Interactive editing the scheme of pages

Stage of technology of atlas formation

Manual completion of the atlas scheme is understood as interactive editing of the pages scheme.

Completion of the scheme is carried out in the Map Editor task. As basic operations of editing the scheme are usually used:

Moving of object;

Scaling, rotation of objects;

Copy of object;

Deleting of object.

Operations Move object and Scale, rotation of objects allow to arrange page of the atlas in the best way.

Copy of object operation allows to copy page of the scheme (including all the subordinated objects of group) and to place in a demanded place of the scheme. The given operation can be used for addition of missing pages, or for formation more large plans, demanded sites of district.

At copying group of objects the link of objects of a copy collapses. Therefore it is necessary to select all objects corresponding to one page, and to unite into group in a mode of the map editor: Set of objects - Selected objects to a set.

At creation of a page copy it is recommended to place it into an empty place (near to an initial map). The most convenient way of selection - making by rectangular area: Main menu - Search - Mark by frame.

Delete object is used for deleting superfluous pages of the scheme of atlas.

All the listed operations are carried out simultaneously for all objects of group which corresponds to each page of the scheme (Fields of atlas page, Internal area of page, Name of zone of atlas page , Zone of atlas page).

If necessary changes of position or the form of zones of atlas page it is necessary to destroy group of objects of page into separate objects in a mode of the map editor Set - Destroy set, to execute moving zones, or editing of a contour in a mode Move vertex. If necessary to change position of a name of a zone - to execute moving the title, or change of the title text in a mode Edit label. Upon termination of editing it is necessary to choose all objects of the scheme of page and to unite them into group in a mode of the map editor Set - Selected objects to a set.
