or by going to the “View” menu bar, to “Query” and then to “Information”.
The “Information Tool” is used to obtain information about the map elements.
When you click on an element using this tool, gvSIG shows the selected element’s attributes in a dialogue window. However, the layer of the element you wish to identify must previously be activated.
