Gallery

The Gallery is the catalogue of everything that can live on your map. Each entry is a card with a switch: flip it on and the widget appears on the map, flip it off and it goes away.

A card does one more thing. Click it and its parameters open in the Widget panel on the right, where you decide how the widget behaves and how much of it your audience can touch.

Three surfaces, three jobs:

Gallery: which widgets exist on your map.
Layout: where they sit.
Widget: how one of them behaves.

The search box filters on the name and the description at once, so searching legend finds the Legend and searching compare finds the Layer swipe. The Only show active checkbox reduces the gallery to what is currently on your map, which is the fastest way to audit a map before publishing it.

What is in the gallery

Controls

The map furniture, the same set the App Builder offers. The controls below are configured together on the Navigation & viewer chrome page.

Widget	What it gives your audience
Zoom	Zoom buttons, with your zoom limits and an optional level readout.
Home	A button back to the view you chose as the starting point.
Scale	A scale bar, metric, imperial or nautical.
Fullscreen	Expands the map to the whole screen.
Geolocate	Centers the map on the visitor’s location.
Attribution	Data credits, expanded or folded.
Minimap	An overview inset that follows the main map.

Widgets

The interactive ones.

Widget	What it gives your audience
Annotations	Text and shapes drawn over the map.
Basemap	Switches between the basemaps you curated.
Bookmarks	Named views you published, to jump between.
Color bar	A continuous legend for a raster layer.
Feature editor	Lets visitors edit attributes and geometry, within the bounds you set.
Filter	Attribute filters: your presets, and optionally their own.
HTML block	A panel of your own HTML content.
Layer control	Show, hide, reorder layers, set opacity, zoom to them.
Layer swipe	A handle comparing two sets of layers.
Legend	The legend of the displayed layers, automatic or written by you.
Measure	Distance and area measurement.
Place search	Search over worldwide places, your own layers, or both.
Print	Composes and exports the map to PNG or PDF, within your bounds.
Table	A read only attribute table docked at the bottom.
Time slider	A timeline bar that plays your layers through time.

Layout

Bands rather than tools. They are configured here and filled in Layout.

Entry	What it is
Header	A bar above the map, for a title or branding.
Footer	A thin bar under the map, for sources or attribution.

Viewer

The camera and the globe.

Widget	What it does
Compass	Shows north and resets the bearing.
2D / 3D	Tilts the camera.
3D Globe	Switches between flat and globe projection.
Terrain	3D relief, with the exaggeration you choose.
Graticule	A grid of meridians and parallels.
Atmosphere	Halo and space backdrop, starfield or solid color. Globe projection only, so its switch stays off in flat projection.
Spin globe	A slow continuous rotation.

Third party

These three send something to an outside service to do their job. The card says so, and so does a permanent notice inside the widget’s parameters. They need a provider and, for two of them, an account key configured in Integrations.

Widget	What leaves ALIGN
Directions	The points to route between.
Reverse geocode	The clicked coordinates.
Street View	The clicked location, to Google or Mapillary.

Position

Most widgets carry a corner: top left, top right, bottom left or bottom right. The card shows the current one, and you change it from the widget’s parameters or by dragging the widget in the Layout tree.

A few cannot move. A region is defined by its side of the map, and the panel widgets that are not corner bound resolve their own place.

Widgets and your saved map

Every parameter is saved with your web map, so a widget you configured comes back exactly as you left it, including in an application built from that map. These same parameters are what the AI Assistant writes when you ask it to set a widget up for you.
