Tips and Tricks

Remove View Tab

In some cases dont need to use an ExtJs TabPanel as viewer/composer container. For example if we dont use the MetadataExplorer tool. In these cases if you want you can use a simple ExtJs Panel and change the container type. As you can see from the following code this is very simple by modifying the relevant code inside the Composer.html and Viewer.html files.

        var appTabs = new Ext.Panel({    // Use Ext.Panel as a new container
            region: "center",
	        layout: "fit",               // Set a proper layout for the new container type
            border : false,
            id : "appTabs",
            enableTabScroll: true
        });

Add and customize welcome screen

If you want you can add a welcome sceen during the viewer loading. To do this is very simple by following these steps:

1. Go to the composer.html/viewer.html and uncomment the relative code to import the relavant script

2. MapStore provide for you a default welcome sceen. If you want to customize this please edit the relevant CSS inside the mapstore.css file. The welcome sceen CSS names are:

     #loading-mask, #loading, #loading .loading-indicator
   

Enable the Graticule Plugin

In order to enable the graticule plugin please add the followig property to the 'app' definitions inside the composer.html and/or viewer.html:

showGraticule: true,

Follow aconfiguration example:

     app = new GeoExplorer.Composer({
            ...
            sources: sources,
	        showGraticule: true,
            ...
     }, mapIdentifier, authorization, fullScreen); 

Make attention that this Plugin only work if the map projection is EPSG:4326.
