Group Layers

From Geoikia-english

Layers can be grouped in the legend of the Geoide Viewer. You can do this by creating group layers in the Geoide Author. The grouped layers can then be expanded or collapsed in the legend by one click and can be turned on or -off by one click. Besides you can use the grouped layer as a whole for prints (instead of selecting individual layers). By making group layers you can organize the map in a better way. One group layer can consist of one or more group layers or individual layers. The structure of the layers is shown in the tree of the Geoide Author.
