Vector layers

Marigold supports adding and displaying a wide variety of vector layers. Add layers to your maps and configure your layer settings using the Vector 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 vector layers

Vector layers can be added to the project from several sources:

Layer properties

Vector layers that have properties associated with features will show the properties in a popup window when clicking on a feature. This feature can be toggled on and off, and will be toggled off by default.
