     15=== Ways === #Ways
    1616[[Image(source:trunk/images/data/way.png)]] A '''way''' is a sequence of nodes. Despite its name a '''way''' doesn't represent ways in the real-world only. An OSM '''way''' is also used to represent a river, the boundaries of a country, or even a building. If a '''way''' is closed, i.e. if the last node is the same as  the first node, it is also called an '''area'''.

    18 === Relations ===
     18=== Relations === #Relations
    1919[[Image(source:trunk/images/data/relation.png)]] A '''relation''' is an sequence of other objects, for instance a sequence of '''ways''' (representing road segments) and '''nodes''' (representing bus stops) which represent a bus route. Each object participating in a '''relation''' can be assigned a '''role''', for instance `stop` for a bus stop in the bus route, or `forward` for a road segment which is part of the bus route from the start to the terminal station.

    45 === Display object ids in Toggle Dialogs === #DisplayObjectsIds
    46 Under '''[Preferences Preferences] -> [Display Settings Display Settings] -> Look and Feel''' it is possible to en- or disable the display of objects ids in the toggle dialogs.

     46* With '''[Menu/File File] -> [[Image(source:trunk/images/downloadprimitive.png)]] [Action/DownloadObject Download object ...]''' (''{{{Ctrl+Shift+O}}}'') it is possible to download '''objects''' by Ids.
     47* '''View -> [[Image(source:trunk/images/about.png)]] [Action/InfoAboutElements Info about Element]''' (''{{{Ctrl+I}}}'') opens the '''objects' pages''' of selected objects on the [http://www.openstreetmap.org OSM website] in your web browser.
