🌸 NAME 🌸

wxGUI Attribute Table Manager β€” your lil bestie for wrangling attribute tables 🫢

The Attribute Table Manager is a wxGUI component, and its whole job is to query, edit, and manage attribute data for vector maps. Lowkey iconic. πŸ’…

You launch it by clicking on the icon in the toolbar β€” that's it, that's the whole vibe. It's also available as a stand-alone module called g.gui.dbmgr. No cap. 🌈

So what does the Attribute Table Manager actually let you do?? Buckle up: πŸ‘‘

  • browse attribute data of vector map, perform SQL select statements πŸ“Š
  • modify attribute data, insert new records to attribute table, delete existing records πŸ—‘οΈ
  • highlight selected items in the Map Display Window ✨
  • extract selected items into a new vector map πŸ¦‹
  • modify attribute table - add, drop, rename columns πŸŽ€
  • modify vector map DB connection settings - add, remove or modify layers πŸ”§
