Map view
A map view is a saved map window.
In one map window, you can display:
When you save a map window as a map view, all layers in the map window and their display settings as well as the georeference of the map window are stored. When you open a map view later on, the map window will appear exactly as it was saved. You do not need to add individual maps to the map window anymore, nor specify their display options.
Map views MUST be created when you wish to print maps. After saving the map window(s) as map view(s), create a layout to which you can add one or more map views and additional annotation such as legends, north arrows, scale bars and scale texts, texts (such as a title), map borders including ticks and coordinates for grid lines or a graticule, a page border, boxes, bitmaps and pictures.
Mind: In a layout, a map view may only contain one raster map.
In the layout editor, you can then make a final composition of the map views and the annotation.
