2D Markup can be used in combination with digital maps to achieve two-dimensional graphical plotting for command and dispatch schemes such as military operations, emergency response plans, and public security encirclement operations. By utilizing various graphics and symbols with special meanings provided by the 2D Markup panel, it can visually and accurately display event response plans on a 2D map, enhancing the efficiency of consultation and communication during emergency response processes.
2D Markup provides a symbol library created in accordance with relevant industry standards, which fully supports the graphical application needs of industries such as military, public security and armed police, and emergency response. The police graphical symbol library is shown in the figure below.

In SuperMap desktop products, when creating or opening a map, the '2D Markup' tab will be displayed. The functions of this tab are introduced as follows:
Markup Panel
It is used to display a symbol panel for common symbols, police symbols, and primitives. When the CAD layer is editable, you can directly select a symbol or primitive for drawing.
Properties Panel
It is used to display the attributes of selected symbols or primitives, supporting direct modification of their properties.
