Tip:

To include system objects or non-ILWIS objects in a Catalog, e.g. DBF files and/or TIF files, see Customize Catalog, Selection tab.

To sort or order objects:

When showing objects in a Catalog in Details View, you can also click the column buttons to sort objects.

To perform a query on objects:

By using a Catalog query, ILWIS will scan the contents of all object definition files in the current Catalog and show only those objects that are the result of the query. By using a query, you can search for instance for objects that use domain type Class/ID, domain type Image, a certain domain (e.g. domain landuse), a certain georeference, etc. The query that is in use is shown in the status bar of the Main window.

 

 

Query examples:

map.name=Land* shows the raster, polygon, segment and point maps that start with Land.
map.domain=Landuse shows the raster, polygon, segment and point maps that use domain Landuse.
map.domain.type=image shows the maps that use domain type Image.

For more information, see Customize Catalog, Query tab.
