3 VectOr 1. GENERAL PURPOSE OF VECTOR MAP EDITOR To activate Map editor icon panel, select Tools / Map editor option from the main menu. Vector Map Editor is an integrated module of PHOTOMOD VectOr system and is used to create and edit (update) vector digital maps. 2. VECTOR MAP EDITOR MANAGING Map editor icon panel is located at the left part of the main system window. There are two modes of map editor panel visualization: 1 standard, 2 professional. Map editor panel includes a set of icons, each of them corresponds to the appropriate editing mode. Professional panel also contains icons that correspond to another set of creating and editing tools. Pressing such icon opens another icon panel consisting of buttons that correspond to additional editing tools. To call some editing function you should click on the appropriate icon from the map editor icon panel. Each icon accompanies by a tool-tip with a short function description. If an operator has started some editing process and did not finish it switching to another process is not available. Once any editing operation is complete vector data is saved to the corresponding file. In case of a system failure after completing object editing, vector data that was entered is not lost. All tools related to screen image handling (color, scale, object list, map background, etc) are available while editing and may be used any time to change the characteristics listed above for the user s convenience.

4 PHOTOMOD 3. ADDING A NEW OBJECT TO THE MAP 3.1. General information Fig. 2. Map object types Vector objects included to the digital map may be divided into 6 following types (see Fig. 2) - Area (polygons); - Linear (lines); - Points (raster symbols); - Text (labels); - Vector (oriented points); - Templates (complex labels) Methods of adding a new object to the map You can add a new object to the digital map using tools of Map editor. The object description is store in the map symbol library (digital classifier). There are several ways to add an object to the map. 1. The main method click on Create icon of the Map editor icon panel, select an object you need from the map classifier and place it on a map. 2. It is recommended to select object in the following order:

5 VectOr Fig.3. Selecting object type from the classifier Select a map you need to add an object to. It is necessary only if there are several user maps included to the Work region. In this mode you can add an object to any currently active map. Note that the maps included to the work region may use different map symbol libraries (classifiers). Select an object type Select a layer you want the adding object to be belonged to. Select the object name. Select the method of object drawing (polygon, rectangle, horizontal rectangle, vertical rectangle, circle and so on). Besides you can add an object by typing the coordinate values from keyboard or by importing them from a text file. Press Select button. 3. Select an object from the previously created Map legend and put it on a map (Fig.1 (27)) 4. If some objects of the same type already exist on a map you can use Creating object with a code of the existing one mode (Fig.1 (1)). 5. Create a full copy of existing object and put it on a place you need (Fig.1 (4)) 6. Move an object or an object group from a user map (Fig.1 (5,6)) 7. Create a buffer zone around some vector object (Tools / Map computer tools) and save it as a vector object 8. Create an object by merging a couple of the existing ones (Fig.1 (17)) Besides, you can add to a User map vector objects that are not described in the classifier ( graphic objects ). Those objects are (Fig.1): - line (Fig.1 (8)); - polygon (Fig.1 (9)); - map symbol (Fig.1 (10)); - label (Fig.1 (7)). When working with Graphic objects its up to user to set the object displaying style (Fig. 4-7). 5 RACURS Co., Ul. Yaroslavskaya, 13-A, office 15, , Moscow, Russia

7 VectOr 3.3. Methods of the object creation Fig.7. Raster symbol style settings While adding an object to the map user has to select a method of object drawing. PHOTOMOD VectOr supports following object drawing modes: - arbitrary line; - horizontal rectangle; - rotated rectangle; - multi rectangle; - circle (circumference) of fixed radius; - circle (circumference) of arbitrary radius; - interactive vectorization (tracing raster lines); - by coordinates retrieved from a text file; - by coordinates entered from a keyboard; - parallel line; - smoothing spline; - describing spline; - circumference (circle), set by three points; - ellipse Arbitrary line Working in the Arbitrary line mode object vertices are put on a map by the mouse cursor (left mouse button click). If the vertex to be added is located too close to the screen side the image is scrolled automatically and the screen center moves to the last entered vertex. Use backspace key or an option called Delete last vertex (popup menu that opens by right mouse button) to remove last entered point. All auxiliary modes of copying (L, I, D, T, P), orientation (H, V, F) and navigation (M, N, X) are available while a line or polygon object creation. See chapter for details. This mode is available for creation of any type object. Linear object or label is saved automatically after entering its second vertex. Point object is saved after releasing left mouse button (while the left mouse button is pressed you can position the cursor precisely). To save line or polygon you can either double click left mouse button or press left and right mouse buttons simultaneously or press Ctrl+left mouse button or press Ctrl+Enter or select Commit operation from pop-up menu (opened by right mouse button). We will refer to any of these operations as Complete operation below. Use following button combination to cancel object creating operation: Ctrl+right mouse button, Ctrl-C or Undo operation from the pop-up menu. All of these combinations are referred to as Cancel operation below. 7 RACURS Co., Ul. Yaroslavskaya, 13-A, office 15, , Moscow, Russia

