Data Collection

VegMachine collects no personally identifying user information. However, we do use Google Analytics to obtain statistics on usage and also collect polygon geometries from user queries. This information helps us improve our time-series-layers and service.

Selection not Implemented

The compare features option is not currently implemented with the custom chart.

Map Server Down

VegMachine's web map server is not returning the requested overlay.

Data extraction and chart creation should not be affected.

This is typically an intermittent problem and should resolve shortly.

Multiple Features Select

The multiple feature select button has been activated as you have multiple features drawn on your map.

The button is on the left map toolbar and has this icon .

When not activated the default feature selection is a single feature at a time. Clicking the button allows multiple features to be selected at once. These multiple features can either be treated as a single area or as separate regions depending on the chart mode you select.

Draw Features

Use the polygon and point draw tools to define areas for data extraction. In addition to drawing features, you can import vector files using the 'Import Features' tool under 'Map Tools' in the main sidebar on the left.

You can delete features using the delete tool.

Once you have features on the map, you can select a feature by clicking on it and can then extract data and create a chart. Selected polygons will be shown in pink and unselected polygons in blue.

Time Series Map Tools

Use the tools displayed in the bottom right of the map screen to:

Display a legend
Change the map overlay transparency
Toggle the display on/off
Step through different dates in the time series

Vegmachine utilises map tile caching. The initial display of a data product over an area will be slower than subsequent requests.

Synchronised Chart

This synchronised chart has a number of interactive features:

You can toggle series on or off using the chart legend.
Hovering or clicking on the chart at a point of interest will display the data value.
The map overlays are synchronised with the chart. By clicking on the chart the relevant product at that date will appear on the map page. The pink line represents the date displayed on the map.
You can download the chart data, image and vector file of features from the export menu at the top right of the chart
