What does this symbol mean?












2















I have just used the shape tool to create an elliptical buffer around a point. However after doing this, within my layers table I have the symbol seen within the figure below (seen in red box). Note, non of my other layers have any symbol next to them. Does anyone know what the symbol is and what does it mean? I ask this because when I use the Identify feature symbol it will only highlight the new elliptical buffer I just made and wont let me click on anything else.

    Looks like a temporary (in memory) layer. You will have to save it do disk if you want to keep it.

  • Yes, Im very confused as to why it isn't working. Im sure its an issue with my computer rather than the software. Was just asking incase it was a software issue

  • Is the identify feature symbol greyed out, or do you get no result when clicking the new layer?

This indicates that the layer is in memory only (called a 'scratch layer') and will be lost when closing the QGIS project (without an additional warning as far as I remember) - unless you save the data to a proper file.

Tårekanal

Image
Tåreapparatet ( a ) Tårekjertel ( b ) Øvre tårepunkt ( c ) Øvre tårekanalikkel ( d ) Tåresekk ( e ) Nedre tårepunkt ( f ) Nedre tårekanalikkel ( g ) Tårekanal Tårekanalen eller nase-tårekanalen (av latin ductus nasolacrimalis ) er ein ductus som frakter overflødige tårer frå tåresekken til nasehola. Opninga inn mot nedre nasegang er delvis tildekt av ei ufullstendig slimhinnefold kalla Hasners ventil. Overflødige tårer strøymer gjennom tårekanalen og trekker inn i nedre nasegang. Dette er grunnen til at ein kan få rennande nase når ein gret, og at ein somme gonger kan kjenne saltsmaken av tårer i munnen. Både tårekanalen og tåresekken er tekt med fleirlaga sylinderepitel som inneheld slimproduserande begerceller, og er begge omgjevne av bindevev. Dakryostenose (tårekanalstenose) er ei innsnevring av tårekanalen som fører til epifora, ei overflod av tårer. Medfødd dakryostenose kan føra til cystisk utviding av tårekanalen ved at det dannast ein dakryocystocele. Personar m...
