2.3.2. The Uber Browser

The following items are shown inside of the Uber Browser window. The Uber Browser provides a single location to choose from built-in and user-saved symbols, palettes, bookmarks, and other items that are used across all maps. Since Cartographica supports drag-and-drop to do many things, it serves as the starting point for dragging into other windows. Each tab in the Uber Browser will be described separately in this document, as the tabs themselves are where the content lies, however each is accessed through the Uber Browser, which can be shown by using Window  >  Show Uber Browser.

Each tab is described below:

Symbols

The Symbols tab provides access to all built-in and user-defined symbols in Cartographica, for use when changing styles for point layers. For more information, see Figure 2.10, “Symbols Tab”
