Map Info Control

VertiGIS Studio Reporting provides a variety of controls related specifically to the map. These controls appear if a user is licensed for both VertiGIS Studio Reporting and VertiGIS Studio Printing.

Description

The Map Info control includes information about the map in the report output.

The Map Info control works with 2D maps only. If you print a 3D web scene from a Web AppBuilder app, the Map Info control will be blank.

Properties Common to Most Controls

For more information about the properties listed below, see Properties Common to Most Controls.

For more information regarding each of the property groups, see the Control Reference.

Actions

Map Name

Defines the Map Picture Box control or Feature Map control you wish to display the map information for.

Type

Sets the type of map information for the control to show. Options include:

  • Attribution: Shows the copyright and other attribution information for the visible layers.

    If you place an Attribution Map Info control on the map, you may want to adjust the font formatting, like the color (Appearance | Foreground Color) and size (Appearance | Font | Size), so the text shows up well against the background.

  • Map Center: Shows the latitude and longitude of the center of the map extent that has been printed. If the latitude and longitude are not available, the XY coordinates of the center point are shown.

  • Scale: Shows the denominator of the map's scale, as an integer. For example, if the map scale is 1 : 50000, the print output shows 50000.

  • Spatial Reference: Shows the Well Known Text (WKT) of the spatial reference. If the WKT is not available, the WKID is shown.

A Map Info control can only show one type of information. To show additional types, add additional Map Info controls.

Appearance

The Map Info control does not support Font Underline or Strikethrough.

 

Text Alignment
