GIS Professionals face the daunting task of compiling and maintaining
huge amounts of data in order to create digital map files. The
problem often faced is that existing GIS applications cannot produce
a map that is acceptable for final output and publication either
on paper or electronically. Maps created in a GIS often look pixelized
or, once outputted on paper, contain various colors and textures
that do not match what was initially presented on the computer
screen. As well, problems with text are common.
To solve this problem Avenza has developed MAPublisher. MAPublisher bridges the gap that exists between GIS applications and high-end
graphics publishing environments. MAPublisher is a GIS/cartographic suite of plug-in filters for the Adobe Illustrator and Macromedia FreeHand graphic applications. One of the most important features
of MAPublisher is that it will import, into these high-end graphics programs,
common GIS files such as mid/mif, shape, dxf, dlg, stds and gen
with all the attribute database information intact. Then, by working
on their maps in the graphics environment, GIS professionals can
be assured of perfect quality output. Along with importing GIS
files MAPublisher offers 40 other GIS tools such as Map Projections Editor, Automated
Legend Tools, Auto-Labeling Tool, Attribute Database Management
Tools, Merging or Linking to External Databases, Automated Raster
Image Registration Tool and many other mapping tools. MAPublisher
will help you create maps that will make you feel truly proud
and confident in a true ‘What you see is what you get’ (WYSIWYG)
environment.
