To add a raster image to the map
1 In
Display Manager (page 2060), click Data ➤ Connect To Data.
2 In the Data Connect window, select Add Raster Image or Surface
Connection in the Data Connections By Provider list.
If you are adding a WMS image, see
Adding an Image from a WMS (Web
Map Service)
(page 445). If you are adding an image whose format does
not appear in the Data Connect window, see
Using Other Raster Image
Formats
(page 453).
3 Under Connection Name, type a name for this connection.
You can give the connection any name you like. This name appears in
Map Explorer as the name of the feature source.
4 Click the folder icon to browse to the folder containing multiple images,
or click the image icon to specify a single image.
5 Click Connect.
6 In the Add Data To Map area, select the images to include.
If this source contains only a single image, that image is selected
automatically. If it contains multiple images, you can right-click any of
them and select Select All or Select None.
7 For each image you select, make sure the Coordinate System and Vertical
Units entries are correct.
■ Hold your cursor over an image name to see its native coordinate
system. The Coordinate System entry should match this.
■ Scroll the table if necessary to see all the columns.
■ To change the coordinate system, click Edit Coordinate Systems and
choose the appropriate coordinate system.
■ To change the vertical units, click the current entry to display a down
arrow that lets you choose a different one.
8 To combine all the images on one map layer, select Combine Into One
Layer. This is useful for combining a series of images to create a single
layer; for example, you can combine GeoTIFs of each county to create a
state map.
9 Click Add To Map.
10 If prompted,
specify the location, scale, and rotation (page 451) for each
image.
