The Active Map allows you to quickly create basic mapping applications with typical features like zooming in and out, changing layer styles etc. A map can consist of several layers and the Active Map enables you to visualize layers like:
The map, grid and raster layers are interactive and can be addressed in a standard way. By customizing the user interface you can give your maps the functionality you need within your applications, using a Active-X based development environment like Visual Basic, Delphi of Visual C++. The Active Map also enables developers to easily create animations for different time steps. The Active Map is fast enough to achieve this. In fact, the Active Map draws maps on the screen up to four times faster than mainstream GIS packages, such as ArcView, Arc/Info, MapInfo. A special feature is the ability to work with time series data in your applications and to visualize data animations on thematic maps. For example, one can present the amount of rain that has come down in different areas throughout a century. By setting up a data set with the amounts of rain through time for different areas and then linking this data to the map, you can create an animated thematic map where different colors represent different numerical ranges of rainfall. The Active Map supports different file formats for the different kind of layers. |

The Active Map control can be used on any 32-bit version of Windows, (Windows 95 and higher) To benefit from the more powerful graphics engine introduced with Windows NT, we recommend using it with Windows NT4, Windows 2000 or Windows XP. |

The Active Map is mostly used by Demis for internal software projects, to develop various applications that include a map interface. We are currently working on a user control for the new .NET platform, which is to be properly documented and will be available as the successor of the ActiveX control. For more information about the status of both products, please contact us. |
