About views
An application window always contains at least one graphical view. Graphical views are used to visualize geographic data, create new data, as well as for editing and analyzing existing graphical data. In order to view and work with a particular section of the map or a specific type of graphic data, there are tools that let you zoom, pan, navigate in graphical views, and hide or highlight certain data.
The following sections give descriptions of the most commonly used tools to manage and adjust graphical views. These include:
•Split view - You have the option to show several views at once by splitting a view into two or more smaller views.
•Template View Layouts - Templates for split view on: Two columns; Two rows; One large column and two smaller rows; One large row and two smaller columns; One large column and three smaller rows; One large row and two smaller columns.
•Remove view - It is easy to delete one or several views you have created.
•Create overview - Using an overview makes it easier to orient and navigate in the map.
•Fit view - It is possible to automatically adjust the geographical extent of a view so that it captures a certain type of data, for example data in the active changeset.
•Pan in overview - Define area in overview or double-click in detail view.
