Field <strong>Maps</strong><br />

The Polygon Cross-Section tool is used to display the size (in acres or<br />

hectares) of a polygon. When selected, the mouse pointer will convert to .<br />

The area of the polygon will appear in the status bar, and will change as you<br />

move over different polygons. The polygon is selected from the highlighted layer<br />

in the Layer chooser (ex: if the zone layer is highlighted, a shape on the map will<br />

be selected). This tool works on any shape excluding the boundaries.<br />

To view a layer’s average statistics for a polygon area - not the<br />

entire field - click on a shape. The shape will be highlighted<br />

with “marching ants.”<br />

The layers that have View selected in the Layers chooser will<br />

appear together in an information window - data contained on a contour layer will<br />

NOT be included. If you select another shape, the data in the window will change<br />

according to the location of the new shape.<br />

Click More to open a Selection Information window about that layer’s points<br />

which are located within the boundary of the polygon. If you click More for a<br />

different layer, the information in the window will change to reflect the new layer.<br />

Note: The area listed on the two screens will differ due to the way it<br />

is calculated. The area as listed on the Polygon Cross-Section<br />

window is the actual size of the selected polygon; the area as listed<br />

on the Selection Info window is calculated from the gathered data<br />

points, factoring in items such as header width and row overlap.<br />

View point information within a polygon:<br />

1. Click Layers .<br />

2. Add all point layers that you want to view data for; add the contour layer that<br />

you want to select the polygon shape from.<br />

3. Move the polygon contour layer to the top of the Layers chooser.<br />

4. Check View for the point layers to include.<br />

5. Click Polygon Cross-Section .<br />

6. Select a polygon shape on the top contour layer.
