Map views
Previous  Top  Next

GIS view in TAXIS has two components: Legend and Map. Legend displays all layers that are loaded to the map. You can change the appearance of each layer by double-clicking its name (or Layer|Properties command).
Information about layer collection is stored in .ttkgp Project file. It contains all the information about each layer and its configuration including thematic mapping and SQL commands.
Use GIS menu items to access functions dealing with map view.



·New project - Creates new map view, which is represented by a text (Project) file with *.ttkgp (TAXIS GIS) extension. This file contains information about all layers in the view. By default when you first open TAXIS GIS section it is already represented by the file stored in current database folder under GIS/prj.ttkgp.  
·Open project - opens saved view.  
·Save project - saves current view.  
·Save project copy - saves a copy of current view.  
·Save as image - saves current view to image file (tiff, jpeg). Note the created image file is georeferenced and can be loaded back to the view as raster.  
·Import distribution - imports existing distribution map to selected taxon (read more about distribution maps)  
·View properties - currently only background color for the view.
