* **Image** Image can be added to tooltip. If field name contains `<img>` and the field content contains `http` url

| -- | ------------------------------------ |
| 1  | `http://my-image.com/my-image-0.png` |
| 2  | `http://my-image.com/my-image-1.png` |

* **Web link** Tooltip can be a clickable weblink. To add a web link as tooltip, add a url that starts with `http://` to the field content.

## Brushing

* **Brush**: Brush allows you to highlight areas with the cursor. When brush is turned on, all layers darken. Only the portion you hover over with the cursor is illuminated. Brush works well with arc layers in particular.
