Layer List Widget
- Lauren McArtney (Unlicensed)
The Layer List widget provides a list of operational layers and their symbols, and allows you to turn individual layers on and off. Each layer in the list has a check box that allows you to control its visibility. Layers with expansion arrows contain sublayers or subtypes.
The order in which layers appear in this widget corresponds to the layer order in the map. This widget provides functionality allowing you to change the order of layers in the map.