8 PHOTOMOD Horizontal rectangle To add a horizontal rectangle you should click on its two diagonal corners by left mouse button Rotated rectangle Rotated rectangle is added by clicking on its three corners like shown on the picture. For the first two corners I and T auxiliary copy modes are available. See a description of auxiliary object creation modes in the chapter Multirectangle To create a multirectangle you should set corners of its largest side first and then continue adding corners (every second corner). To add a corner press left mouse button. Intermediate vertices are created automatically at the intersections of a straight line, which is parallel to the first side and goes through the current point and the perpendicular to the first side which goes through the previous point. Thus all polygon segments are connected at the right angles. For the first two corners I and T auxiliary copy modes are available. See a description of auxiliary object creation modes in the chapter Circumference (circle) of fixed radius To create a circle of fixed radius you should set its central point on a map (left mouse button). You can use I and T object creating modes to snap the circle center to some existing vector object. Then you have to set the circle radius in meters or kilometers

9 VectOr Circumference (circle) of arbitrary radius To create a circle of arbitrary radius you should click on its center and set a radius by mouse. Use I and T object creation modes to snap the circle to the existing vector objects. See a chapter for details Interactive vectorization (tracing) Interactive vectorization is a combination of automatic tracing raster line elements (process stops at the line intersections or line breaks) and manual vectorization over the underlying raster. To start a vectorization you should pick the first vertex of the vector line (by left mouse button or by sing auxiliary vector creating modes see chapter 4.1.5). Then you can add vertices the same way, copy vertices or start the tracing process. To start interactive vectorization you should define the line direction by mouse cursor and activate tracing by O key (without pressing mouse buttons). The mouse cursor should be placed over the raster line element. To save vector line, use standard Complete operation see chapter Creating map objects by coordinates read from a text file You can add to a map a vector object or a set of vector objects of the same type, which are described in a text file with.met extension. Following is a format of.met file. Field Meaning Comment MET File beginning keyword Obligatory field BEGIN Information section beginning Obligatory field keyword # New object keyword Obligatory field END Information section ending keyword Obligatory field XY Rectangular coordinates (m) RAD Radians GRAD Degrees GMS Degrees, minutes, seconds SEM Attributive information, For example. SEM CODE VALUE CODE attribute code, VALUE attribute value Separate string is reserved for every attribute / Comment Tab.1. Reserved fields of the.met file - Keywords must start at the first string character. - MET, BEGIN, END are obligatory fields. - File sections corresponding to different map objects are separated by symbol #. After this character there may be symbol R (coordinates in reverted system Y, X) or H (coordinates of 3D objects X, Y, H) 9 RACURS Co., Ul. Yaroslavskaya, 13-A, office 15, , Moscow, Russia

10 PHOTOMOD - Sections bounded by # symbols may contain only strings with coordinate values or strings with comments (started with symbol / ) - By default (or in case of XY keyword) objects are created in rectangular coordinate system (coordinates are in meters) - In case of RAD keyword object coordinates are in radians (geodetic coordinate system Latitude, Longitude) In case of GRAD keyword object coordinates are in radians (geodetic coordinate system Latitude, Longitude). For example: # The range of latitude values is 0-90 (north) and (south). Longitude value can change from 0 to 360 (or from (east) and from 0 to 180(west)) degrees. - In case of GMS keyword the coordinates are entered as degrees, minutes, seconds: # The range of latitude values is 0-90 (north) and (south). Longitude value can change from 0 to 360 (or from (east) and from 0 to 180(west)) degrees. - The same text file may contain object coordinates in different coordinate systems. - When creating an object in rectangular coordinate system you should keep in mind that the entering objects should be georeferenced to the same coordinate system (and to the same zone for topographic maps) as a map they are to be added to. - You can add some attributive information to the objects in the text file. In order of this use SEM keyword. SEM keyword is followed by space, semantics code, space, semantics value. For example SEM 9 Hastings - You can use add an object in geodetic coordinates to the map only in case when the map supports the conversion of rectangular and geodetic coordinates. To check it open Parameters dialog (main menu of PHOTOMOD VectOr) and try to change current map coordinate system to the geodetic one. In case of successful conversion you can add objects in geodetic coordinate system to the map. - Usually text file contains map objects of the same type. If you need to create objects of different types, it is recommended to put them to separate text files. Sample of a text file: MET BEGIN // Creating point objects in radians RAD # # // Creating point objects in degrees GRAD # // Creating point objects in meters XY

