WMS and WFS Services¶
The GIS Manager can display WMS and WFS layers on a map combined with the feature and raster layers that you have access to from a database. This allows you to compose a map showing eg: rainfall station locations from a database, overlaid on a WMS map of the topography that is hosted on a WMS server.
The following section details how to add a WFS service to the GIS Manager, display a WFS layer on the map, and delete the WFS service. The same approach is used for WMS layers.
Add a new WFS service¶
| Description | Illustration |
|---|---|
| Right click on the WFS node in the Service group of the GIS Manager Explorer, and select Add new service. |  |
| Supply a preferred name and the URL to the input dialog |  |
| A list of available layers will be provided in the explorer |  |
| Set the view projection to WGS 84, by selecting the Service database, and then specifying WGS 84 as the coordinate system in the Properties window |  |
| Double-click a WFS layer, or right-click and choose Add to new map to create a new map and add the layer to it |  |
Delete a WFS service¶
Right-click on the WFS service in the GIS Explorer, choose Delete from the context menu. The WFS service is deleted.
