Using the Toolbar

The toolbar allows you to interact with the map by clicking on the map with a tool.

Also see Using the mouse for tips on using the mouse to interact with the map.

To use a tool

Note: Some tools do an action immediately. These include the Full-extent, Back-extent, and Next-extent tools.

• In the toolbar, click on the tool you want to use.
• Move the cursor over the map. The cursor may change to indicate the tool you are using.
• Click on the map with the left mouse button. Note: Some tools work by depressing the mouse and dragging the cursor to draw a rectangle, line or polygon, then releasing the mouse button.

Tools

Tools in your website depend on the purpose and use of the application. Some or all of these may be available:

Name	Icon	Description
Full extent		Full extent: Immediately zooms the map out to the area of all features and layers. The active tool does not change.
Previous extent		Previous extent: The map returns to the area displayed previously. Similar to the browser's Back button, but specifically for the map. If the button is disabled, you are at the original extent in the extent history.
Forward extent		Forward extent: The map displays the next extent in the list of stored map extents. This is only available after the Previous Extent button has been clicked. If the button is disabled, you are at the latest extent in the extent history.
Identify		Click to identify: Click with the left mouse button on the map. Information will be displayed in the data tab or left hand column.
Measure tool		Measure map features: The Measure tool lets you draw on the map to measure lines and areas. Once the measure tool is activated, the measure results will display in the bottom of the map. When finished measuring, the tool can be turned off by clicking measure button again.
