Features

Vector layers are comprised of features, which may be polygons, points or lines.

In addition to geographic coordinates, a feature also includes a set of key-value pairs known as "properties" or "attributes". Attributes can be named arbitrarily and can contain arbitrary JSON data structures (strings, numbers, booleans, null, arrays, and objects).

Visit geojson.org or geojson.io to see examples of features in GeoJSON format, one of the numerous file formats which users may upload to Strato Maps.

Click a feature on the map to see the feature's attributes displayed in the "selected feature" panel.

Add a new feature​

Create a new feature using the draw tools found in the upper right-hand corner of the map.

The draw tools are interactive tools that allow users to create graphics for points, lines, and polygons on a map.

The draw tools can be display or hidden on the map by marking the checkbox in the user interface configuration.

The incorporation of this widget offers users a panel and toolbar equipped with the following tools:
