[[TranslatedPages(outdated=WIP to reflect the changes from #8039 (and #10456).)]] [[PageOutline(2-10,Table of Contents)]] = Layers window = [[Image(source:trunk/images/dialogs/layerlist.png)]] ''Keyboard shortcut'': **{{{Shift+Alt+L}}}** — one of the [Help/ToggleDialogs#Toactivateawindow JOSM windows] The Layers panel lists the **loaded layers**, controls their visibility and activates them for editing content. === Layer types === JOSM has several types of layers. * [[Image(source:trunk/images/layer/osmdata_small.png,link=wikitr:/Help/Menu/OSMLayer)]] [wikitr:/Help/Menu/OSMLayer Data layer] - Holds a set of map data [wikitr:/Help/Concepts/Object objects]. These can be edited, up- and downloaded unless the [wikitr:/Help/Menu/OSMLayer#Layerstate layer state] is [[Image(source:trunk/images/warning-small.png,8,link=[wiki:Help/Action/EncourageDiscourageUpload])]] changed or [[Image(lock-16px.svg,13px,link=)]] locked. A [[Image(source:trunk/images/clock.png,15,link=)]] clock indicates an upload. * [[Image(source:trunk/images/layer/gpx_small.png,link=wikitr:/Help/Menu/GPXLayer)]] [wikitr:/Help/Menu/GPXLayer GPX layer] - Holds GPS track data. Each GPX layer can have own properties like color, line style, etc. * [[Image(source:trunk/images/layer/marker_small.png,link=wikitr:/Help/Menu/Marker )]] [wikitr:/Help/Menu/Marker Marker Layer] - Holds identified points on a GPX track, called ''Markers''. They are created in four varieties: [wikitr:/Help/Action/MarkersFromNamedPoints Named], [wikitr:/Help/Action/ImportAudio Audio], [wikitr:/Help/Action/ImportImages Image] and Web. * [[Image(source:trunk/images/dialogs/geoimage.svg,16,link=)]] [wiki:Help/Menu/PhotoLayer Geoimage layer] - Holds images which were [wikitr:/Help/Action/Open opened], dragged on the [wikitr:/Help/MapView Mapview] or imported via a GPX layer. * [[Image(source:trunk/images/imagery_small.png,link=)]] [wikitr:/Help/Menu/ImageryContextMenu Imagery Layer] - Holds a background retrieved from a tile server like Bing Aerial or other [wikitr:/Help/Menu/Imagery imagery]. * [[Image(source:trunk/images/layer/validator_small.png,link=)]] [wiki:Help/Menu/Validator Validator layer] - Highlights errors or [wiki:Help/Dialog/Validator warnings] for objects on the active data layer. * [[Image(source:trunk/images/dialogs/notes/note_open.png,15,link=)]] [wikitr:/Help/Menu/Notes Notes layer] - Holds [wiki:Help/Dialog/Notes Notes] from [osmwiki:Notes OSM]. Layers of one type can exist multiple times in a JOSM session, except the validator and the notes layer. More layer types come with additional [wikitr:/Plugins plugins], e.g. [[Image(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mapillary/josm-mapillary-plugin/master/images/icon16.png)]] [osmwiki:JOSM/Plugins/Mapillary Mapillary plugin]. [[Image(LayerList.png)]] == Layer Buttons == || [[Image(source:trunk/images/dialogs/layerlist/active.png,link=)]] || \ || Make this layer the active layer || ||[[Image(source:trunk/images/dialogs/layerlist/scale.svg,16,link=)]] || \ || Snap/unsnap the map zoom to the native resolution of this background imagery || || [[Image(source:trunk/images/dialogs/layerlist/eye.png,link=)]] || \ || Hide/unhide the layer || == Panel Buttons == The Layers window also has several buttons at the bottom which operate on the selected layers: === Move Up === #LayerUp [[Image(source:trunk/images/dialogs/up.svg,24,link=)]] **Up** moves the selected layers up one row in the layer stack. This is important when items in one layer obscure those in layers below. You can reorder layers also by drag and drop. === Move Down === #LayerDown [[Image(source:trunk/images/dialogs/down.svg,24,link=)]] **Down** moves the selected layers down one row in the layer stack. === Activate Layer === #ActivateLayer [[Image(source:trunk/images/dialogs/activate.svg,link=)]] ''Keyboard shortcut'': **`Shift+A`⤳`[0–9]`** - counting from the top **Activate** activates the selected layer. It is only possible to edit in an active Data layer. === Visibility === #VisibilityLayer [[Image(source:trunk/images/dialogs/layerlist/visibility.png,link=)]] Following hotkeys used to control visibility of top10 or bottom10 layers: * **`Shift+S`⤳`[0–9]`** - where 0 is the top layer; counting down to 9 * **`Alt+[1–0]`** - where 1 is the bottom layer; counting up to 0 Once clicked on, it offers: * A checkbox to show/hide a layer, i.e. turns visibility of selected layers on or off. The layers are unchanged when hidden, but their contents are not shown. You can also use the following shortcuts to show/hide a layer: * A slider to adjust the [[Image(source:trunk/images/dialogs/layerlist/transparency.png,16,link=)]] **Opacity** of selected layers. * A slider to adjust the [[Image(source:trunk/images/dialogs/layerlist/colorfulness.png,16,link=)]] **Colorfulness** of selected layers. * A slider to adjust the [[Image(source:trunk/images/dialogs/layerlist/gamma.png,16,link=)]] **Gamma** of selected layers. * A slider to adjust the [[Image(source:trunk/images/dialogs/layerlist/sharpness.png,16,link=)]] **Sharpness** of selected layers. Colorfulness, Gamma and Sharpness are only availible for imagery layers. For gpx layers you can choose one of 7 default colors. (Other colors are available via [Help/Action/LayerCustomizeColor Customize Color] in the gpx layer [wiki:Help/Menu/GPXLayer context menu]). [[Image(gpx_colors.png)]] Note: 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. === Delete Layer === #DeleteLayer [[Image(source:trunk/images/dialogs/delete.svg,24,link=)]] **Delete** permanently deletes the selected layers. **All unsaved changes will be discarded! ** If you try to delete an OSM data layer or Notes layer which contains changes, JOSM will open the [wiki:Help/Dialog/UnsavedChangesDialog Unsaved Changes window], asking to upload and/or save these changes. === Individual Buttons === There might be more buttons depending on the loaded [wiki:/Plugins plugins], e.g. [[Image(osm:source:/applications/editors/josm/plugins/rasterfilters/images/josm_filters_48.png,16,link=)]] [osmwiki:JOSM/Plugins/RasterFilters RasterFilters plugin]. ---- Back to [wikitr:/Help/ToggleDialogs Windows]\\ Back to [wikitr:/Help Main Help]
