SVG layer menus
SVG layers are selected by using push buttons or other control devices to activate web page scripting to show the desired layer and hide other layers. A typical method is to create an array of push buttons across the top of the screen.
The SVG layer menu should be on its own dedicated layer, and not part of a layer associated with normal control functions. This is because it would not be desirable have the SVG layer menu disappear when a different layer is selected.
1) Make sure your menu layer is the currently selected layer, and then drag a menu button onto the screen and position it. Do the same to add buttons for all the layers you will be using. Be sure to include a button for the 'main' or default layer.
2) Right click on each button and set the id you wish to use. The actual id you use is not important, but it does make it easier to find the button later when you edit the XML properties.
3) Now, open the XML editor and find the buttons. Change the Javascript tags from the defaults to the actual address tags you wish to use.
4) Finally, use the XML editor to label each button with text.
5) The layer menus are complete.
