Working with maps

Digital map is a user-composed set of digital data corresponding to some ground area.

The system of electronic maps allows to process the following types of the digital cartographical data:

- vector maps;

- raster images of terrain (raster maps);

- matrix data on the terrain.

Different types of digital data can be processed together or separately. Digital data can be converted into different formats, converted from one type to another, displayed on graphic displays, output to external printing devices, edited, transformed, and so on.

The electronic map can be based on a vector area map, raster map or matrix map. After opening the main type of data available for the selected territory, the user can supplement it with other types of data (compose an electronic map).

Relative location of objects of different types and scaling are defined automatically based on passport data. Map passport is filled at the step of map creation (for raster map - when it is converting from external formats) and can be edited any time.

Combining objects of different types and changing parameters such as location, scaling, displaying order, color map, brightness, contrast, list of displaying objects, allows to create maps for unlimited number applications.
