Using I-Sites: The Toolbar |
|
|
| Click the button, then click a feature on the map. A table window will appear with information about the feature. | |
| A single click opens a query window. | |
| Click this button and enter text in the window that opens. After clicking OK, the map server will display the locations of all map features that contain that text as attribute values. | |
| Allows the user to select by map features by clicking-and-dragging a rectangle on the map. To use, single click the button, then move the mouse pointer onto the map. Note that the pointer changes to a cross hair. Single click to define one corner of your rectangle, then drag the pointer to the opposite corner. Single click to complete the rectangle and send its coordinates to the server. The map refreshes, highlighting the map features you selected, and a table opens, presenting data on the selected features. | |
| Single click to clear selections made with the query, find, and select-by-rectangle tools. It will also reset the distance counters when using the distance tool. | |
| Print the map. | |
| Single click a tool, then click on the map to zoom in, or zoom out. | |
| Single click to zoom out to the full extent of the map. For the I-Sites interface, the full extent is the state of Iowa. | |
| Single click to return to the previous extent of the map (that is, the extent prior to a zoom in, zoom out, full extent, or pan operation). | |
| Single click to select the button, then move the cursor onto the screen. Click a point, and drag in the direction you wish to pan. | |
| This tool measures distances between two or more points that the user selects by clicking on the map. It's important to pause between clicks long enough for the map to refresh. Click the tool, then click any point on the map. The map refreshes automatically, placing a red dot at the clicked point. Now, as the cursor is moved, the distance in miles from the clicked point is displayed. When a second map point is clicked, the map refreshes to display a red line connecting the two points. Clicking a third point adds a line connecting points 2 and 3. The distance from points 2 and 3 is displayed in the Segment box, and the total length of the two line segments (1-2 and 2-3) is displayed the Total box. Click "clear selection" to remove the line segments. |
