Open/Show Map or other object

Select a map, table, or any other object and show/open it in a new window.

This dialog box appears:

when you choose Open from the File menu in the Main window,
when you choose Visualization, Show Map from the Operations menu in the Main window,
when you expand the Visualization item in the Operation-tree, and double-click the Show item,
when you double-click the Show item in the Operation-list,
when you click the Show Map button in the toolbar of the Main window.

Dialog box options:

Select an object:	Select an object which you want to open in a new window.
Select object type:	Select the type of object you want to open: a map, a table, a map list, a map view, a domain, a representation, a georeference, a coordinate system, a histogram, etc.

A map is displayed in a new map window. A Display Options dialog box appears to set display options for the map. To display multiple maps in one map window, use the Add Layer command on the Layers menu of a map window.

A table, histogram, two-dimensional table, or an annotation text object will be displayed in a table window.

For other objects: either a specific editor is opened, or a dialog box appears.

When the selected object is not open yet, it is opened in a new window.

When the selected object is already open, the object is restored and its window becomes the active window.

Tips:

To open a map or table or any other object, you can also double-click it in a Catalog, or click the right mouse button on the object in a Catalog and select Open from the context-sensitive menu.
To hide or show certain object types from a Catalog, use the Object Selection toolbar or the Customize Catalog, Object Selection tab.
You can also open objects by typing the Open or Show command on the command line of the Main window. For more information, see Appendices : ILWIS commands.
