[[TranslatedPages]] = Contourmerge Plugin = [[Image(/pluginicon/contourmerge.jar/images/mapmode/contourmerge.png,48,link=,middle,margin-right=20)]] The `contourmerge` plugin helps you to align the contours of areas in JOSM. == Usage == **Step 1 - Select the "cut-nodes"**: * Enable mode, you will need to select (**at least**) two points for every area; but not [#Usagewithways on ways] - there no requirement in minimal node count for ways that are not areas; * Use left mouse click to select point (icon: standard icon add node will appear); use left mouse click to deselect a point (icon with cross will indicate selected point); * After all 2+ points selected, you can pick one of 2+ ''parts'' as ''source geometry'' to move. Hover a mouse over one ''part'' and cursor will be changed to (cursor: move with 4 arrows); **Step 2 - Drag the source contour**: * After you started to drag ''source geometry'', you have options in target geometry. Your ''source geometry'' will change it's shape to a ''target geometry'' shape after mouse hover and ''shortcut icon'' will be displayed; **Step 3 - make adjustments and continue editing as usual**: * Contours will be merged. But if a ''source geometry'' had only one segment left, it will be completely collapsed; * You can repeat steps 2-3 as many times as you want until tool will disabled or there nothing left to merge === Usage on areas === * Regular usage: \\ \\ [[Image(ex1-merge-contour-with-another-countour-usage-on-areas.gif,link=)]] \\ \\ * Complete collapse of the source geometry: \\ \\ [[Image(ex3-merge-contour-with-another-countour-usage-on-areas.gif,link=)]] === Usage with ways ===#Usagewithways Notes on source: * tags on a way will be kept * tags on nodes will be discarded * geometry will be replaced Notes on target: * nothing is changed * No cut points selected (because both objects are ways, not area): \\ \\ [[Image(ex2-merge-contour-with-another-countour-usage-on-ways.gif,link=)]] \\ \\ * multiple source geometries: \\ \\ [[Image(ex4-merge-contour-with-another-countour-usage-on-areas.gif,link=)]] ---- Back to [wikitr:/Plugins#JOSMdocu Plugin Help] \\ Back to [wikitr:/Help Main Help]
