- The Mapper application is an application that draws the map of the Earth
- using different projection type (13 types of projections are provided
- in this version). User can also colorize the map with any desired color.
- Furthermore, not only a hardware copy can be obtained but user can also
- save their generated maps as TIFF format data file and create their own movie
- (by using any PD software which support TIFF files as input).
-
- This application is an excellent example (maybe a boring and very demanding
- exercise) for students who are taking computer graphics classes. Furthermore,
- it can be used to help students to be more familiar with geographical locations
- of continent.
-
- This application is a shareware. Feel free to distribute it as long as
- credits are given where they are due. Users who like this application are
- encouraged to be a registered user (for more detail see the "Registration"
- topic in the help section of the application).
-
- Two data files are included:
- 1) World.map - a subset of the data for the map of the Earth.
- 2) Deluxe.map - the whole data set for the map of the Earth.
-
- Since file (1) has less data than file (2). Thus, the time needed to
- draw (1) is less than the one needed for (2). For a quick demo, I suggest
- users to use the file (1) and for completeness use file (2).
