Map Modes

The map mode related functions allow you to set the Active mode, read the currently active mode and listen for mode changes. The active mode defines how OFM interacts with the user.

  • Use the setActiveMode() and getActiveMode() functions to set and retrieve the active mode.
  • You can also use the addActiveModeChangeListener() functions to add a function that's notified whenever the active mode changes.

Mode grid

These are the available modes :

Mode name Comment
pan Allows the user to pan around by clicking the map (which centers the clicked coordinate) or dragging the map.
zoomin Allows the user to zoom into a certain area, marked by a bounding box created by dragging the map.
zoomout Allows the user to zoom out of a certain area by clicking on the map (centering on the clicked location)
zoomsmart Allows the user to zoom in and out by respectively dragging the map down or up.
query Allows the user to select objects by clicking or dragging on the map. This triggers a new selection event.
subquery Allows the user to activate a selected object, by clicking on the map. Doing this triggers a new attribute rows event.
hyperlink Allows the user to click on the map and open a hyperlink (if there's a hyperlink at the clicked location).
measure Allows the user to draw a polyline on top of the map, and read its length and defined area.

Startup mode

Which mode OFM starts up with is defined by the StartupMode setting of the UI configuration file.

Calling setActiveMode() doesn't work if the provided mode is not available in the current toolbar.
If OFM is running in decorationless mode, the modes should be available if the toolbar were visible.
See UI configuration to learn more about configuring OFM's toolbar&buttons.
