The Marigold header bar
The header bar in Marigold contains several tools for managing your project, such as saving and loading, manipulating the map, and links to further information on Marigold itself.
Save and load a project
Buttons for saving and loading projects. More information can be found here.
Bookmarks
Bookmarks are a convenient way to store locations that you will return to often.
Each bookmark is defined by a latitude/longitude location and a zoom level.
Clicking on a bookmark will move the map to the defined center and zoom. Click
Create a bookmark to add the current map location as a bookmark, or click
Manage bookmarks to review and manage your current bookmarks.
Zoom and center
Controls the center latitude/longitude value and zoom level of the map.
Warning
While Marigold allows you to zoom out to a continent-scale view, doing so can use a large amount of unexpected compute resources. Zooming past level 7 will automatically turn off all layers to avoid this, although they can be manually turned back on if you require a continent-scale display.
Pixel inspector
The pixel inspector will extract the pixel values for all currently visualized layers. Click the icon to start an inspector session, and click on the map to extract a point. Layers will appear in the same order as they are in the raster layer list. Clicking the map in another location will move the inspection point and recompute the values shown in the box.
Note
Only values for the currently visualized bands (either one or three, depending on if the layer is a single band or RGB display) will be computed with this tool. For detailed inspection of all of a layer's bands at single points, use the spectral query tool.
Tip
The pixel inspector will appear above tool dialogs so you can inspect values while running an analysis. This can be very useful for tools like the raster calculator, where you may want to identify specific pixel values.
Ruler
Click the ruler icon to add a measurement tool to the map. Click the icon on the
map, then click the map to begin measuring along the line you draw. When you are
finished, click Finish to end the measurement session.
Screenshot tool
Use this tool to take a screenshot of the map over the selected AOI. All visible
raster and vector layers will be captured and output as a .png file on your
computer
Warning
This tool is provided for taking quick, repeatable screenshots of layers suitable for documentation, not for further data analysis. To output data layers at full resolution for use in other GIS packages, use the layer export functions.
