Reception of necessary data about map

Total page of Property of a map panel is divided onto 2 parts: Information about node and Information about file.

Information about an element of a tree is: Name, Type, Path to data, Note.

Element name - non-obligatory text name of a tree element. Editing is possible.

Element type is filled automatically depending on the Name and Path to data. It is possible to mark following types:

1. Thematic section is the generalized group of maps. The branches of a tree containing the common name of group of tree elements collected by any characteristic are concerned to it. For example, Moscow and Moscow oblast - all the maps concerning the city of Moscow and Moscow oblast are collected in it.

2. Thematic section with partial path to data. It is similar to thematic section and consists of the name of group and the initial path of daughter elements placed into square brackets. For example, Moscow oblast [C: \Panorama \MosObl \] - the maps concerning Moscow oblast and placed with initial path C: \Panorama \MosObl\ are placed into section.

3. File with data is a file of maps with extension: *.SXF, *.TXF, *.SIT, *.MAP, *.RSW, *.RST, *.MTW, *.MTL, *.MTQ, *.MPT, *.RSC. Path to a file can be specified full or relative and is marked by square brackets. The relative path is a partial path to a file concerning an initial path of a parental branch. If the path of the uppermost parent is not specified then path to base of metadata is accepted as initial path.

Files of maps are the files having extension: *.SXF, *.TXF, *.SIT, *.MAP, *.RSW, *.RST, *.MTW, *.MTL, *.MTQ, *.MPT, *.RSC.

For example, equally correct record of elements will be:

Podolsk 1 : 100 000 [C: \Panorama9 \DATA \Podolsk.map]

                                    and

Podolsk 1 : 100 000 [DATA \Podolsk.map].

4. File of arbitrary format is the file not being a map. For example,

Document [D: \TreeMap \Document.txt].

Path to data - a full path to a file. You can change a path manually or by choice from a disk at calling the dialog Path to selection which is started by the button .

Note - the user information. It is filled manually and is stored in base of metadata in a file of dbt format.

At entering any changes into fields of Information about node group it is necessary to save changes in base of metadata, having pressed Save button.

Information about file include the following information characteristics:

- Map name,

- Map type,

- Data type,

- Scale,

- Quantity of sheets,
