Editing Geometry with WFS¶

We will use the Edit Geometry tool to move the road around the lake.

• Zoom into the road that is crossing the lake in the center of the country

  

• Select tasmania_roads_Type in the Layers view.

  

• Change to the Edit Geometry tool from the tool palette (click the Editing drawer to see the available editing tools).

• Use the Edit Geometry tool to select the road crossing the lake.

  

• The road will change color and develop “vertex handles”.

• Move the vertex handles so the road does not enter the water.

  

• Add new vertices by switching to the Add Vertex tool.

• You can click any where on the road to add a new vertex.

  

• You can use Undo and Redo in the Edit menu as required.

  

• Press the Commit Changes button in the tool bar to send your changes off to the Web Feature Server.

  

• Your line has now been moved.

• You can now refresh your web page to confirm that your changes have been made.

  

• You can edit many Features at once, from different layers, or from different sources of data. Pressing Commit Changes will send off all the changes made in the current map.
