Map window

Status bar

A status bar is located at the bottom of each map window.

The status bar:

• gives a brief explanation on highlighted menu commands,
• gives a brief explanation on the functionality of buttons in the toolbar,
• displays the X and Y coordinate information depending on the position of the mouse pointer in the map window,
• displays Row and Column numbers when a raster map is displayed, and
• displays geographic coordinates when the coordinate system used by a point, segment or polygon map, or by a georeference of a raster map, has projection information.

For more information, see How to use the status bar.
