This tab is displayed for both vector and raster layers and has two sub-tabs. The following information can be entered.

 

Parameters

 


Path: [READ ONLY] Path to the file containing the layer.

 


Name:  [READ ONLY] Name of the file containing the layer.

 


Caption: Name under which it appears in the Legend panel.

 


Coordinate System: Coordinate system in which the layer is displayed.

 


Cached Paint: If unchecked, the rendering is performed directly on the Map area, which can dramatically improve performance with very large and complicated vector data sets but causes Map area flickering.

 


Labels on top: If checked, labels are displayed on top of all layers in the project.

 


Incremental paint: If unchecked, the rendering in Drag mode is performed only after the mouse button is released, which can dramatically improve performance with very large and complicated vector data sets.

 


Transparency: Factor defining the layer transparency; it must be greater or equal to 0 and lower or equal to 100, where 0 means invisible and 100 means opaque.

 


Addition: Factor determining the degree to which the background color of the layer is added to the color of the layer shapes; it must be greater or equal to 0 and lower or equal to 100, where 0 means shape color and 100 means layer background color; this feature applies only to anaglyph images.
