Request information about Vector chart objects
The ability to cursor-pick on an object for the additional information that lies behind the object is an important part
of ECDIS capability. However, an unprocessed cursor pick, which does discriminate or interpret and merely dumps
on the interface panel all the information available at that point on the display, will normally result in pages of
unsorted and barely intelligible attribute information.
How to set visible Vector chart features
The request information about S57 chart objects is given only objects which are set to displayed by user. How to set
chart details to be displayed, see chapter "Control of visible " on page 120.
