Explore the map

Оглавление

To navigate around the map, you will use the Explore tool.

1 On the Map tab, in the Navigate group, make sure the Explore tool is active.TIP If you want, you can right-click the Explore tool and click Add to Quick Access Toolbar. A small Explore tool icon is added at the top of the application window, so you can easily switch to Explore mode without changing tabs. To undo this change, right-click the icon and click Remove from Quick Access Toolbar. You can add any tool you want to the Quick Access Toolbar.

2 Navigate around the map:To zoom in and out, move the mouse up and down while pressing and holding the right mouse button. (You can also zoom using the mouse wheel.)To pan, press and hold the left mouse button, and drag the map.


TIP If you are using a touchscreen monitor, try panning and zooming using conventional touchscreen motions. (Swipe to pan, “pinch” to zoom out, and “reverse pinch” to zoom in.)

1 With the Explore tool still active, click any country to see its attributes in a pop-up window. (Zoom and pan as needed.) Notice that the feature first flashes blue and then flashes red.As explained in the first chapter, attributes are pieces of information about a geographic feature in a GIS. They are usually stored in a table and linked to the feature by a unique identifier. For example, city attributes might include the city name, the county in which it is located, total population, and demographic data. Attribute tables also store information about feature geometry, such as length and area (for lines and polygons).

2 Close the pop-up window.

3 Go to the full extent of the map: on the Map tab, in the Navigate group, click the Full Extent button.
