Nomenclature Layer
From JMARS Wiki
The Nomenclature Layer displays the names and locations of all the named features on Mars. This data has been provided by the U.S. Geological Survey's Astrogeology Research Program. The Nomenclature Layer is available in the THEMIS, MRO and Public releases of JMARS.
[edit] Open the Nomenclature Layer
- Open the Nomenclature Layer: Chose "Add New Layer" -> "Nomenclature"
- Display Points: Under the Points section of the focus panel, check whether the feature points should be displayed in the Main and Panning Views.
- Select Point Color: The default color of the points is red, but if a colorized map is being used a different color may be more visible. Click on the red bar to select a different color.
- Display Labels: Under the Labels section, check whether the feature name labels should be displayed in the Main and Panning Views.
- Display Label Tooltips: With the tooltips enabled, mousing-over the feature names will provide the feature name, feature type and location in a mouse tooltip.
- Specify Landmark Type: Highlighting a type of feature in the scroll list of the "Selected Landmarks" section will only display that type of feature in the Viewing Window. Users can display all the feature types by clicking the "Select All" button.
