Delivers Instant Access to Visualization, Editing, and Export Functionality
Canvas 9 Advanced GIS Mapping Edition makes tasks that might require hours, even days of work - or simply could not be accomplished with other technical illustration or graphics applications - easy to complete. The program includes a host of professionally engineered GIS capabilities to target the more sophisticated needs of mission-critical GIS projects that demand precise visualization, annotation, editing, filtering, and import or export of GIS data.
Robust export engines specifically developed for industry standard file formats, support for over a dozen GIS import filters, combined with numerous workflow enhancements position Canvas 9 Advanced GIS Mapping Edition as a leading GIS visual communications product.
New Key Features
- Select by Property - create a customized query based upon specific
properties, values, or other related criteria. A query can be edited
to meet new project needs, saved for reuse in another document, or
shared within a collaborative workgroup.
- Object Properties - properties that have been assigned to map
objects can be viewed, edited and reapplied at will.
- Visualize Data Interface - modify the symbology or appearance of map
objects according to their unique property values or
classifications. GIS objects containing population density data,
land use descriptions, elevation, or mineral deposit information can
be enhanced with custom or preset color, gradient or texture inks to
produce a "topic-targeted" thematic map.
- Map Symbols Replacement - map symbols can be replaced dynamically
and enhanced at will to increase visual appeal and create a
high-impact map that targets your project message.
- Statistics by Property - display the full range of data and other
information relating to the total number of map objects on a layer
or within a selection.
- Label by Property - a category of map objects can be set to reflect
specific industry attributes. Also, text attributes such as font
family, size, style and color can also be assigned. Plus, the label
location, rotation angle, and collision detection settings can also
be applied at will.
