select

Selection of various items in the object, like Markers, Polygons or Radial Spheres (Circles).
Any number of items can be marked by combining single selection (Ctrl+Shift+click) and multi selection (Ctrl+drag). The actual selection won't be executed until the control key is released or the selection is confirmed by clicking the green OK-Button.
Only a double click/tap on a object causes an instant single selection.
The small flip switch below the OK button allows to switch between default and toggle selection mode.

Layerswitcher

This button allows a very easy "turn on/off" of all configured layers in the object like the Markers, Maps, Lines, Background, ...
Just tick or untick them as you need.
Unticking layers don't mean they're disabled - they are simply not visible. If a layer is actually not needed, disable it in the properties menu for better performance.
In the Expert Settings a custom name can be configured for each layer. These captions will be displayed in the Layerswitcher, as well as in the Selection Menu.

markerinpolygons

This button enables a feature for automatic allocation of Markers to their respective geographically related Polygon.
When clicking on the button, the system checks for each Polygon which Markers are located on them and lists them in a text file ".txt" when finished. Markers that possibly don't fit to any Polygon are listed at the end of the file with the attribution "unknown". Save the file and load it in the QlikView script to link the Markers with Polygons in your App.

In this way Markers and Polygons on a map can be connected just because of their geography.

Zoom Buttons

You can also use the mouse wheel or a double click in the background for zooming in one level.

Configure them in chapter Expert Settings.

 

Object Title

The object title is located in the upper left corner of the NPGeoMap object.
By default it is "NPGeoMap" and the currently used version number.
