Map Layer Properties

As described in Map Layer Formats, the CWMS software supports several map layer formats, each with its own properties. To edit those properties:

1. From the Map Layers editor, right-click on a layer to edit, from the shortcut menu, click Properties.
2. The appropriate properties editor (Figure 1) will display. For example, you have selected a map layer that is a polygon shapefile, the Edit Polygon Properties editor (Figure 1) will open. Here, you can specify the visual style for the layer and its labels. Properties dialogs vary depending on the type of layer you are editing.
