====== Plot Point ======

The **Plot Point** feature allows you to locate a set of coordinates on the map and mark them with a balloon-style marker. Coordinates can be input using a variety of different formats, including the local coordinate system based on your [[Map Projection]].

===== Plotting a Point =====
To plot a set of coordinates on the map, open the Plot Point dialog by clicking the "Plot Point" button on the Home tab of the GIS Editor's [[Using the Ribbon Bar|ribbon bar]].  The following controls are available on the Plot Point dialog:

**Point Label** - The label that you want to display on the balloon marker for this set of coordinates.

**Coordinate Format** - A dropdown list that lets you choose the format or the coordinates you will enter.  Available choices are:

  * Decimal Degrees
  * Degrees Minutes
  * Degrees Minutes Seconds
  * X/Y (uses your local coordinate system based on your map projection)

**Longitude (X)** - Allows you to enter the longitude (X) value for your coordinate pair.

**Latitude (Y)** - Allows you to enter the latitude (Y) value for your coordinate pair.

Once you have filled in the information above, click the "Plot Point" button to place a marker on the map.  The marker text will consist of your Point Label as well as the X and Y coordinates of the point.

===== Clearing a Plotted Point =====
To remove a plotted point's balloon marker from your map, hover over the balloon marker, which will reveal a red "X" button in the upper right corner of the balloon.  Then click the "X" to remove the marker.
