Catalog - Details View |
|
View the objects in a Catalog (directory), in an opened object collection, or in an opened map list as a table. The columns in the table give extra information on individual objects such as: dependent or not, used domain/georeference/coordinate system, description, expression, etc. This information is read from the object definition files in the Catalog, object collection or map list.
To see only object names and icons in a Catalog, use List View.
When using Details View, you can change the order and/or the width of columns in the table.
Furthermore, you can:
For more information, see below.
When the current Catalog is shown in Details View, the Details View command is preceded by an option bullet .
Available columns in Details View:
Name | lists object's icon and the object's name. |
D | lists whether the object is Dependent (D) or not (blank). |
C | lists whether a dependent object is Calculated (C) or not (N); blank for non-dependent objects. |
U | lists whether a dependent object is Up-to-Date (U) or not (N); blank for non-dependent objects. |
R | lists whether the object is Read-only (R) or not (blank). |
Modified | lists the date and time the object was modified last. |
Domain | lists the name of the domain that is used by the object; blank if object does not use a domain. |
Domain type | lists the type of domain used by the object. |
CoordSystem | lists the name of the coordinate system that is used by the object; blank if object does not use a coordinate system. |
Csy type | lists the type of coordinate system that is used by the object; blank if object does not use a coordinate system. |
Georef | lists the name of the georeference that is used by the object; blank if object does not use a georeference. |
Georef type | lists the type of georeference that is used by the object; blank if object does not use a georeference. |
Size | lists the 'Contents Size' of the object, e.g. nr of lines and cols for raster maps, nr of polygons for polygon maps, nr of records and columns in a table, nr of items in a class or ID domain, etc. |
Attribute | lists the name of the attribute table that is linked to a map or to a domain; blank if object does not have an attribute table. |
Description | lists the Description of an object; when during an operation no description is filled out for the dependent output object, the dependent output object will use its definition or expression as description; blank if a non-dependent object has no description. |
Expression | lists for a dependent object the expression or definition by which the object was created; blank for non-dependent objects. |
Type | Lists the type of the object. |
You can specify which columns should be visible in Details View on the Customize Catalog, Details View tab.
To change the order and/or the width of columns in the table:

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:
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.
