Basic mode

The basic mode restricts the set of tools to a minimum to focus on display and map interaction. When clicking on “Basic” the toolbar on the left side of the map will display the following icons:

• Home view (🏠): Pans and zooms the map view to the home view after and displays all seven Equi7Grid zones.

• Zone toggle (🧱): Toggle for displaying the 7 continental zones.

• Tiling toggle (🔷): Toggle for displaying a basic tiling set (can be changed in the expert mode with the layer manager (📚)).

• Display settings (🔩): Change transparency and stroke width of the tilings.

Note

The layer manager (📚) defines what tilings are displayed, which is synchronised with 🔷 in the “Basic” mode. Thus, when switching from “Basic” to “Expert” without displaying tilings (🔷 was not clicked) and then back to “Basic” again, 🔷 does not do anything, because no tiling is set visible in the layer manager.
