This drop-down menu allows the user to choose which features he wants to display on the main map
Thus, you can choose to display or to hide on the main map, alternatively or simultaneously, the following features: Entities, Dioceses, Provinces, People, Cities and so on. Note that the word 'entities' is used for the independent and dependent states, the word 'dioceses' is used for the second level administrative divisions, when available, and that 'provinces' are the finest administrative divisions available in Periodis Expert. The shift function 'Show dependencies' allows to ignore the dependent entities and show them as parts of their sovereign state. This makes the map easier to understand for people who are not interested in all the political details.
Euratlas Periodis Expert is available either in English or in French or in German.
