Create Layer from Query¶
There are two ways to create a layer to display the results of a spatial query:
You can filter the layer using a spatial (or any other Query):
- Add your layer
- Open the Style Editor
- navigate to the Filter page
- Add in your spatial filter using Constraint Query Language
- Example: LANDLOCKED = ‘true’
- Tip: You can define a spatial query using the select tool; and copy the filter out of the table view
- The layer will now only show features that match the filter
You can copy a selection into a new Layer:
- Open the table view
- Provide a filter (defining a selection by hand - you can use a either full text, attribute match or a CQL expression)
- The features matching the selection are selected
- Copy and paste the features into a new layer
