Annotation and Redlining
10. Annotation and Redlining
Imagine you want to draw some features (points, lines, polygons ...) in your map to
show specific data and/or print it. The outline plugin is what you need.
It allows you to draw features and to annotate them with label texts.
It's also possible to use polygons shapes as a mask layer see "Mask mode". User can
choose between mask or draw mode with radio buttons. See Section 10.2.1,
“outline.ini” for more information.
Shapes colors and styles should be set with specific configuration in the mapfile (See
Section 10.3, “Related Elements in Mapfile”).
The total area of the drawn polygons is displayed on the interface.
