The available options vary depending on the layer type: vector or raster. Icons provide access to each of these sections.
#Description
1Icons providing access to the sections:
Properties
Style
Labels
Tooltip
Filter
Focus mode: click this icon to apply Focus mode to the map.
The language icon indicates the language in which configurations are displayed in JMap NG applications. Click the icon to change the language.
2Each section displays the parameters to configure. These vary depending on the layer type (vector or raster) and the elements of the vector layer (points, lines, polygons, annotations).
3The map reflects configurations in real time.
The configurable parameters depend on the data source type: * Data source properties and Focus mode are available for all data source types. * You can configure style, labels, tooltips, and filters for layers from vector data sources. * Only style is configurable for layers from raster data sources. {% hint style="warning" %} Configurations made in one language are only displayed in that language in JMap NG applications. If you do not provide content in a language, nothing is displayed in Studio or in JMap NG applications when the interface is set to that language. {% endhint %}
