Quickstart
Variants
- Use the online tool to visualize your own data using existing geometries
- Build your on own "application": download MAPresso.jar.
- Map your data using existing geometries, download the files used by the online tool.
- Find boundary files in ArcGIS shapefile format, convert these with shp2psc into the MAPresso specific format, and build an "application". Use it locally or put the files on a web server for a broader audience.
Minimal Example
An absolute minimal example of a Web page with MAPressso consists of 4 files in one directory:
1. A html file (e.g. "index.html") with the following content:<html> <head> <title>Minimal MAPresso</title> </head> <body> <applet code="MAPresso.class" archive="./mapresso.jar" codebase="./" width="1200" height="840"> <param name="nobs" value="313"> <param name="geo" value="polys.psc"> <param name="nam" value="areas.nam"> </applet> </body> </html>2- The program, here "mapresso.jar"
3. A geometry file, here: "polys.psc"
4. A names file, here: "areas.nam"
The parameters "width" and "height" define the size of the applet on the Web page, "nobs" gives the number of areal units (in the geometry and in the names file).
