The Description Panel Toolbar provides shortcuts to frequently used Main Menu selection.

Full Expand |
Expands the entire treeview inside the description viewer so that all attributes are displayed. | |
|
Full Collapse |
Collapses the entire treeview inside the description viewer so that all attributes are hidden. | |

Create new mapObject |
New mapObjects cannot be created in this version of LegendBurster - although they can be created in the ArcGIS 8.x version, which is available from Georeference Online Ltd. | |
|
Copies attribute values directly from a shapefile field into mapObject nets by creating a new node for each attribute/attribute value pair. The following conditions apply: (a) The attribute has to be already present in the Ontology Editor, of type Free Text or Free Numeric; (b) The shapefile field from which the values are to be taken has to be "in focus". (c) The create/copy operation should be initiated immediately after left-clicking the mouse on the first mapObject in the mapObject Net Editor window. The attribute/value node will be added immediately below the root attribute for each map object. | ||
|
Opens the "Add Attribute" panel to add a new attribute to the selected entity. | ||
|
Adds an attribute(s) and its value(s) to the semantic net node in focus, and to all other equivalently placed nodes which have the same .dbf field value (for the field in focus) as the record in focus. All nodes which receive such an addition are coloured red. (The value will be selected from whatever is allowed by the available ontology.) For each .dbf field of interest, this function is used to attribute the semantic nets, from the first, through to the last, based on the .dbf field values. Once all the screen is red, all attributes will have been moved from the .dbf field to the semantic nets. The red colouring can then be removed, in preparation for the next cycle of attributing, by clicking on the "Reset" button | ||
|
Delete Attribute |
||
|
Delete All ... |
This is the "delete" equivalent of the "Add Attributes to All" action described above (ie: The node in focus, and all equivalently placed nodes in semantic nets whose .dbf tables have the same value as the value of the in-focus semantic net, will be deleted. (This is normally used to correct errors made with "Add Attributes to All".) | |
|
Search/Edit Mode |
When checked, the treeview is in search mode, in which the user can search for items inside the treeview, but cannot modify the descriptions for the mineralisation models/deposits. Clicking on the button changes the system to Edit Mode (and a pen is displayed on the button). It then becomes possible to edit certain values. Values which influence the underlying structure of the knowledge base may not be edited. These can be changed only by deleting them, and entering the correct values. | |
