The central map canvas contains several icons for controlling display and visibility.
Try It Yourself #
Zoom #
- Use the + and – icons at the top left of the map canvas to zoom in and out. This zooms on the center of the map page.
- Use your mouse wheel to zoom in and out. This zooms based on the location of your mouse pointer
- At the top of the map canvas, use the Zoom Previous and Next buttons.
- Also, at the top of the map, use the Zoom Extents icon. Note: For the trial, the full extent is set to cover the entire world, so if you upload your own data, you’ll be able to zoom to that layer.
- To get back to where you were after zooming to the full extent, use previous extent, or
- Right-click an existing layer in the Workspace and Layers panel and choose Zoom to Layer Extent. This should return you to where the demo dataset is located.
Legend #
- Use the Open/Close Legend icon at the very top right corner to control the display of the Legend. Display of legend symbols can be configured for each individual layer.
- Note how, as you zoom in and out, the legend content changes. Legend content for a layer can be set to only display if currently visible on the map, and optionally the count of features visible for that layer can be displayed.
Full Screen #
- Use the Toggle Full-screen icon at the second from the top right of the map canvas (just below the Legend icon).
- Note that the Browser top bar is hidden
- Use Esc or the x symbol on the same icon to exit Full-screen.
Rotate the Map #
- Use the Rotate to North icon found at the third from the top right of the map canvas, by holding Shift+Alt while dragging your mouse on the map canvas.
- Return the map to North using the same icon, when done.
