Page History

This is the Use Cases document for the Visual Exploration Framework (VEF) Viewer Prototype. This page aims to be a guide for the user, to better understand the tools and functionalities of the VEF Prototype and how to use them. This page is being actively updated and will be extended further. 

Use Case: I want to remove items in the LayerTree.

The VEF supports a delete mode that allows users to remove layers and folders from the LayerTree. This can allow the user to only keep the layers and folders that they want to work on. It also enables a cleaner LayerTree. 

...

To disable the delete mode click on the trash bin icon again.

Use Case: I want to edit names of Layers and Folders in the LayerTree.

The Visual Explorer Explorer also supports an edit mode in the LayerTree. This enables the user to change the names of the folders and layers in the LayerTree. This comes in handy particularly when using the DrawTools, as the user can rename the drawn shapes from a generic to names of their choice. 

...

Once done, disable the edit mode by clicking on the edit icon again.

Use Case: I want to use the DrawTools to start planning an expedition.

The short video below shows how the DrawTools can be used as an expedition planner. The user can draw stations as points and track lines as polylines.
