Opacity

The Opacity indicates the amount of transparency on the image. The values can range between 0% (fully transparent) to 100% (fully opaque). A partially transparent image can display objects behind it. To change the opacity, highlight the existing value and type a new value. Press ENTER on the keyboard to make the change. Alternatively, click the button to increase or decrease the level of opacity.

 

Spatial Extents

The Left, Right, Bottom, and Top values in the Spatial Extents section display the current extents of the image. Enter a new value into the Left, Right, Bottom, and Top boxes to change the image extents.

 

Remarks

Changing the Spatial Extents does not update the map Limits or Scale. After changing the Spatial Extents, you may need to click on the Map object and change the options on the Limits and Scale pages in the Property Manager. After changing the Spatial Extents, it may also be necessary to change the Coordinate System for the base layer.
