66.1. Map interface

The Maps are the gvSIG documents which allow the design of maps. You can insert different Views in a Map, having access to the TOC of each View.

When opening a Map from the Project manager, a new window appears which is divided in the following parts:

1. Menu bar.

2. Button bar.

3. Table of Contents (TOC): It lists all the layers that the selected View in the Map contains, and the legend which represents the symbology used for each layer.

4. Map area. It is where the page is represented. You can make the main actions in this area (such as navegation, selection, insertion of elements...).

5. Status bar. The status bar provides information about the coordinate system of the selected view, scale of visualization, coordinates and units.

The components 3 and 4 are resizable, dragging their edge to their right and left by clicking and holding the left button of the mouse.
