Multiscale objects

Multiscale objects are the objects of a vector map that have several copies of the contour with different detail of points. Additional contours are formed for smaller display scales - 1/4, 1/16, 1/64 from the base scale of a map and are recorded into the metric of object together with the main contour. When scaling the map, those contours of objects that are closer to the current display scale will be automatically displayed. This speeds up the display of complex objects and makes the image of the terrain more visual.

At any editing of the map and when performing calculations by the metric of the object, the main contour of the multiscale object is processed.

Multiscale objects are formed in the Map Sorting procedure. If the Generalization of multiscale objects option is selected for sorting, then for objects of the RSC classifier having the Multiscale property, additional contours will be built by the generalization method.

Multiscale objects are one of the elements of a multiscale map. They change the detail of their contour when changing the scale of the display.

The use of multiscale maps in a packed MPTZ project allows you to reduce the number of created scales (layers) of maps in the system of storing, finishing and applying topographic and geodetic information.
