paint The mode is designed for creating the additional design elements onto the report layout: indicator icons of direction to the north, linear scale images and design frames.

The mode is functional only if the map being drawn up was created according to the MAPREPORT classifier.

In the dialog box that appears after the start of the mode, you can select the control element to be created on the map.

The type of control element to be created is switched by pressing the corresponding button. The table of design elements samples displays classifier objects corresponding to the current type: for frames - objects which symbolic key in the classifier begins with «S_BORD...», for north direction icons - with «V_NORD...», and for scale rulers - with «V_SCALE...».

After clicking on the «Save» button, the following will be created on the map: the north's direction indicator icon - in the northwest corner, a scale rule - in the middle of the bottom of the map, the frame - according to the dimensions of the printed area (taking into account the margins). When drawing a frame onto the map, it is shifted inside the sheet in accordance with the dimensions of the image in order to avoid a cutting when printing.
