North Arrow¶
The North Arrow is available in two parts:
- A new Map Graphic entry North Arrow that can be dropped onto your map; it will appear in the top left corner and will (gasp!) always point north
- A new tool that can be used to position the north arrow on your map
This work is originally done with the help of a couple cool kids from Switzerland that did an internship at Refractions Research.
How to add a North Arrow¶
- Drag and Drop the North Arrow map graphic onto your map
- Change to the tool Move Mapgraphic tool (this is available under the JGrass tools)
- Click on the screen to position the north arrow
Alternatively you can use the styling interface to assign a fixed location to the north arrow.
