Properties of a matrix map

Matrix map (matrixes of heights, qualities, layers) can be added into the document, to delete it from the document (to not confuse with "to delete from a disk"), to change parameters of a matrix map, and also to operate displaying a matrix map in structure of the document.

Modes for work with matrix maps:

Visibility.

The mode is intended for a choice of kind of a matrix displaying:

- fill;

- deep;

- translucent;

- middle;

- transparent;

- none.

Over Map.

At visualization of data the matrix map at first is displayed, then raster map, and by last - the vector map. Vector map becomes visible.

The mode is intended for change of sequence of displaying matrix maps. After use of the given mode the current matrix is displayed atop of the main map of the document.

Scale range.

The mode is intended to set borders of a matrix visibility. Aggregate of bottom and top borders of scales range of displaying, at which the matrix will be visible, makes borders of a matrix visibility.

Go to.

The mode is intended for fast movement on region to a southwest corner of a current matrix. After use of the given mode the southwest corner of a matrix is displayed in the center of a visible part of the document (in the center of the screen).

Matrix image.

Brightness/Contrast.

The mode is intended for editing a palette of a map, and also for change of values of brightness and contrast of a map. Management of a palette (Colors menu item).

Show extractive matrix.

Mode is applicable to matrixes with the installed border. It is intended to control the use of a matrix border at its displaying. To set the border of a matrix, use the modes:

- to set border of a matrix by specified contour (Extract manually);

- to set border of a matrix by map object (Extract Map object).

To set border of a matrix by map object.

The mode is intended to set a border of a matrix along the contour formed by closed object of a vector map. Preliminary the matrix should be added into the document of a vector map. Expects from the user of a choice of the closed object of a vector map.

For displaying entire matrix use the mode: Show extractive matrix.

To set border of a matrix by specified contour (Extract manually).

The mode is intended to set a border of a matrix by arbitrary contour. Expects from the user of creation of a contour of the arbitrary shape.

For displaying entire matrix use a mode: Show extractive matrix.

At repeated installation of a matrix border the old border will be deleted.

Show border.

The mode is intended for displaying a border of a matrix.

Edit border.

The mode is intended for editing a separate point of a matrix border (change of its planned position). It is carried out by moving cursor with the pressed left mouse button. Move of the cursor with released button not lead to change of position of a point.

Choice of a point is made by move of cross-hairs in a work field without pressing of mouse buttons. Thus, the auxiliary line connects the cursor with nearest to it point of object.

It is recommended to carry out the rough positioning of point by means of the mouse, and exact - by means of arrows on the keyboard with the pressed button of the mouse.

Saving a border of matrix is made during the moment of completion of carried out operation.

At activation of the given mode the matrix map is displayed entirely, without taking into account a border. After completion of carried out operation the displaying a matrix is restored to the initial condition.

Placing a matrix.

The mode is intended for a placing of a matrix on a map.

At enabling a mode Place by angle, the matrix moves under the document behind the mouse cursor. To the cursor of a mouse a southwest corner of a matrix corresponds. It is necessary to choose new position of a southwest corner of a matrix on a map and to click by the left mouse button.

Place by 1 point.

The mode is intended for shift of a matrix concerning vector (raster, matrix) map without change of a matrix's scale.

Place by 1 point mode expects from the user of an execution of following actions:

- to choose a point of a matrix;

- to specify a point corresponding to it on a map.

At positioning the matrix moves so that the point specified on a matrix comes to conformity with a point specified on a map. Thus, the placing of a matrix changes.

Projection.

Setting projection parameters.

Optimization.

Compression and optimization of data of a matrix map.

Cutting of matrix.

Add.

At a choice of a nonexistent name you load the dialog: Matrix builder, or Matrix of layers builder, or Building of matrix of qualities (depending on the specified extension of a matrix map).

Close.

The mode is intended for deleting a current matrix map from the document.

Save as ….

Unloading the values of a matrix of heights into a file.

Delete the file.

The mode is intended for deleting files of a map from a hard disk of a computer.
