Coverages Used

There is a set of default vector maps that are delivered with ERDAS IMAGINE, but you can easily
add other vector layers, so that there is more detail available in your study area(s).

To add additional coverages, simply add the file names of these new vector layers to the
catalog.cov file in the <IMAGINE_HOME>/etc directory.

The coverage that comes up when you first start the Image Catalog is specified in the
Preference Editor under Catalog. Other coverages are automatically used when you zoom into
that area. For example, if you are studying the United Kingdom and have a detailed coverage of
London that you would like to use, then you can add the London coverage to the catalog.cov file.
Then when you zoom in on the London area, that coverage will be used.

The default colors used in the coverages are also defined in the Preference Editor.
