How to Set Map View Precisely¶
This guide explains the Map View Summary panel and how to use it to adjust the map view.
1. Open the Panel¶
First find the corresponding Map View Summary panel. It displays the current state of the map view, including orientation, zoom level, and visible coordinate range.
- If you are using a single-sample session, open the Layer Drawer, which contains the Map View Summary panel at the bottom.
- If you are using a multi-sample session, the Map View Summary panel is folded at the bottom left of the slot of interest. Click the expand icon to unfold it.
2. Edit a Value¶
Double-click a value to edit it directly. Press Enter or click outside the input to apply the change.
| Item | Editable | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Zoom | Yes | the current zoom level |
| Rotation | Yes | the current map bearing in degrees |
| Pitch | Yes | the current tilt angle in degrees |
| Flip | No | whether horizontal flip is on or off |
| X | Yes | the current visible X-coordinate range |
| Y | Yes | the current visible Y-coordinate range |
Tip
- If no layer is loaded, direct editing is disabled.
- Editing X or Y changes the map bounds rather than a single point value.
