With data populated in the Display window, the display can be adjusted as needed to suit the data or a particular task.
The Properties window provides options for adjusting the display of the data. When a layer is selected in the Layers window, the Properties window is populated with properties for the selected layer.
The properties enabled in the window will differ based on the type of data the layer contains. Defining properties adjusts the display of data in the Display window; it does not alter the data itself. Property values must be re-entered each time the application is started.
The Colour properties, which are available for most data formats, allow the data to be coloured according to data values by applying a colour map or a colour range file. These files are created in the Colour Map Editor and the Colour Range Editor.
The Drape property, also in the Colour properties, allows an image to be draped over a raster data layer. See Draping Images for information on this property.
See Properties Window for information on the other properties that can be used to adjust the display of data in the 2D view.
