Dear Vivek,
I've found a very good help in using a program written for cartographic
design. The name is OCAD and you can find a demo version at www.ocad.com.
OCAD is mainly oriented to vector data, but it can also print a raster
template (a lot of time required, but it works).
First you must prepare, with OCAD, the symbols you will use for your map;
and you can design ANY kind of symbol for roads, buldings, interest points,
areas,.....
Then you must export by IDRISI the vector data in DXF format, each type at
a time; e.g., export roads of type 1, import them in OCAD and assign them
the OCAD symbol you designed; export roads of type 2, import in OCAD.....
and so on.
Unfortunately with the DXF export routine all the attributes are changed to
zero, this is why you must do a lot of steps.
Export the IDRISI .rst file as a .bmp file, then you can adjust by OCAD the
orientation of the .bmp according to the coordinate grid.
Take the time (half an hour) to read the OCAD help.
Sincerely
Roberto
