Hello All,

I'm a beginner at GIS programs and I need some help. I'm trying to create a
program where I can morph the size of the states, countries. For example, I
want to make the area of California 3x bigger and Nevada 2x smaller, yet
keeping the border between California and Nevada intact so there are no
spaces.

I have worked through all the demo examples and I need some advice on the
direction.

I would read in a CVS and match with each Feature string name, a ratio that
I would apply to modify the corresponding polygon of that feature. I would
then modify a certain sides of a polygon to make them bigger and smaller.

Is this a good way to do it or is there a better way to go about it?
Also is there any good tutorials on polygon manipulation that you guys would
recommend?
I am awfully sorry about the inexperience in this field,
but Thanks in Advance.

-Andrew
