CompactToolbar Module

The toolbar can be configured using Manager. See Toolbar for instructions.

The CompactToolbar Module implements the compact toolbar typically found in the Handheld interface. When activated, the compact toolbar appears at the top of the map.

As of version 2.4, the Handheld interface uses the compact toolbar by default, while the Desktop and Tablet interfaces use the tabbed toolbar by default. The tabbed toolbar is implemented by the TabbedToolbar Module. It is possible to use the compact toolbar in the Desktop and Tablet interfaces.

Handheld interface, showing the compact toolbar

The compact toolbar is made up of a single toolbar group, containing buttons, tools or multitools (also known as flyouts). Buttons immediately run commands that do not require input from the user. Tools run commands that operate on a geometry that the user draws; when the user clicks a tool, the tool must wait for the user to draw the geometry before running the command. Multitools act as menus of various related tools or buttons.

In the Handheld interface, the compact toolbar has three views, all of which use the CompactToolbarViewModel:
