Feature-Based Plotting |
| Customer: |
Leading Cartography Company |
| Problem: |
Produce fully rendered feature-based plots on the
desktop |
| Solution:
|
Mill Creek Systems, Inc. developed a
feature-based plotting system to render consumer and
commercial maps such as road atlases, according to
predefined feature information stored in an external ASCII
file. |
Provides
feature symbolization and prioritization based on parameters in
an external ASCII file derived from a master Oracle database.
Different
map output styles (look & feel) easily achieved selecting a
different ASCII files with different symbology parameters for
each feature.
Plotting Highlights:
-
Prioritization order based feature
type (from linkages) and determined from external ASCII file
-
Symbolization
(color, weight, fill) for features determined from external ASCII file
-
Masking
is provided to achieve desired look for overlapping features (whited-out
areas in interstate interchanges, toll booths)
-
Linear
Casing (plotting multiple times with different colors at
different line weights) provided to enhance visual effect of
primary linear features (interstate highways)
-
Topology
creation (area features) from discrete linear features powered
by MicroStation Geographics
-
High
Performance – Native Win32 DLL plots design files >10Mb in several minutes
