Layers

7 min read

When you are creating complex visualizations, you might find it challenging to keep track of all of the graphic objects on the canvas. The smaller items might be hidden under the larger ones and thus working with them could get difficult. Layers can help you to keep track of your items.

  • Watch video describing this functionality: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uogOzykIuA0

Think of the layers as transparent planes, each containing graphic items that are glued together. If you change the order of the layers, you also change the position (visibility) of the items on the canvas. You can move items within a single layer, or you can group together multiple items spread throughout several layers. If you copy objects, then a new object is copied into the layer of the original object.

Layers can be controlled from two different places. There is a Layer window located above the properties window (toggle its visibility in the main menu – section Windows), and there is a Layer Combo Item located on the GUI Toolbar.

Layer Combo

The Layer Combo option is located on the right side of the GUI Toolbar:

6.15.1

With the Layer Combo option, you can control all aspects of Layers. An explanation of the controls is in the following picture.

6.15.2

Layer Window

The Layer window is activated in the main menu. Go to Window and toggle Layer Window visibility on/off.

6.15.3

The Layer Window and the Layer Combo option are complementary elements; both of them allow you to access all functions of Layers. The Layer window occupies more space, and so it allows for more comfortable control of layers than the Layer Combo option. An explanation of the controls is in the following picture:

6.15.4

Changing Layer Visibility

To change the layer’s visibility, click on the eye icon of the corresponding layer.

TAB + OBR, OBR

Locking selection

You can lock a selection for a given layer by clicking on the Lock icon. If the layer is locked, you will not be able to select any of its elements.

TAB + OBR, OBR

Setting Active Layer

The Active layer is the one into which new objects are drawn. For example, if you set the active layer to a layer named “Background” and then create a new object, this object will be created in the layer called Background. The Active layer cannot be locked, as you cannot create new elements on locked layers.

Setting Active Layer in Layer Combo control

If there is no object selected in your view, the name of the active layer is displayed in the Layer combo control.

6.15.5

To select a new active layer:

1. Make sure you have no object selected in your view. If you have selected objects, use the escape key to unselect all objects or click on a canvas)

2. Click on the Layer Combo control, and list of layers is shown.

3. Click on a layer name, which you want to set as the new Active Layer.

Setting Active Layer in Layer Window

The Active layer is denoted in the Layer Window by the checked checkbox on the left side of the layer control.

6.15.6

To select a new active layer, simply check the checkbox next to the desired layer.

Creating New Layer

To create a new layer, press the “+” button. A new dialog appears; enter the Layer name and confirm. A new layer will be created.

6.15.7

Removing Layer

To remove an existing layer, click on its name and press the “–” button. If the layer you are about to delete contains any graphical objects, you will be presented with a warning:

6.15.8

If you continue, the layer will be deleted along with all the graphical objects it contains.

WARNING: If you delete a layer, all graphical objects contained in the layer will be removed as well. This action cannot be undone.

Selecting all items in given layer

To select all items in given layer, click on the select all items icon.

6.15.9

Changing Layer Name

To change a layer name, double click on the layer name. The Rename dialog will be shown. Change the name and press the OK button.

6.15.10

Special Purpose Layer – ActiveArea

As you might notice, the topmost layer is always a layer named “ActiveArea”. This Layer cannot be removed or shifted. It only contains active areas defined in your views. Active areas are always on top of the rest of your drawings.

Determining Layers of selected objects

If you select an object or multiple objects, the layer containing these objects will be displayed in the Layer Combo box and highlighted in green in the layer list.

6.15.11

. 1 The selected object is on the layer named “Middle Layer”. You can see the name of the layer in the Layer Combo control panel. Note that the name is in bold.

6.15.12

. 2 The selected object is on the layer with the name “Middle Layer.” This is shown in the Layer Window by a green highlight and bold font.

If you select multiple objects belonging to different Layers, the Layer controls will highlight all corresponding layers in green.

  • Note: The Layer Combo box will show the name of the top layer in the selection; its name will not be in bold.

6.15.13

Moving Objects to different Layer

If you want to move objects to a different layer, select the objects on the canvas and then select the desired layer. The selected objects are all moved to the desired layer.

6.15.14

A green highlight shows which layer contains your selected objects. To move the selection to a different layer, just click on the layer name.

6.15.15
