This document describes how to create location geometries with the available drawing tool directly in the InfoEx system.
Step-by-step description
The following sections discuss the creation of polygon, line and point geometries separately.
ISSUE | The system currently does not support multi-geometries (i.e., multiple, separate polygons, lines or points associated with a single location). Workaround: Please contact Pascal Haegeli to discuss possible solutions. JIRA: -772 (Aug.13, 2013) |
Drawing a polygon
Location types that support a polygon geometry include Operation area, Forecast area, Operating zone, Permanent closure, Ski run and Avalanche path
Drawing a line
Location types that support a line geometry include Road, Rail, Route, Ski run and Avalanche path
1. | After entering the name and abbreviation of a location move to map to enter the geometry. | ||
2. | To navigate on the map, click on the button. You can then click and drag the map to the desired general location. You can also use the familiar Google Earth navigation tool in the top right corner of the map to navigate around. | ||
3. | To show the geometries of all of your existing location, click on the button. The button will change to when the geometries are shown. | ||
4. | To show the boundaries of the mountain range polygons used for creating the mountain range associations in the InfoEx report, click on the button. | ||
5. | To draw a new line on the map, click on the button. This will turn your cursor into a circle and you can start creating points for your new line by click on the map at desired locations (Fig. 3).
| ||
6. | To edit your Line, click on the botton. This will turn your cursor into an arrow and in addition to the regular circles at on the corner points, the line will now also have smaller and faint circles in the middle between each corner points (Fig. 4). You have the following options for editing your polygon:
To completely erase your line and start fresh, click on the button and draw your line again. | ||
7. | Once you are happy with the shape of your line, click on Add in the left panel of the application to submit the new location to the InfoEx database. If you have forgotten to complete one of the required fields, you will get an error message and the incomplete field will be highlighted with a red frame.

Drawing a point
Location types that support a point geometry include Operation area, Ski run, Avalanche path, Weather site and Shot placement
