilitate the work. If we want, we can turn on the visibility during the edit mode. When you finish editing, the layer becomes visible.
The list item allows us to turn off the visibility of the selected object on the map.
We enter the edition of the selected layer. In the attribute table, each record has a mesh icon that allows you to turn off record visibility.
Selecting objects allows us to select the object or objects we are interested in.
To do this, enter the editing mode of the selected layer. In the attribute table, by clicking the selected record, select the object. If we want to select more objects, we click the mouse button while holding down the ctrl key.
If you want to add a new layer to the project, enter this option in the upper left corner. We name the layer, choose the type of geometry. We can choose which group the layer should be added to. Optionally, at this stage, we can also add columns to the attribute table.
If you want to import a layer to the project, enter this option in the upper left corner. In the displayed window, we see 5 tabs, select the appropriate tab depending on the type of data we want to import. We give the layer a name and select the group to which the file is to be imported. By clicking the mouse in the place of import, the file explorer will appear, in which we select the file that we want to import. Click the Import button.
If you want to add a group of layers in a project, enter this option in the upper left corner. We name the group and select the parent group. We add a group.
If you want to delete a group or layer in a project, select what you want to delete in the layer tree. We do this by clicking on a layer or group, if we want to select more objects we click the mouse button with the ctrl button. Objects highlighted in orange are selected. Then we enter the option to delete group or layer in the upper left corner. We confirm deletion.
Layer manager, i.e. layer management.
If you want to perform operations in the layer manager in the project, enter this option in the upper left corner. Here we can display information about the layer such as size, layer type, layer name. We can restore a layer from the database if it has not been permanently deleted. By selecting the selected layer, we can delete the layer from the database. There is also a search engine and a drop-down list that facilitates selection with file division.
The object identification option is on the right pane. Click on the options, and then on the selected object on the map. We are shown information about the area we clicked on.
