    4 [[Image(source:trunk/images/dialogs/layerlist.png)]] ''Keyboard shortcut'': **{{{Alt+L}}}**
     5[[JOSMImage(dialogs/layerlist,link=,48,middle,margin-right=20)]] ''Keyboard shortcut'': **`Shift+Alt+L`** - one of the [wikitr:/Help/ToggleDialogs#Toactivateawindow JOSM panels]
    56
    6 **List of currently loaded layers.**
     7The Layers panel lists all loaded layers, controls their visibility and allows to activate one layer for editing map content.
    78
    8 == Showing and Hiding the Layer List Dialog Window ==
    9  * Show or hide the Layer List Dialog Window by clicking on [[Image(source:trunk/images/dialogs/layerlist.png,20)]] in the tool palette on the left of the JOSM main window.
    10  * Show the Layer List Dialog Window by pressing **{{{Alt+L}}}**.
     9== Layer types ==#Layertypes
     10 * [[JOSMImage(layer/osmdata_small,24,middle,link=)]] [wikitr:/Help/Menu/OSMLayer Data layer] -
     11   Holds [wikitr:/Help/Concepts/Object map objects] as data set. A [[JOSMImage(clock,middle,24,link=)]] clock indicates an running upload. \\
     12   Editing, downloading and uploading data may be restricted by the [wikitr:/Help/Menu/OSMLayer#LayerState layer state]. \\
     13   The indicators **Ø** ''(empty)'' and '''*''' ''(modified)'' are placed at the end of the line behind the name.
     14 * [[JOSMImage(layer/gpx_small,24,bottom,link=)]] [wikitr:/Help/Menu/GPXLayer GPX layer] -
     15   Holds GPS track data.
     16   Each GPX layer can have own properties like color, line style, etc.
     17 * [[JOSMImage(layer/marker_small,24,middle,link=)]] [wikitr:/Help/Menu/Marker Marker Layer] -
     18   Holds identified points on a GPX track, called ''Markers''.   
     19 * [[JOSMImage(dialogs/geoimage,24,middle,link=)]] [wikitr:/Help/Menu/PhotoLayer Geoimage layer] -
     20   Holds images which were [wikitr:/Help/Action/Open opened], dragged on the [wikitr:/Help/MapView Mapview] or imported via a GPX layer.
     21 * [[JOSMImage(wikimedia_commons,link=,middle,24)]] Wikimedia Commons - [wikitr:/Help/Menu/PhotoLayer Geoimage layer] for images downloaded with [wikitr:/Help/Action/WikimediaCommonsLoader Load images from Wikimedia Commons].
     22 * [[JOSMImage(imagery_menu)]] [wikitr:/Help/Menu/ImageryContextMenu Imagery Layer] -
     23   Holds a background retrieved from a tile server like Bing Aerial or other [wikitr:/Help/Menu/Imagery imagery].
     24 * [[JOSMImage(dialogs/validator)]] [wikitr:/Help/Menu/Validator Validator layer] -
     25   Highlights errors or [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/Validator warnings] for objects on the active data layer.
     26 * [[JOSMImage(dialogs/notes/note_open)]] [wikitr:/Help/Menu/Notes Notes layer] -
     27   Holds [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/Notes Notes] from [osmwiki:Notes OSM].
    1128
    12 == Layer types ==
     29Layers of one type can exist multiple times in a JOSM session, except the validator and the notes layer. [wikitr:/Plugins Plugins] (e.g. [osmwiki:JOSM/Plugins/Mapillary Mapillary]) can add other layer types.
    1330
    14 There are different types of layers. Each has a Context Menu accessed from the right mouse button which provides operations on the layer.
     31== Layer Buttons ==#LayerButtons
     32[[Image(LayerList.png,right,margin-left=10)]]
     33Each layer has some buttons or clickable areas in its row in the layer list:
    1534
    16  * [[Image(source:trunk/images/layer/osmdata_small.png)]] **OSM Data** Layer [wiki:Help/Menu/OSMLayer (menu)]: holds the OpenStreetMap data (nodes, ways, relations ...).
