In many ways, graticules behave just like other layers. However, a graticule layer differs from other
layer types in the following ways:
•
Graticule layers are not editable like other types of layers. That is, you cannot add new features
to them.
•
Although you can configure graticule label style and position, you cannot create a label layer on
a graticule layer.
•
You cannot create a thematic layer on a graticule layer.
Adding Graticule Layers
You can add graticules directly from the Layer Control (right-click on the map node to access the
context menu):
By default, the graticule spacing and extents are determined based on the zoom and size of the map
window. So when you add a graticule layer to a map, graticule lines appear regardless of the zoom
level.
