New Functionality in Information Type Layers

Information type layers now support Plug-In Extensions (PIEs) interpolators. Also, you may change an information type layer to a data type layer and vise-a-versa at any time.

Using PIE Interpolators in Information Type Layers

Information type layers allow for the use of an interpolator. With the introduction of Argus PIEs, you can use interpolators developed by others or yourself as the interpretation method for contours in information layers.

Using an interpolator as the interpretation method for contours in information type layers is recommended only when the layer contains point objects.

To select a PIE interpolator

1. Open the layers dialog.
2. Select the layer its interpretation method you want to change.
3. From the interpretation method popup menu at the bottom of the dialog select the required interpolator.

Changing Information Type Layers to Data Type Layers

You may change information type layers to data type layers and vice a versa. If the layer contain objects an alert will come up warning you that you are about to delete all objects in that layer.