    17  * [[Image(source:trunk/images/layer/gpx_small.png)]] **GPX** Layer [wiki:Help/Menu/GPXLayer (menu)]: holds the GPS data loaded from your local hard disk (by using the open dialog to load GPX files) or from openstreetmap. The context menu (right mouse click on layer in layer list) allows to set special properties for different gps layers (different colors, line style, etc.).
    18  * [[Image(source:trunk/images/layer/marker_small.png)]] **Marker** Layer [wiki:Help/Menu/Marker (menu)]: Markers are specially identified points on the track. They come in four varieties: simple named markers, audio markers, image markers and web markers. They are created as a side effect of opening a GPX file, containing waypoints from that file, or from a set of waypoints artificially constructed using the context menu entry Make Sampled Audio Layer on the GPX layer, which produces only audio markers.
    19  * [[Image(source:trunk/images/dialogs/geoimage.png,15)]] **Photo** Layer [wiki:Help/Menu/PhotoLayer (menu)]: the context menu (right mouse) of a GPS layer provides the menu to import images. Using this feature allows to match digital images with the gps coordinates to ease the naming of streets (for example).
    20  * [[Image(source:trunk/images/imagery_small.png)]] **Imagery** Layer [wiki:Help/Menu/ImageryContextMenu (menu)]: backgrounds retrieved from a WMS server. Examples are Landsat satellite imagery, Yahoo satellite imagery, Bing Aerial, NPE out-of-copyright Ordnance Survey maps and OpenStreetMap map tiles. See also [wiki:Help/Menu/Imagery Imagery].
    21  * [[Image(source:trunk/images/layer/validator_small.png)]] **Validator** Layer [wiki:Help/Menu/Validator (menu)]. See also [wiki:Help/Dialog/Validator Validator Dialog]

    23 == Panel Buttons ==
    24 The Layer List Dialog also has several buttons at the bottom which operate on the selected layers:
     45=== Panel Buttons ===#PanelButtons
     46{{{#!comment
     47#PanelButtons target is called from Help/MapView
     48}}}
     49The Layers List has five buttons at its bottom which operate on the marked layers:
    2550
    26 === Move Up === #LayerUp
    27 [[Image(source:trunk/images/dialogs/up.png)]] **Up** moves the selected layers up one row in the layer stack.
    28  This is important when items in one layer obscure those in layers below.
     51==== Move Up ==== #LayerUp
     52[[JOSMImage(dialogs/up,24,bottom,margin-right=10,link=)]] **Up** moves the selected layers up one row in the layer stack.
     53 This is important when items in one layer obscure those in layers below. You can reorder layers also by drag and drop.
    2954
    30 === Move Down === #LayerDown
    31 [[Image(source:trunk/images/dialogs/down.png)]] **Down** moves the selected layers down one row in the layer stack.
    32  This is important when items in one layer obscure those in layers below.
     55==== Move Down ==== #LayerDown
     56[[JOSMImage(dialogs/down,24,bottom,margin-right=10,link=)]] **Down** moves the marked layers down one row in the layer stack.
    3357
    34 === Activate Layer === #ActivateLayer
    35 [[Image(source:trunk/images/dialogs/activate.png)]]  ''Keyboard shortcut'': **{{{Shift+A+[0-9]}}}**
     58==== Activate Layer ==== #ActivateLayer
     59[[JOSMImage(dialogs/activate,middle,margin-right=10,link=)]] **Activate** activates the marked layer.
     60 It is only possible to edit map data in an active Data layer. 
     61 Each of the layers can be activated with an individual keyboard shortcut sequence: **`Shift+A` followed by `[1–0A-Z]`** - where `1` is the top layer; counting down to `9`, then `0` which activates 10, then `A-Z`. Press **`Shift+A`** only and wait a second. JOSM will display a list with all layers and their shortcuts in this format.
    3662
    37 **Activate** activates the selected layer.
    38  It is only possible to edit in an active Data layer.
     63==== Visibility ==== #VisibilityLayer
     64[[Image(gpx_colors.png,link=,right,margin-left=10)]]
     65[[JOSMImage(dialogs/layerlist/visibility,middle,margin-right=10,link=)]] Once clicked on, it offers:
     66 * A checkbox to show/hide a layer, i.e. turns visibility of marked layers on or off. The layers are unchanged when hidden, but their contents are not shown. You can also use shortcuts to show/hide a layer, see keyboard shortcuts [#KeyboardShortcuts below].
