Editing maps on the Analyzer tab

Seagate Crystal Reports provides a third tab, the Analyzer tab, specifically for advanced mapping. Use this tab to organize your maps for more efficient analysis. The Analyzer tab allows you to set the properties of an individual instance of a map independently from the rest of the report.

To launch the Analyzer tab

1. On the Design or Preview tab, right-click the map to bring up the shortcut menu.
2. On the shortcut menu, click Map Analyzer.

   Seagate Crystal Reports opens the Analyzer tab.

When viewing a map on the Analyzer tab, you can perform the following operations:

• zoom in, zoom out, and pan the map
• center the map
• change the map title, map type, and set the overall style of the map
• reorganize the layers of report elements (for example, you can display the major cities layer above the highways layer)
• resolve data mismatches
• change the geographic map
• hide and show the Map Navigator.

Note:    The Analyzer tab's zooming, panning, and centering capabilities are also available as shortcut commands on the Map Navigator and the Preview tab (right-click the map object on the Preview tab). For more information about the Map Navigator, see Zooming, panning, and centering maps with the Map Navigator.

With the Analyzer tab, up to two map objects can be viewed simultaneously. In this case, the Analyzer tab becomes a split-screen tab, with each map appearing in a separate section. To resize a section, move the cursor over the section boundary until the cursor becomes a Section Sizing cursor, and then drag the boundary line to expand or reduce the size of the section, as needed.

The Analyzer tab can also be used to work with map objects that have been placed within a subreport. The program opens a separate Analyzer tab for each subreport that contains a map object you are analyzing. You can view up to two map objects from the same subreport simultaneously on the
Analyzer tab.

Note:    You can also resize the map legend displayed to the right of each map.
