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 entrance

  • 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

Parameter Description

Transparent color setting

The transparent color setting is to set a certain Color Setting in the Grid/Image layer in the scene as the transparent color, that is, to set the Area Setting covered by the specified color in the layer as the transparent effect. The setting of transparent color needs to be completed by using two parameters of " Transparent Color" and " Transparent Color Tolerance".

  • Transparent Color: Lets you specify the color in the layer that sets the transparency effect.
  • Transparent color tolerance: It is used to set other color ranges close to the transparent color in the layer to set the transparent effect. The value range is 0-255. For example, the RGB value of the transparent color is (53, 99, 20). When the Transparent Color Tolerance Settings is 3, the area covered by the color with the RGB value between (50, 96, 17) and (56, 102, 23) is all set as the transparent effect.

Transparency

Transparency sets the degree of transparency of the current layer. The value range is an integer between 0 and 100. The default value is 0, which means that the layer is completely opaque. As the value increases, the layer becomes more and more transparent. When the transparency value is set to 100, the layer is completely transparent.

Caution:
The Layer Transparency Settings button is only available
when an open Image Layer or Raster Layer loaded as an image in the scene is selected.

Multiresolution Render

This function is only available when the current layer in the scene is a map layer and an image Tile Layer. This option is checked by default.

If this option is checked, the system will use Multiresolution Render to smooth the Display Effects of the layer; if this option is not checked, the system will render the layers in the scene with only one resolution, and when browsing the layers, blanks may appear at the edges of different Tile blocks.
