Mappetizer provides a way to transform GIS and CAD files into SVG format, which can then be used to publish on the Web or CD-ROM. Vector objects and text are converted to SVG, which allows for infinite zoom without loss of quality and smaller file sizes that load quickly. Attribute data is stored as XML files, which can be displayed in various ways, such as mouse-over effects and attribute tables.
Mappetizer gives you the opportunity to convert GIS and CAD files into the SVG format. You can then use these SVG files to publish them on the Web or on CD-ROM. Mappetizer does not need any additional software on your Web Server.
Mappetizer supports vector based object data and image data. While image data are displayed as usual as GIF or JPEG files, the vector data and all text objects are converted into the SVG format.
SVG graphics have the advantage to be infinitely zoomable without loosing cartographic quality. Beside this, the file size is quite smaller and loads much faster in a web browser.
Mappetizer also supports attribute data. These are stored as XML files. The data can be displayed on different ways: with mouse-over effects, identifying features on the map and even as the whole attribute table. There exists a link between the attribute and the geometry, so flashing of individual shapes is possible.
