Editing and Deleting Shapes

In order to edit the vertices or delete shapes you need to switch into the Editing mode. Editing itself works on the principle of you highlight the points you want to edit and move the canvas behind them to get them into the desirable position. The exact procedure is slightly different between the points, lines and polygons.

Deleting shapes

  • Switch to "Edit" mode by pushing the Geometry-Edit Icon in the top tool bar. A number of new buttons will pop up along the left edge of the map screen.

  • Tap the shape(s) you wish you edit. Selected shapes will become highlighted. Tap it again to deselect.

  • If you change your mind, click "Clear"  on bottom right to clear the selection.

  • Click the Delete button on the left edge of map to delete undesirable shape(s).

Rotation, placement, and scale editing

  • Switch to "Edit" mode by pushing the Geometry-Edit Icon in the top tool bar. A number of new buttons will pop up along the left edge of the map screen.

  • Tap the shape(s) you wish you edit. Selected shapes will become highlighted.

  • Click the "Lock" button on the left edge of map to lock the shape.

  • Move, rotate and zoom the canvas behind the shape until the shape is in its desirable position.

  • Click "Clear"  if you decide to annul all the changes and the shape will snap back to its original position.

  • If you decide to commit the change, click the "Unlock" button  again to "unlock" the shape and finalize it in its new place.

Vertex editing (for Lines and Polygons only)

  • Switch to "Edit" mode by pushing the Geometry-Edit Icon on the top toolbar. A number of new buttons will pop up along the left edge of the map screen.

  • Select the Polygon/Line you wish to edit. Selected shape(s) will become highlighted.

  • Click the "Break"    button. The polygon/line will "dissolve" into its component vertices.

  • Tap the vertex you wish to edit. Selected vertices will be highlighted.

  • Press the Lock button   

  • Move the canvas behind the vertex until it is in desirable position.

  • Click the "Unlock" button to complete the placement.

  • Repeat the last four steps with any other vertex.

  • Click the "Join"   button to reconstitute the polygon/line.

Modifying Shape Style

  • Switch to "Edit" mode by pushing the Geometry-Edit Icon on the top toolbar. A number of new buttons will pop up along the left edge of the map screen.

  • Select the Polygon/Line you wish to edit. Selected shape(s) will become highlighted.

  • Click the "Properties"  icon along the left edge.

  • Modify the properties of the shape ( stroke or point size) by toggling the slides.

  • Modify the color and opacity of the polygon fill and boundary by tapping the color fields and bringing up the color wheel.
