Set Grid/ImageLayer Properties

Instructions for use

The Grid/Image group in the Layer Properties panel organizes the functionality of Grid and Image Layer-related Property Settings for adjusting the Display Effects of Grid/Image data. Only when the current layer selected in Layer Manager is Image or Raster Layer, the related Parameter Settings can be performed.

Function Entry

  • Scene tab-> Property group-> Layer Properties button-> Layer Properties Panel-> Grid/Image Section
  • Layer Manager -> Image/Raster Layer Context Menu -> Layer Properties button-> Layer Properties panel-> Grid/Image section

Operation steps

  1. Select a raster/image layer as the current layer in the layer manager.
  2. Click the "Layer Properties" button in the "Properties" group under the "Scene" tab, or right-click the current layer and choose the layer properties option from the context menu. The "Layer Properties" settings panel will appear. In the "Raster/Image" section, configure the relevant parameters as needed.
  3. Enable the transparent color setting for the layer by checking the "Transparent Color" checkbox. The color button to the right of the checkbox will become available. Click the dropdown button for transparent color settings to specify the color that will appear transparent in the layer.

    • The transparent color setting allows you to designate a specific color in the raster/image layer as transparent, meaning areas covered by that color will appear see-through. Configuring the transparent color requires two parameters: "Transparent Color" and "Transparent Color Tolerance".

    • Transparent Color: Used to specify the color that will appear transparent in the layer.
    • Transparent Color Tolerance: Used to set a range of colors similar to the transparent color that will also appear transparent. The value ranges from 0 to 255. For example, if the RGB value of the transparent color is (53, 99, 20) and the tolerance is set to 3, colors with RGB values between (50, 96, 17) and (56, 102, 23) will also be rendered as transparent.
  4. Set the layer transparency by entering a value directly or using the up/down arrows. Transparency controls how see-through the current layer appears, with integer values ranging from 0 to 100. The default value is 0, meaning the layer is completely opaque. As the value increases, the layer becomes more transparent. A value of 100 makes the layer fully transparent.
       
    Note:
    The layer transparency setting is only available when an image layer opened in the scene or a raster layer loaded as an image is selected.
  5. Optionally, choose whether to enable the multi-resolution rendering checkbox. This feature is only available when the current layer in the scene is a map layer or an image tile layer, and it is enabled by default.
    • When enabled, the system uses multi-resolution rendering to ensure smooth display of the layer. If disabled, the system renders the layer using a single resolution, which may cause blank areas at the edges between different tile blocks during navigation.
  6. After completing the settings, the current layer will display the updated effects in real-time.
