The first section of the panel is the "Vector Layers" list. This list shows the currently loaded layers (in memory) with their corresponding descriptors. One layer at a time may be selected from this list to view and modify its details.
Below the list of layers are the "Visibility" toggle buttons which enable and disable the graphic plane. Under the "Visibility" buttons are the "WYSIWYG" ("What You See Is What You Get") toggle buttons which control how the vectors are displayed. If "Yes" is selected, then the representation style tables are applied to the vectors. If "No" is selected, the vectors are displayed as simple lines.
Following this is an editable vector layer descriptor. This descriptor is normally loaded from the source file, and may be saved to the destination file by saving the vector layer.
Under the editable descriptor is the total number of shapes in the selected vector layer.
The next section of the panel is the "Source Information" which shows the source file name and the vector segment number. This information will be blank if the graphic plane was created with the vector editing panel.
The last section is the "Georeferencing Information" which displays georeferencing information for the selected vector layer in a control known as a GeoEdit. The option menu can be used to select different coordinate systems and the georeferencing information can be edited. Changes to the georeferencing information can be saved by saving the vector layer.
