Measurement in comparison to Overlays.

A measurement is the Tygron Platform is an item which allows users to record and inspect spatial data. Measurements can be positioned in the project area using the Measurement Tool and are applied to a grid overlay or to an attribute related to a specific grid overlay.

Measurements are accessible by

Editor → Current Situation (Ribbon tab) → Queries (Ribbon bar) → Measurements

Types

Currently three types of measurements are supported:

  • Point measurement, to inspect the value of a grid overlay for a specific location. Optionally displays values over time in case the overlay supports timeframes.
  • Line measurement, to inspect the variation in values of a grid overlay on the line drawn.
  • Object measurement, to inspect the value of an output attribute of a grid overlay related to that object. Optionally displays values over time in case the overlay supports timeframes.

Adding a measurement

Measurements can be added, inspected, imported and exported using the measuring tool. It is accessible in the navigation panel, by clicking on the icon above the overlay bar.
