Geoplus.ini

  

Geoplus.ini stores user-specific data like window sizes, and the previous projects opened.  For standalone installations, this file will be in the installation directory.  For client\server installations, geoplus.INI will be in the client directory.  

STARTUP

The Startup section modifies how Petra first loads up.  Most users will never need to change the variables in this section.

VerSize, WndoLeft, WndoTop, WndoD, WndoHT, WindoMax

These options set the starting location of the Main Module.

PrevProject

Stores the last opened project’s name.

CurrProject

Stores the current project name.

HideWelcome

Setting this option to “1” hides the Petra welcome screen.

ProjectListSortType

Sets how Petra sorts the projects on the project open screen.  Setting this option to “0” sorts projects alphabetically, while setting this option to “1” sorts projects by the last used date.

ProjectListSortOrder

Sets how Petra sorts the projects on the project open screen. Setting this option to “0” sorts projects in an ascending order (A to Z, recently used to less recently used), while setting this option to “1” sorts projects in descending order (Z to A, less recently used to most recently used).

Editor

Sets the executable for the default text editor.

SkipUpdateCheck–

Setting this option to “1” forces Petra to skip looking for updates.

WMS

The WMS section stores the URL, username, password, and layer of the last WMS server accessed in the Map Module.  This makes it easier for the user to reconnect to the last server they were using.  For servers that don’t need authentication, the user and password remains blank.

Example

[WMS]
URL=http://gaia.inegi.org.mx/NLB/mdm5.wms
USER=
PASSWORD=
LAYERLIST=SATELLITE

PLOT

The Plot section controls if the date stamp is displayed at the bottom of maps and cross-sections.

Example

[PLOT]
HIDEDATESTAMP=0
