<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>

<p>
The <b>Map Swipe</b> is
a <em><a href="wxGUI.html">wxGUI</a></em> component which allows the
user to interactively compare two raster maps of the same area
by revealing different parts of the raster maps.
It is useful e.g. for comparing raster maps from different time periods.
Map Swipe can be launched
from the menu <tt>File -> Map Swipe</tt>.

<p>
Map Swipe allows to:

<ul>
  <li>switch rientation of the swipe line (horizontal or vertical)</li>
  <li>zooming, panning</li>
  <li>automatically load maps when opening Map Swipe with two selected raster maps in Layer Manager</li>
</ul>
