Raster layers

Raster layers are the primary data object in a Marigold session. Add layers to your maps and configure your layer settings using the Raster layers section on the left side panel. Marigold will display layers "top down," meaning that layers at the top of the list will appear above layers underneath.

Add raster layers

Raster layers can be added from Catalog, or layers exported from other Marigold projects.

Basic layer configuration

Visibility and ordering settings can be modified from a layer's row in the list.

Toggle visibility

Use the eye icon to toggle layer visibility on and off.

Autoscale

Use the magic wand icon to autoscale layers using a 2% linear stretch. This stretch will clip the lowest 2% and the highest 2% of values to eliminate extreme bright and dark regions, and stretch the remaining values across the dynamic range of values to enhance contrast.

Warning

If the selected layer has too many images, a warning notification will be generated.

Toggle as mask

Select Toggle as mask to mark the layer as a mask that can be used for masking other layers.

Export

Select Export to export a layer for import into another Marigold project.
