![]() Pointing and Photo
Module
The Pointing and Photo
module is used for geographical objects attributes visualization. The module
also allows the association of multimedia data to objects as well as
displaying them.
To activate the dialog
box, proceed as follows:
Note: If a search is not
performed, the buttons first, previous, next and last work as simple navigation
from the tuple used in the Objects Table. For instance, if the next
button is pressed, the next tuple will be exhibited from the current tuple.
This module allows to add (associate) multimedia data in four different ways.
The first option allows to add digital photos in one
of the following file formats: JPG, TIF, GIF and BMP, and HTML pages. The
second option allows the association of audio and video files in one of the
following file formats MOV, AVI, WAV, MID, MPG and MP3. In the third option
it is possible to add text in one of the following file formats DOC, TXT and
PDF and the fourth option allows an URL address association. These data are added as
follows:
NOTE 1: if the computer does not have
the proper resources the selected data might not be shown. For instance, for
an audio data a sound board is required as well as speakers. In other cases,
say MP3 files, a software capable to handle MP3
files is required to play it. NOTE 2: the module activates, for each
file type, the software used to create the file. To use a different program,
select it using the Windows Explorer tool. When clicking with the
mouse right button on a table area, it is shown a menu with the exhibit, add and remove
operations.
NOTE: To Edit an object, double click on a Property value and insert the
new value. NOTE: In
some kinds of fields (properties) it is not possible to change the value. NOTE: The Exhibit and Remove
operations work only when the line on which it was clicked refers to a
document that was added from the Association
option. Search The search option works as a facility for the new object to be
visualized in the attributes window. To perform a search, select a property
on the Properties button, click on the text box, type the value
to be searched and click on CR. After
performing a search, the first, previous, next and last buttons go through
the tuples from the established value. NOTE: If a
property (a column of the Objects Table visualization window) is hidden, it
will not appear as an option to be searched. NOTE: The
search returns the first object that fits the searched value. If the typed
value does not exist, the table remains unchanged.
