Request of the map object description

To request a description (brief reference information) of a map object:

1. Activate the digital map containing the object of interest.

2. Move the cursor crosshair over the object and press the left Mouse button or the ENTER key on the keyboard.

Dialog View

The digital map has a multi-layered structure. Several objects can be spatially located simultaneously at the point indicated by the crosshair. Therefore, after the first click, information about the topmost object will appear in the dialog window. Vertical layer-by-layer navigation is possible using the Forward and Back buttons.

Dialog operation modes:

Select object on the map

Highlight selected object on the map

Unhighlight selected object

Copy selected objects to a user map

Entire object in window

Back

Forward

Auto-save object

Save object

Step back

Help

The dialog provides the ability to recode the selected object-clicking in the image window at the top of the dialog allows you to select a new object type.

The top part of the dialog displays non-editable object characteristics:

• Number — the unique or serial number of the object on the map;

• Code — the classification code in digital or symbolic form;

• Key — the object key in the classifier;

• Perimeter or Length of the object;

• Area for a closed object.

Toggling between the unique number and the sequential number is done by clicking the mouse on the word Number. The field name for the sequential number is set to Number*.

To view the classification code in symbolic form, you need to click the mouse on the word Code. The field name for the symbolic classification code is set to *Code.

For areal and closed linear objects, the object's perimeter is indicated in the Perimeter field; for other localizations, the object's Length is indicated. For a multi-contour closed object, the perimeter is defined as the sum of the perimeters of all external contours. For an unclosed object, the sum of the perimeters of all contours is calculated.

The area of an object with sub-objects is defined as the area of the object minus the areas of the sub-objects.

For a multi-contour object, the areas of all external contours are summed, and the areas of the internal contours (sub-objects) are subtracted.

To obtain refined values for length and area, you must select the Refine area and length item in the Options menu. If this item is not selected, calculations are performed using the coordinates on the map. The letter K will be added to the Perimeter and Area field names.

The units for displaying length and area are set on the Metric tab.

The dialog allows viewing and editing the main characteristics of selected objects, located in the lower part of the dialog as tabs.

Main tabs:

Semantics

Metric

Scale

View

Object Set

Graphics

3D

In the object selection dialog, semantics can be sorted by the following criteria:

• Disabled;

• Code;

• Characteristic;

• Value;

• Key.

The sort indicator is saved in the Sort section of the application's INI file and is restored in the next session.

Menu items Select Similar Objects and Select Objects by Semantics.

When selecting objects similar to the selected one, the system checks for matches in layer, type of localization, object code, and the value of the current semantic attribute or the semantics selected on the tab. If the semantic on the Semantics tab is of the File Link type, the context menu will additionally contain the items Open in a Separate Window and Add to the Current Document. Selecting the corresponding item will execute a command to open or add the corresponding dataset (vector map, remote sensing data, etc.).

On the Metric tab, the Display Order item has been added to the context menu, intended for selecting the Topmost, Bottommost, or Normal property, which affects the object's position relative to other objects. When the "Normal" property is set, the object's display order is determined by its layer, symbol type, and localization in the classifier.

On the Metric tab, the Save Metric Coordinates in EPSG:3857 item has been added to the context menu, intended for saving the object's metric in GeoJSON format in the Mercator projection on the WGS-84 sphere. The resulting file can be used to add objects to the Public Cadastral Map.

If errors occur related to incorrect file association, delete the panorama64.ini file. This file is located at:

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Panorama15\panorama64.ini

The path to the file can also be opened via the Data Location window, where it can be viewed and deleted.

To describe certain complex properties of map objects, a semantics type called Grouped (TGROUPRECORD) has been developed. For example, a building at an intersection may have 2 addresses. Each address in its full description may have a city name, street name, building number, block number, postal code, and other properties. The street name and building number must be interpreted strictly in a specific combination. In this case, a grouped semantics "Address" can be created for the object, including, for example, 5 semantics: city name, street name, building number, block number, postal code.

For display in the semantics list, a grouped semantics has a type description in the form of a formula string. Grouped semantics may include other grouped semantics, which makes it possible to build multi-level trees. This allows storing, in the semantics of objects, descriptions of attributes from XML files with node nesting, as well as storing representations of objects from spatial databases (DBM maps) while preserving records from subordinate tables with multi-level nesting.
