Swipe


On the upper right side of the LINK-GIS map viewer, next to the Information widget is the Swipe widget. The Swipe widget allows users to turn on dynamic layers and swipe them on and off across the map viewer.

Click on the Swipe widget icon. A swipe bar appears in the center of the map. The selected layers show on one side of the bar and are hidden on the other. In the dialog box, choose the dynamic layer group to swipe from the drop-down menu. Then click and drag the swipe bar across the map viewer to show or hide the chosen dynamic layers on top of the underlying basemap.

Note the dynamic layer must be turned on under the Map Layers widget option for it to be selectable in the Swipe widget drop down menu. By default, the Zoning and Flood Layers are the chosen layers for the Swipe tool.

The Swipe tool only works for dynamic layers. If you want to compare basemaps, use the Basemap Gallery to compare two different basemap layers.
