Toolbox
\\n
Basemap
\\n
The basemap dropdown allows the selection of the source of the underlying imagery on the map. Only one basemap can be active at a time.
\\n
Four basemap options are available. They are the Hybrid, Roads, Aerial, or Dark.
\\n
Hybrid
\\n
The Hybrid basemap contains political features like cities and roads on top of a satellite imagery layer
\\n
Roads
\\n
The Roads basemap contains political boundaries and features, as well as basic geographic features such as lakes, rivers, and wetlands.
\\n
Aerial
\\n
The Aerial basemap is a pure satellite layer with no political features.
\\n
Dark
\\n
The Dark basemap is a non-satellite imagery layer with very dark styling.\\n This layer can provide better contrast with the lightly coloured soil polygons, particularly when a query result contains a small number of soil polygons.
\\n\\n
Theme
\\n
The theme dropdown changes the styling of the soil polygons based on predefined categories.
\\n
Six themes are available. They are soil zone, map unit, agricultural capability, texture, salinity effect on production, and pH.
\\n\\n
Adjust polygon transparency (Opacity)
\\n
The Soil polygon opacity can be adjusted using the slider to allow a view of the Basemap.\\n Adjusting the opacity of the polygons can allow inspection of the soil boundaries with geographic context provided by the also visible basemap.
\\n\\n
Layers
\\n
The layers section is used to turn the display of each layer on and off by the use of the check boxes.
\\n\\n
Point Datatypes
\\n
A variety of point datatypes are stored by SKSIS. They are photos, soil pits, publications, and observations. By checking the associated box,\\n map indicators of the presence of each point datatpye will be togged on or off.
\\n\\n
Querybox
\\n
Filtering
\\n
The filtering tools allow the selection and display of polygons that meet certain criteria specified with the dropdown menus. SKSIS allows querying\\n on dominant slope class, dominant slope length, salinity class, irrigation potential, surface texture, secondary texture, pH, past erosion class, stoniness class, and map unit.
\\n\\n
Searching
\\n
The search tools allow one to center the map to certain geographic locations without scrolling. The type of search tab is selected and then the requested \\n information can then be selected or entered to perform the search.
\\n\\n
Soil Info Box
\\n
The soil infobox provides on the fly information such as the latitude and longitude of a click on the map, the latitude and logitude of the mouse on the map, and the\\n current scale of the map.
\\n
Upon clicking on a polygon, the soil info box will display information related to that polygon and its components.\\n When the section lines are visible on the screen the legal land description is also provided.
