====== Maptips ======

If you are embedding OFM, you can use the ''setMapTipLayer()'' function to change the active maptip layer.

===== Background =====

Maptips in OFM are an extension of maptips in Orbit GIS.  In OrbitGIS, each model of a dataset can be configured to have a maptip attribute, which is then used as a tooltip.

To enable the display of maptips in OFM, you need to make sure of 2 things : 

  - Is the dataset properly configured? (maptip attribute defined) ((Maptips are defined in the resource description .ord file!))
  - Is OFM properly configured?

==== Configure your Dataset ====

You need to configure your dataset properly, so it knows which of its attributes can be used as maptips.

This is convered in more detail on [[orbitgis:datasets:propreties:contents:dataset_structure_contents#the_maptip_setting|this page]] of the Orbit GIS documentation.

==== Configure OFM ====

If you used the [[orbitgis:print:publish_to_the_web|Publish to the Web]] wizard, you will already have specified your maptip layer and won't need to do anything else.

The bottomline is that the following configuration tag must appear in your [[flashmap:configuration:map|map configuration file]] (''OrbitFlashMapConfig.xml'').  You can only specify one dataset to be used for maptips.

<code xml>
 <MaptipLayer>
  <Layer>DataSetName</Layer>
 </MaptipLayer>