     67 * A slider to adjust the [[JOSMImage(dialogs/layerlist/transparency,16,bottom,link=)]] **Opacity** of marked layers.
     68 * A slider to adjust the [[JOSMImage(dialogs/layerlist/colorfulness,16,bottom,link=)]] **Colorfulness** of marked layers.
     69 * A slider to adjust the [[JOSMImage(dialogs/layerlist/gamma,16,bottom,link=)]] **Gamma** of marked layers.
     70 * A slider to adjust the [[JOSMImage(dialogs/layerlist/sharpness,16,bottom,link=)]] **Sharpness** of marked layers.
     71 Colorfulness, Gamma and Sharpness are only available for imagery layers.
    3972
    40 === Show/Hide Layer === #ShowHideLayer
    41 [[Image(source:trunk/images/dialogs/showhide.png)]] ''Keyboard shortcut'': **{{{Shift+S+[0-9]}}}**
     73For gpx layers you can choose one of 7 default colors. (Other colors are available via [wikitr:/Help/Action/LayerCustomizeColor Customize Color] in the gpx layer [wikitr:/Help/Menu/GPXLayer context menu]).
    4274
    43 **Show/Hide** turns visibility of selected layers on or off.
    44  The layers are unchanged when hidden, but their contents are not shown.
     75Note: For ease of use you can use mouse scrolling to move a slider while the pointer is placed at the slider – no need to click-drag-release the slider picker.
    4576
    46 === Adjust Opacity === #OpacityLayer
    47 [[Image(source:trunk/images/dialogs/layerlist/transparency.png)]] **Opacity** , once clicked on, offers a bar to adjust the opacity of selected layers in percent. Another click hides the bar again.
     77===== Keyboard Shortcuts ===== #KeyboardShortcuts
     78Following hotkeys are used to control visibility of layers counted from top or bottom:
     79 * **`Shift+S`** followed by **`[1–0A-Z]`** - where `1` is the **''top**'' layer; counting down to `9`, then `0` which toggles 10, then `A-Z`, `S` has a special meaning as it repeats the last toggled layer. Press **`Shift+S`** only and wait a second. JOSM will display a list with all layers and their shortcuts in this format.
     80 * **`Alt+[1–0]`** - where `1` is the **''bottom''** layer; counting up to `9` and then `0` which toggles layer 10. (Use only the numbers above the letters on your keyboard, not the numbers in the numeric keypad.) The layer numbers in this format are displayed by default in the layer list.
    4881
    49 === Merge Layer === #MergeLayer
    50 [[Image(source:trunk/images/dialogs/mergedown.png)]] **[Action/MergeLayer Merge Layer]** merges the selected layers of the same type.
    5182
    52 === Duplicate Layer === #DuplicateLayer
    53 [[Image(source:trunk/images/dialogs/duplicatelayer.png)]] **Duplicate** creates a copy of selected layers.
     83==== Delete Layer ==== #DeleteLayer
     84[[JOSMImage(dialogs/delete,24,middle,margin-right=10,link=)]] **Delete** permanently deletes the marked layers. **All unsaved changes will be discarded! **
     85 If you try to delete an OSM data layer or Notes layer which contains changes, JOSM will open the [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/UnsavedChangesDialog Unsaved Changes dialog], asking to upload and/or save these changes.
    5486
    55 === Delete Layer === #DeleteLayer
    56 [[Image(source:trunk/images/dialogs/delete.png)]] **Delete** permanently deletes the selected layers. **Cannot be undone ! **
    57  If you try to delete OSM data layers which contain changes, JOSM will open the [wiki:Help/Dialog/UnsavedChangesDialog Unsaved Changes Dialog], asking to upload and/or save these changes.
     87==== Individual Buttons ====
     88There might be more buttons depending on the loaded [wikitr:/Plugins plugins], e.g. [[Image(source:osm/applications/editors/josm/plugins/rasterfilters/images/josm_filters_48.png,24,middle,link=)]] [osmwiki:JOSM/Plugins/RasterFilters RasterFilters plugin].
