Saving & Loading
Project files save your work so you can resume later or share with someone else.
Saving a project
Section titled “Saving a project”Click Save in the top toolbar. Graticule downloads a .json file to your machine. This file captures your full project state:
- All layers (names, visibility, order)
- Per-layer styles (fill, stroke, color, width, dash, point shape/size)
- Per-layer processing settings (simplification, smoothing, bezier)
- The current projection
- The background color and opacity
Catalog layers store only a reference (the dataset ID) — geometry is re-fetched from the source on load. Uploaded layers or layers that were mutated by geometric operations embed their full geometry in the project file.
Loading a project
Section titled “Loading a project”Click Open in the top toolbar and select a .json project file. Graticule restores your layers, styles, and projection.
Starting fresh
Section titled “Starting fresh”Click New in the top toolbar to clear the canvas and start a new project. Save any unsaved changes first, Graticule will prompt you for a confirmation.
A note on autosave
Section titled “A note on autosave”Graticule has no autosave. If you close the tab without saving your progress will be lost.
