Images in image layers can be moved and resized on top of the map
chart directly. The possibility to move images can be useful when you, as
illustrated below, want to position a satellite photo on top of an ordinary map
layer, or when you have a number of images to arrange on top of a map.
About this task
Note: The image and map
should use identical coordinate reference systems to match properly.
Before you begin
The map chart
contains a map layer and an image layer containing an image that is not used as
background. One of the following coordinate reference systems is used:
EPSG:3857, EPSG:4326, EPSG:4269, or EPSG:4267.
Procedure
-
Right-click the image, and select
Edit image position in the menu.
The image gets a frame with handles in the corners.
Coordinates for the corners are displayed.
-
Click and drag the image to the wanted position.
-
If you want to resize the image, drag one of the handles. This
will keep the proportions of the image. To change the proportions, drag any of
the borders.
-
Right-click the image once again, and deselect
Edit image position.
