How to display a map list as a slide show

With Slide Show, you can display multiple raster maps that are combined in a map list as a slide show in a map window. The maps of the map list are displayed one after the other in the map window at a user-specified rate. A slide show is designed to present multi-temporal changes in maps.

Raster maps that you can include in a map list for a slide show may be:

A slide show is in fact the same as repeatingly replacing raster maps in a map window, e.g. by dragging raster maps from the Catalog one by one into a map window.

To create a map list:

The first step of making a slide show is to create a map list of all the raster maps that you want to show. For more information, refer to How to create a map list.

To start a Slide Show:

There are several ways in which a slide show can be started:

A Display Options dialog box appears for the first raster map of the map list.

The Display Options - Map list as slide show dialog box appears.

The Slide Show will start after you press the OK button.

Tips:

  1. A map list can only be created of raster maps that have the same georeference and the same domain.
  2. If the refresh rate is set to zero, it means that the maps will not be refreshed automatically. To show the next slide, click the Redraw button in the toolbar of the map window or press Ctrl+R on the keyboard.
  3. When you create a map list of raster maps that are the outcome of the Apply 3D operation (for instance depicting the same area in three dimensions but from different angles), and display this map list as a slide show, you can obtain a kind of rotating DEM with raster drape. For more information, refer to Display 3D and Apply 3D.