11 VectOr # #R #H SEM # // Creating line objects in degrees, minutes, seconds GMS # # END Parallel line Vector object Parallel line is defined by its axis line that is vectorized in the standard way and the Width parameter. You can change the width of line while object creation by + and - keys. Besides, you can set a fixed value of the width in mm on the map or in m on the terrain using Map editor options (Zone width). Use backspace key or an option called Delete last vertex (pop-up menu that opens by right mouse button) to remove last entered point. Use Complete operation to save the created line (chapter 4.1.5) Smoothing spline This mode can be used for creating lines, polygons and labels. Source object vertices are added by left mouse button. The final object is a smooth curve, calculated as a spline. In general case it does not go through vertices of the source object. So you may use splines for objects that does not require exact positioning on the map (labels, region borders and so on) To create a label along a curve you need: 1. Set object type to Label in the Object creation window (Fig. 3). 2. Select a layer you want a label to be added to. Usually all labels are stored in the layer called Names and Labels but you can put your labels to some different layer. 3. Select a label type (in fact it is font). Since your label should be placed along a curve you have to select non-horizontal font. The sample of such a font is placed along a diagonal in the Sample window, while horizontal font sample is placed along a horizontal line (Fig. 4a, 4b) 4. Set Object creating mode to Smoothing spline. 5. Press Select button. 6. Type a label text (Fig. 4c). 11 RACURS Co., Ul. Yaroslavskaya, 13-A, office 15, , Moscow, Russia

12 PHOTOMOD 7. Add a label to the map by vectorizing corresponding base line (vertices are added by left mouse button) Fig 4а. Horizontal font Fig. 4b. Non-horizontal font Fig 4с. Typing label text Use backspace key or an option called Delete last vertex (pop-up menu that opens by right mouse button) to remove last entered point. Use Complete operation to save the created line (chapter 4.1.5) Describing spline The difference between smoothing and describing splines is that the describing spline is a curve, which exactly goes through the vertices of the source multiline. Thus, the describing spline can be used to vectorize cartographic elements such as rivers, contour lines, roads and so on. Use left mouse button to add source object vertices. Use backspace key or an option called Delete last vertex (pop-up menu that opens by right mouse button) to remove last entered point. Use Complete operation to save the created line (chapter 4.1.5) Entering coordinates from the keyboard In this mode you should just enter coordinate values of object vertices from keyboard. You can switch between geodetic and rectangular coordinate systems while entering. Current point coordinates may be also calculated by entering the direction value (azimuth angle) and the distance from the previous point (Direct geodetic task)

13 VectOr Fig.5. Creating object by coordinates Circumference defined by three points This mode is useful when you need to create a circle whose center can be hardly defined. While a circle creating you have to enter three points located on its circumference. Once the third point is added the object is saved automatically Ellipse automatically. To create an ellipse you should set its center and big semi-axis. Small semiaxis value is calculated proportionally. Center and side points are set by left mouse button. Once the second point is added the object is saved Interdependence of object type and object creating mode Spatial (metric) description of objects of different types may be characterized as follows: - Point object one point; 13 RACURS Co., Ul. Yaroslavskaya, 13-A, office 15, , Moscow, Russia

14 PHOTOMOD - line object sequence of points; - polygon object sequence of points in which coordinates of the first point are equal to the coordinates of the last point; - vector object two points; - straight label two points; - curve label sequence of point pairs; - set of point sequences. Thus it is clear that for example there is no way to create a point object in Parallel line creating mode. Once you have set an object type you can see that some of object creating modes get unavailable. It means that you can not these modes for creating an object of selected type. A table below illustrates availability of object creating modes depending on the object type. Types and creating modes that are not currently implemented colored by gray. Object type Creating mode Line Poly Point Label Vector Tm plt Arbitrary line Horizontal rectangle Rotated rectangle Multirectangle Circle of fixed radius Circle of arbitrary radius Interactive vectorization (tracing) From text file From keyboard Parallel line Smoothing spline Describing spline Circle by three points Ellipse implemented developing no way Tab. 2. Availability of object creating modes based on the object type 4. OBJECT EDITING 4.1. General information Map object editing operations may be applied to selected vector object. So if you want to edit some object you should select it first. When editing (or creating) operation is complete the edited object is still selected so you can switch to another editing operation and continue editing. This option (keeping selection after editing) may be turned off in Map editor options dialog

