|
<p>The default map background list can contain zero or more map
|
|
names.
|
|
Refer to Maps.py in the server configuration file section for the
|
|
possible
|
|
set of map names, or use the GFE to display the list of available maps
|
|
and choose names from the list. </p>
|
|
<p>The following variable will load the initial loaded set of map
|
|
backgrounds.
|
|
The name of the <br>
|
|
background should match the list of available maps defined in Maps.py
|
|
in the server configuration files. </p>

|
|
Colors</font></h4>
|
|
The available set of map background colors is specified in the
|
|
MapBackgrounds_availColors.
|
|
At present, all map backgrounds use the first color, unless explicitly
|
|
overridden; the other colors are not assigned. The list of
|
|
available
|
|
colors is used in the spatial editor popup button 3 menu over the map
|
|
legend.
|
|
It is the list of colors that appear in the change graphic color menu.
|
|
<p>The following variable defines the available colors for the map
|
|
backgrounds
|
|
that appears <br>
|
|
in the color list popup button 3 over a map legend. </p>
|
|
<p><b><tt>MapBackgrounds_availColors = ['gray60', 'yellow', 'white']</tt></b>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Default Map Background colors can be set by map name. If you
|
|
want
|
|
a specific map background, such as States, to be a certain color, then
|
|
this can be defined in the configuration file. You can always
|
|
change
|
|
the map background color to something else during the GFE
|
|
session.
|
|
If not specified, the assigned default color for the map background
|
|
will
|
|
be the first entry in MapBackgrounds_availColors. </p>
|
|
<p>The user may specify a specific color to be used for a map
|
|
background,
|
|
rather than getting a random color assigned. Format is
|
|
mapName_graphicColor
|
|
= color. The color does not need to be in the
|
|
MapBackgrounds_availColors
|

list. </p>

<h4><a name="MapBackgroundLineWidths"></a><font size="+1">Map

Background Line
|
|
Widths</font></h4>
|
|
The default line width of the map background can be specified in the
|
|
configuration
|
|
file. Valid numbers are zero and up. You can always change the
|
|
line
|
|
width interactively during a GFE session. If not specified, then
|
|
the line width is assumed to be zero.
|
|
<p>Default line widths can be set for each map background based on
|
|
map
|
|
name. Zero is the default value, which represents thin lines. The
|
|
larger
|
|
the number, the wider the line. The format is mapName_lineWidth.
|
|
Do not include a decimal point after these entries. </p>
|
|
<p><b><tt>States_lineWidth = 1</tt></b> <br>

|
|
<h4><a name="MapBackgroundLinePatterns"></a><font size="+1">Map
|
|
Background Line
|
|
Patterns</font></h4>
|
|
The default line pattern can be varied for each map background.
|
|
If
|
|
not specified, then the line pattern is assumed to be solid.
|
|
There
|
|
are currently four line patterns supported in the GFE.
|
|
<p>Default line patterns can be set up for each map background.
|
|
The
|
|
possible strings are "SOLID", "DASHED", "DOTTED",
|
|
"DASHED_DOTTED".
|
|
The values must be enclosed within quotes. The format is
|
|
mapName_linePattern. </p>

<p><a name="MapLabelOffsets"></a><b><font size="+1">Map Label Offsets</font></b>

</p>
|
|
<p>MapLabelXOffset and MapLabelYOffset are the number of pixels you
|
|
wish
|
|
to move map city labels relative to their "normal" position (Default is
|
|
(0,0)). </p>
|
|
<p><b><tt>MapLabelXOffset = 0</tt></b> <br>

|
|
<p><a name="MapBackgroundLabels"></a><b><font size="+1">Map
|
|
Background Labels</font></b> </p>
|
|
<p>Labels may be placed on any map background. The choice of
|
|
labels
|
|
is limited to the shapefile attributes that are present for the
|
|
particular
|
|
map background. For example, the States map background has the
|
|
following
|
|
attributes in its shapefile: STATE, FIPS, LON, NAME, recnum, LAT,
|
|
FE_ZONE.
|
|
The format of specifying a default label attribute for the map
|
|
background
|
|
is mapName_labelAttribute = attributeName. </p>
|
|
<p><b><tt>Cities_labelAttribute = "NAME"</tt></b> <br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
</p>

<h4><a name="FontOffset"></a><font size="+1">Map Background Font
|
|
Offset</font></h4>
|
|
The font used for a specific map background display is based on three
|
|
things:
|
|
<blockquote><li>The definition of TextFont*, which defines the standard
|
|
fonts used in
|
|
the
|
|
GFE.</li>
|
|
<li>The optional definition of display type fonts, which defines
|
|
which of
|
|
the
|
|
standard fonts should be used for this particular type of display
|
|
(e.g.,
|
|
Map_font).</li>
|
|
<li>The optional font offset, which adds or subtracts an offset size
|
|
from
|
|
the
|
|
calculations derived in the first two steps.</li>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
The font offset (called magnification on the GFE menus) allows the
|
|
default
|
|
font size to be increased or decreased on a per-map basis.
|
|
NNumbers
|
|
can range from -2 through +2. Format is mapName_fontOffset.
|
|
Do not include a decimal point after these entries.
|
|
<p><b><tt>States_fontOffset = 0</tt></b> <br>
