Displaying layers based on the map scale

Some layers are configured to be displayed within a given scale interval. Displaying an abundance of small map elements when a small scale is selected (i.e. when the map displays a large territory with few details) can make it very difficult to read the map. Layers that have elements with these characteristics are usually displayed at a larger scale, when the map contains more details on a limited territory.

When a layer is not visible because of the map scale, its name and symbol will appear in very light gray. When you change the scale, these colors will become darker, indicating that the layer appears in the map if its display is enabled.