15 VectOr Some editing operations are available for a group of objects. For example Deleting marked objects. Such objects should be previously marked (not selected) by using Mark icon or Search / Search and Mark menu. Although File menu contain an option Save as you may not save a map after editing session since every edited object is saved right after completing the editing operation. The previous map state is also saved automatically in a separate file. So you can restore map objects unless the map is Sorted. Use Restore edited objects in order to restore map objects Map editor options Map editor options are saved when exiting PHOTOMOD VectOr and memorized for its future sessions. Fig.6. Map editor options Cutting objects by map sheet border If this option is on all map objects are cut by map sheet borders (if the work region consists of several map sheet). Note that the map must contain objects called Map border Cutting objects by parent map border In this case vector objects that are located on several map sheets will be cut by a border of a first map sheet. First map sheet is a sheet, which contains first vertex of an object Add semantics when object creating Turn this option off if you do not need to input object attributes when object creating. Obligatory attributes will be assigned automatically using default values. 15 RACURS Co., Ul. Yaroslavskaya, 13-A, office 15, , Moscow, Russia

16 PHOTOMOD No map border editing It is not recommended to edit Map border object since the map sheet is georeferenced on the base of it. Any map border editing may cause undesirable results. Set this option on to prohibit map border editing Unselect object after saving If this option is on every edited object gets unselected once the editing operation is done. In this case you should select it again if you need to continue its editing Digitizing step The distance between adjacent vertices when auto-tracing. This parameter defines how smooth are the output vector lines in interactive vectorization process (tracing) Width of parallel line This parameter use to set a width of a parallel line object (see section 3.3.9). You can also use + and - keys to increase and decrease a width of the parallel line respectively Join tolerance This parameter is used by Joining object process. The objects are joined if the distance between them is smaller than Join tolerance parameter value Filtering level This parameter is used by Object filtering process. This process removes an object vertex if the distance between it and the segment connecting the previous and the next vertex is smaller than Filtering level parameter. The recommended value is Spline order The order of spline used by Smoothing spline and Describing spline modes of object creation Object selection Object selection may be done by pressing left mouse button or the Enter key when the cursor is placed over the vector object. The information associated with the object is displayed in the Select object dialog. Press Select button for final object selection. As a result the object is displayed by red color. If Next and/or Prev buttons of the dialog are active, there are several map objects under the cursor. You can use these buttons to switch between them

17 VectOr Once an object is selected you can edit it or use it in different measurement operations. In case if some map editor mode is active when object selection, Select object dialog is not opened and the object to be selected starts blinking. There is a brief information associated with this object at the title of the main window. To go to the next object under the cursor press again left mouse button or the Enter key. To confirm object selection press left and right mouse buttons simultaneously, double click by left mouse button or press left mouse button and the Ctrl key. Move mouse cursor significantly, press right mouse button or press Esc key to cancel object selection. You can open Select object dialog while object blinking by pressing Spacebar. For fast object selection press Ctrl + left mouse button. In this case the object gets selected without opening Select object dialog Canceling object selection There are following ways to cancel object selection: select a new object; press Cancel in Select object dialog; press Ctrl and right mouse button; cancel selection in pull down menu which is opened by right mouse button Object part selection The selection of object part (fragment) may be done by selecting its two (for line objects) or three (for polygon object) vertices. Select vertices by left mouse button. Object part selection is needed for editing or measuring operations, which work with an object fragment. When some of these modes are active there is a message Select object part at the bottom part of the main map editor window Auxiliary object creating modes Auxiliary object creating modes are used to establish spatial topological relationships between map objects belonging to one or different map layers. By using auxiliary object creating modes you can copy a vertex or a part of existing object to a creating one with or without creating nodes. Auxiliary object creating mode may be activated be selection of a corresponding option of pop-up (by right mouse button) menu or by pressing an appropriate key on the keyboard. Since the text below often refers to the term PSEUDO-POINT it is a good idea to explain it. There is an object fragment on the figure bounded by points (vertices) 1 and 2. These points are real since they are included to the object metrics. Pseudo-point can be located anywhere between real points. Of course it also lies exactly on the vector line. Auxiliary modes of the object creation includes: I - Copying real point. T Copying pseudo-point with a node creation. D - Copying pseudo-point without a node creation. K Copying of an object part, bounded by pseudo-points. P - Copying of an object part, bounded by real points. 17 RACURS Co., Ul. Yaroslavskaya, 13-A, office 15, , Moscow, Russia

