weeding factors You can use the weeding factor settings to reduce redundant
points along 3D polylines by ignoring vertices that are close together or along
a straight line. A larger distance and deflection angle will weed a greater
number of points. Distance is an absolute measure and the angle is measured
in degrees. The larger the distance value, the greater the number of weeded
points. The weeding factors must be less than the supplementing factors.
A point is weeded by calculating its location in relation to the vertices before
and after it. If the length between these three points is less than the weeding
length value, and the deflection angle is less than the weeding angle value,
then the middle point is not added to the contour data file.
WFS Web Feature Service. A web service based on the specification defined
by the OGC. Acts as a source of
feature (page 2063) data.
WMS Web Map Service. A web service based on the specification defined by
the OGC. Produces an image (for example, a PNG or JPG image) of geospatial
data.
workflow An automated set of tasks that can be arranged to run in series or
parallel. The output of one task can be used as the input of another task. The
user can configure the sequence and parameters for execution graphically.
workflow activity A single step in a workflow that executes a command or
set of commands.
workflow binding A relationship between activities such that the output of
one activity is used as the input of another.
workspace Contains the commands and tools for specific tasks. The Tool-based
Ribbon workspace is tailored to those familiar with the AutoCAD ribbon, while
the Task-based Ribbon workspace is optimized for working with AutoCAD
Map 3D.
To change your workspace, click the name of the current workspace in the
status bar and select a different workspace from the list.
zero-client viewer See
MapGuide Viewer (AJAX viewer) (page 2068).
zoom To change the display magnification so that it focuses on progressively
smaller areas (when you zoom in) or larger areas (when you zoom out) of an
image.
zoom extents To magnify a drawing based on its extents so that the view
shows the largest possible view of all spatial objects.
