MapViewer is an affordable mapping and spatial analysis tool that allows you to easily produce publication-quality thematic maps. Precisely display your data distribution with the most intuitive functions and features. Your data is unique and you need the best mapping software for the job! When your map fits on a single page, MapViewer has always had a print preview capability because of showing the page outline around the map. For the case where your map is larger than the page, MapViewer 7 adds a print preview for tiled printing. You can see how the map will be divided between pages and can choose exactly which tiles to print. The buffer tool in MapViewer 7 has been enhanced to allow a negative buffer distance. You can create a buffer zone inside of an area to show a setback distance.
v7.6 [Sep 28, 2010]
MapViewer 7 introduces three new types of thematic maps - Contour Map, Non-Contiguous Cartogram, and Vector Map.Contour Map:MapViewer can take discrete data measurements, interpolate between them to create a uniform grid, and then display a contour map showing lines of constant values. You have complete control over the appearance of the contour map and can easily limit the contours to your area of interest.Non-Contiguous Cartogram:Cartograms represent data values by changing the size of the associated area object. In addition to the existing Dorling cartogram, MapViewer 7 can now create a non-contiguous cartogram, where the original shapes are retained but resized according to their data values. Cartograms are particularly useful when there is an inverse relationship between area and the data value. They emphasize the areas with the greater data values. Vector Map:Like a contour map, a vector map also interpolates from discrete data measurements to create a uniform grid. It then displays arrows that indicate the direction and magnitude of the steepest slopes across the grid. You can control the frequency and appearance of the arrows.