18 PHOTOMOD H Creating horizontal line. V Creating vertical line. F - Canceling H and V modes. R Selection of current raster (for auto-tracing). M Memorizing cursor position on a map. N Go to previous memorized cursor position. O Starting auto-tracing (interactive vectorization) Copying real point ( I ) This mode is useful if you want to create object that exactly goes through already existing ones. For example you «draw» electric power line connecting existing piers (point objects). To activate Copying real point mode, press I key. Then select object, used for snapping to, and start drawing. Press I for each vertex should be snapped to existing point. You can use any objects to be snapped to (in case of lines and polygons their vertices are used for snapping) Copying pseudo-point with a node creation ( T ) This mode is pretty much similar to previous one, except that now you use not existing vertex for snapping to, it can be located anywhere on selected line. In other words this mode works like snapping to object and previous one provides snapping to object vertices. Node is created in every snapped vertex in this mode Copying pseudo-point without a node creation ( D ) Mode is just like the previous one, but without node creation. It can be useful when the creating object is to be snapped to the map border (or another not-editable object) and there should not be nodes on it Copying object fragment bounded by pseudo-points ( K ) This mode is useful if created and existing objects should have common part (fragment). Fragment selection is making by 3 points - (start, middle, end of fragment). Second point can be equal to the first or third one. So in this case only 2 points are used for fragment selection. However if source object is a polygon always use 3 points. Once copying is done nodes are created at the first and third snapping points Copying object fragment bounded by real points ( P ) Mode is similar to the previous one, except that, only vertices can be used for fragment selection Creating horizontal line ( H ) Mode of horizontal line drawing (X=const)

19 VectOr Creating vertical line ( V ) Mode of horizontal line drawing (X=const) Cancellation of H and V modes ( F ) Switching to arbitrary line drawing Current raster selection (auto-tracing) (R) While tracing, it is possible to create an object over several opened rasters Memorizing cursor position on a map (M) Used to memorize a cursor position on a map in order to go to this map area later. You can memorize up to 20 cursor positions Go to previously memorized point (N) To scroll a screen in such a way that the memorized point is placed in the middle of the window Starting automatic vectorization (tracing)(o) Used to start a process of tracing raster line elements. 5. USING MAP LEGEND FOR QUICK OBJECT TYPE SELECTION WHEN ADDING IT TO A MAP Usually the map classifier is universal and comprehensive (thousands of objects). It may contain a lot of objects that are not needed in the current vector map. To avoid listing through a huge number of objects in the classifier you may use your own map legend. The map legend is created by user and may include up to 120 map symbols. Map legend is organized as a set of icon bars (up to 10 bars). You can assign to each bar a unique name for more convenience. Map legend is linked to a classifier corresponding to the current map. Once the map is changed to corresponding map legend is changed automatically. To select a map symbol from the map legend click on the appropriate icon. You can change a map symbol properties by clicking on the corresponding icon be the right mouse button. 6. THE ORDER OF MAP OBJECTS VECTORIZATION 19 RACURS Co., Ul. Yaroslavskaya, 13-A, office 15, , Moscow, Russia

20 PHOTOMOD While defining the vectorization order you should be based on the object reliance criteria. The points of state and local geodetic networks should be vectorized first. Then you should add objects to a map in the following order: a). Polygon, line and vector hydrology objects b). Relief objects. While digitizing, the relief objects are to be coordinated with previously created hydrology objects. Hydrology objects have higher priority. c). Populated localities and industrial and social objects. Locality outlines should be coordinated with the previously created hydrological objects. So you should use Copy (Snapping) creating modes when digitizing for example a town placed along the riverbank. d). Roads. While roads digitizing you should add line objects first and then add point and vector objects in Copy (Snapping) mode. e). Vegetation. Vegetation objects are to be spatially coordinated with previously created hydrological objects. Hydrological objects have higher priority
