Customing Pick Operation Messages

The messages which appear in the application during the pick operations can be customised by the label, support_label and help_text parameters of the function. The example below demonstrates using those three parameters to customise the messages shown by a coordinate pick operation.

from mapteksdk.pointstudio.operations import coordinate_pick, write_report
from mapteksdk.project import Project
 
project = Project()
 
point = coordinate_pick(label="This is the label",
                        support_label="This is the support label",
                        help_text="This is the help text")

If you run this script, before picking a point, you will see:

• The support label text, which will appear at the top of the view in a yellow box.

  

• The label text, which appears in the bottom left hand corner of the screen.

  

• The help text, which will appear in a tooltip when the mouse hovers over the label.
