Re: MI AD: SVGExport.MBX - Export your maps to SVG

[Videotron]

Ian,   Thank you so much for your positive comments ! There is still some stuff to do to improve it, but it is working well now !   SVG is a really interesting method to display interactive maps on the web. And the great thing is that there is more to come, as not all of SVG's capability is implemented in the current viewers on the market (such as Adobe viewer, http://www.adobe.com/svg/indepth/releasenotes.html and other). Again I believe XML is the future when it comes to organizing data in a logical and useful way !   If you have any questions or concerns, please drop me a line !   Regards,   Dany Bouchard DBx Geomatics 38 de l'Orbite Hull, Qu�bec Canada J9A 3C7 T�l�phone/Telephone: 819.743.3870 T�l�copieur/Fax: 819.775.3264 Courrier �lectronique/Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Page Web/Web site: http://www.dbxgeomatics.com/home.asp Vitrine technologique SVG / SVG Technology Preview: http://www.dbxgeomatics.com/svg.asp   ----- Original Message ----- From: Ian Clemens To: Dany Bouchard Sent: Thursday, September 07, 2000 9:15 AM Subject: RE: MI AD: SVGExport.MBX - Export your maps to SVG from MapInfo !

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 http://www.dbxgeomatics.com/SVGExport.htm. 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 at: http://www.dbxgeomatics.com/svg.asp   Also an interesting article about XML and GIS from giscafe.com: (http://www.giscafe.com/GISVision/Review/XML.html)   --------------------------------------------- SVG EXPORT UTILITY VERSION 1.0.5 --------------------------------------------- Summary of features and functionality --------------------------------------------- * Reads MapInfo map windows and exports content to SVG (same size as the map) * All MapInfo object types and projections are supported * Labels and cosmetic layer are supported * The style of MapInfo objects (and style override) is kept   (as much as possible) in the resulting file * Options available for filters (shadows, glow, bevel, etc) and opacity settings * Options available to specify color gradients for regions and text * Interactivity options available to specify hyperlinks, tooltips or color rollover * Option for generating an html container with a layer control * Option to export to compressed SVG --------------------------------------------- Requirements: MapInfo Version 5.x or later   Your comments are welcomed !   Dany Bouchard DBx Geomatics 38 de l'Orbite Hull, Qu�bec Canada J9A 3C7 T�l�phone/Telephone: 819.743.3870 T�l�copieur/Fax: 819.775.3264 Courrier �lectronique/Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Page Web/Web site: http://www.dbxgeomatics.com/home.asp Vitrine technologique SVG / SVG Technology Preview: http://www.dbxgeomatics.com/svg.asp
