Dear listers,
For those interested in Scalable Vector Graphics
(SVG),
a new MapBasic program called SVGExport.MBX that exports MapInfo maps to SVG is available from DBx Geomatics at Please use the download link from that page to
download the MBX and
documentation. SVG provides an interesting and low cost approach
to
publish maps on the internet and also allows quite sophisticated output and interactivity (animation, etc !). For anyone interested in getting an
introduction on mapping with SVG you are also welcomed to visit DBx Geomatics SVG Technology Preview Area which is no longer password protected Also an interesting article about XML and GIS from
giscafe.com:
