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

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 ButtonMouse.png 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 ButtonShowLayersOff.png button. The button will change to ButtonShowLayersOn.png 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 ButtonShowMtnRanges.png button.
5.
Fig. 1: Drawing a polygon
To draw a polygon on the map, click on the ButtonDrawPolygon.png button. This will turn your cursor into a circle and you can start creating corner points for your new polygon by click on the map at desired locations (Fig. 1).
NOTE Please note that this tool only allows you to draw the initial polygon corner points. You cannot edit points with this tool. Move on to the next point if you have made a mistake or want to edit your polygon for other reasons.
6.
Fig. 2: Editing a polygon
To edit your polygon, click on the ButtonEditShape.png botton. This will turn your cursor into an arrow and in addition to the regular circles at on the corner points, the polygon will now also have smaller and faint circles in the middle between each corner points.

Drawing a line

Location types that support a polygon geometry include Road, Rail, Route, Ski run and Avalanche path

1. Description of first step.
2. Description of second step.
3. ...

Drawing a point

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

1. Description of first step.
2. Description of second step.
3. ...
