Layer Manager

The Layer Manager section in the left panel lists every raster and vector layer currently loaded on the map. It supports drag-and-drop reordering, opacity control, vector styling, layer grouping, and legend display.

Layer row controls

Each layer row contains (left to right):

ControlDescription
⠿ drag handleDrag to reorder layers
checkboxToggle layer visibility
R / V badgeKind indicator (Raster or Vector)
layer nameMonospace name, truncated with ellipsis
opacity sliderAdjust layer transparency (0–100 %)
zoom-to buttonFly Cesium camera to this layer's extent
legend buttonShow/hide the WMS legend image
remove buttonRemove the layer from the map

Reordering layers

Drag any layer row by its handle to change its position in the stack. Layers higher in the list are drawn on top in Cesium.

Named groups

Click + Group at the bottom of the Layer Manager to create a named group. Drag layers into the group to organise them. Groups can be collapsed with the ▸/▾ toggle.

Adding layers

Use the toolbar buttons to open the Add Raster or Add Vector panel in the left sidebar, select from the available maps in the current GRASS environment, then click Add to Map.

Opacity

Move the slider in a layer row to change its opacity. The value is applied live to the Cesium imagery layer and is persisted as part of the workspace session.

Vector styles

Clicking the style button on a vector layer expands an inline panel with:

  • Color — fill/stroke colour picker
  • Alpha — transparency slider
  • Width — stroke width in pixels

Style changes are applied to the WFS layer rendered by Cesium.

Legend

Click the legend button on a raster layer to fetch and display the WMS legend graphic inline below the layer row.
