@vcmap/measurement

Part of the VC Map Project

VC Map Plugin allowing measurements directly in the Map.

Conduct Measurements

The measurement mode is active when the respective measurement option is activated, recognizable by the change of the mouse cursor from the selection arrow to the editing pen icon edit. Clicking on the map starts the measurement or continues a measurement that has already been started. Measurements can be completed by double-clicking at the endpoint. A new measurement is started using the NEW button.

Select measurements

Individual objects can be selected by clicking on the measurement geometry. Multiple selection is also possible by pressing "Ctrl" on the keyboard.

Subsequently pressing "Del" on the keyboard removes a selected measurement from the view or from My Workspace.

Additionally, individual measurements can be directly edited, shown/hidden, or removed by right-clicking on the corresponding measurement object.

Edit Vertices

The Edit Mode can be acitvated through the following methods:

• Selecting the measurement geometry and clicking on Edit measurement in the tool window
• Right-Clicking on the measurement geometry and icon Edit measurement via the context menu
• Clicking on icon kebab next to the respective measurement in My Workspace, Edit item and icon Edit measurement in the tool window

The following actions are possible:

| Action | Description | | -------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Addition of a new vertex | A new vertex is created by clicking at the appropriate place on the geometry. | | Movement of a vertex in all directions (horizontal / vertical) | The vertex is moved to the desired location by clicking and dragging with the left mouse button. | | Removal of a vertex | The vertex is removed by clicking on it while holding “Shift”.+ (Important: the measurement must have been completed beforehand!). |

Measurement Tool in the 2D Map

The following measurement tools are available in the 2D map:

• Point Measurement
