Update georeferencer.rst
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Three additions:
1) adding "GCP" before "point" in 2 entries in a legend to the buttons, for consistency with the remaining legend entries (although I'm aware, that the final "P" in "GCP" abbreviation also mean "Point" - but this regards all resp. entries);
2) adding explanations, what "Link QGIS to Georeferencer" and "Link Georeferencer to QGIS" buttons actually do (it was not written anywhere and I had to look for this over the Net for a while)
3) adding a tip, how to avoid switching between "Pan" and "Add" or "Move GCP Point" when moving from one location to the other (I also did not find it at once).

Tip: to avoid constant switching between a "hand" (Pan) and "Add / Move GCP point" buttons, you may use the keyboard arrow keys for moving and the mouse wheel for scaling the georeferenced map conveniently.
