Create map legend

This task is intended for drawing conventional signs of selected (marked) objects onto map.

Therefore before start it is desirable to mark the certain group of objects on a map. If necessary, marking of objects can be made and after start of dialogue, but then in dialogue it will be necessary to press Reform button. In the list the objects selected only on one map of the document are displayed. The objects selected at once on several maps it is necessary to process by turns, consistently choosing a map from the list (Starting map).

To plot a legend, it is enough to set the user map, on which legend elements will be placed, to press Show button and to choose on a map the coordinates of the left top corner for page of elements arrangement. Objects may be plotted in two modes: by turns all pages (in the main dialogue) and any page onto a choice (in dialogue of viewing). If drawing of objects is made in the main dialogue, the user should set consistently coordinates of the left top corner of the current page until all elements will not be put on a map. The main dialogue at this time will be minimized into the pictogram till end of process. Process of drawing can be stopped, having restored dialogue and having finished the task. Once the plotted page the second time will not be re-plotted.

The classifier of an output user map can differ from the classifier of the starting map. In this case one objects can be absent in the classifier of an output map, others can have distinct from initial the image. Absent objects are marked by symbol "*", having other image - by symbol "?". At difference of the initial and output data it is offered to create a new output map with the corresponding classifier. At refusal of creation onto a map the objects existing in the output classifier will be put only.

Directly ahead of drawing (Show button) is desirable to review the image of legend (View button) and if necessary to modify the image of elements, their names and arrangement. For this purpose it is necessary to return into the main dialogue and to change parameters: the size of an element (includes directly the image and its name), the size of page and offset from edge of page, presence of a contour, a background (fill), the title. The name of a font for the title gets out of the list of the fonts established in a complex of programs "Panorama" which settings is carried out in Fonts subitem of Parameters item.

The quantity of the pages occupied by a legend, is considered automatically and depends on quantity of objects, the sizes of page, quantities of lines and columns. If the size of an element exceeds the size of page (including offset) then the size of page will change automatically.

At desire it is possible to work only with the objects marked in the list. For this purpose it is necessary to expose an attribute Selected from list.
