Display Control Window

The Display Control Window shows a list of open datasets and their various feature types. These components are displayed as a hierarchy of levels that can be turned on or off, from entire datasets down to individual feature types.

Hover over each node to display basic information about the data, such as dataset or feature type name, coordinate system, source path, data format, and geometry types.

When viewing data in 2D mode, you can use the Display Control to adjust the way feature types are rendered in the View Window . For example, you can make adjustments to color, opacity, point size, and border width. Click inside the square beside a feature type, or right-click a feature type and select Drawing Style. In the Geometry Drawing Styles dialog, the drawing options available to adjust depend on whether the feature type geometry is an area, line, point, raster, or point cloud.
