Using Layers to Analyze a Field

Field Maps
The Layers button opens the Layers chooser. This chooser is used to view,
edit, and print the various layers of your fields. Think of it as your access to
what you want to accomplish with field maps in JDOffice.
Layers of a map are individual fields and can be
described as overlays which, when combined, are
used to visually compare data and analyze the
factors affecting your yields.
The chooser may only have one or two layers
displayed when you open it. Because it can remain
open while viewing a field map, you can add and
remove layers at any time. Field map layers from
any year can be displayed together in the Layers chooser.
A key feature of JDOffice is to be able to stack the various layers upon one
another on the field map. While viewing the map, you can then use the View
box in the Layers chooser to toggle between which layers you view and the
stacking order of these layers. You can have several field layers listed in the
chooser, but not view them on the map.
Note: The Layers chooser may cover part of JDOffice. To hide it
while working on the field map, Minimize the window. This will
reduce the Layers chooser in size, but not close it. To restore the
Layers chooser to is previous size and location, click the Restore
button. If you close the Layers chooser instead of minimizing it,
all Edit commands will be disabled.
Layer Chooser Tasks
Choose a layer to view: The View box must be checked for a layer to be
visible on the field map. Although you may have a layer activated, it is the
ascending order of the layers within the chooser that controls which layers are
visible (on top). The field and crop boundaries are the only layers that can be
visible at all times with any other layer.
Choose a layer to edit: Edit controls what toolbars are available and which
layer you are able to edit. You can only select one layer at a time to edit, and
you can only edit boundary, point, application plan, and drain tile layers.
Highlight a layer: Highlighting a layer activates the command buttons for that
layer. Once you highlight it, the commands apply to only that layer.
