Editing the position of object

...

You can also change the coordinates, rotation angle and the icon size of the Line, Image, Image and indicator and Text object types using the Properties panel:

1. Open the Properties panel for the required object (see Editing object properties using the Properties panel).
2. Expand the Position and Size settings group. For the Line icon type, specify the coordinates of the initial point (x0, y0) and end point (x1, y1) of the line in this group.
   Image Modified
3. For other icons, specify the coordinates of the upper left corner (x, y), width (w) and height (h).
   Image Modified
4. To rotate the icon, specify the required rotation angle in degrees in the Angle field.

Editing the object position using the Properties panel is complete.

Changing the camera angle display

To display the camera angle on the map, do the following:

1. Select the object for which it is necessary to display the viewing angle. As a result, the object name will be highlighted with a border of green dots.
2. Open the Properties panel for the required object (see Editing object properties using the Properties panel) and expand the PTZ settings group.
3. Set the required field values:
   1. Angle on map — the direction of the display vector on the map. A value of 0 is the actual position of the camera at the time of setting the parameters.
   2. Telemetry deviation from zero — the actual offset of the camera.
   3. View angle — the angle of the view display vector.
   4. View range — the size of the the view display vector.
   5. Color — the color of the view display vector.
   6. Transparency — the transparency of the view display vector.
   7. Invert rotation — select True in the drop-down list if it is necessary to invert the camera rotation.

Changing the camera angle display is complete.

It is possible to disable displaying states thumbnails. For this:
