GXP Mosaic

When working with several graphics of the same type, you can create multiple instances of the graphics in the Multiport, the main viewing and work space in SOCET GXP. You can also change a common property about the graphic that is reflected dynamically in each of the selected graphics of the same type. The following tips are helpful in accomplishing this task.

Tip

Double-click to select an icon from the Multiport Annotation toolbar to create multiple instances of the annotation in a Multiport. Similarly, in the Toolbox tab of the Graphics Manager, double-click on icons to create multiple instances of the annotations simultaneously in the Multiport.

Tip

To change the graphic properties for a group of selected graphics of the same type, use the Graphic Format toolbar.

Steps:

1. Start SOCET GXP, and load an image into the Workspace Manager.
2. Open the image into a Multiport window.
3. From the Annotation toolbar, select the Rectangle icon.

5. Double-click to select the Rectangle icon.
6. Click and drag several rectangles in the Multiport panel (notice system cursor remains in draw mode).
7. Press the Esc key to set system cursor back to select mode.
8. Press and hold the Ctrl key and mouse button; click to select all rectangles drawn (or press Ctrl+A).
9. From the Graphics Format toolbar, select the Fill Color icon and choose a color to fill all rectangles selected.

   Note: If you select multiple graphics of the same type, and right-click for the context menu properties option, the properties option is disabled. The properties option is only available for a single graphic change.
