macGIS 3.0 streamlines all the steps involved in creating and using a raster geographic information system, from scanning source maps and digitizing new data on-screen to generating new maps and wire-frame views for use in desk top publishing.
Analytic functions include Boolean overlay, proximity ... and coincidence, visibility, and a wide array of statistical and spatial analytic tools. Features include a macro-maker which translates menu selections and mouse clicks into a text-based version of any analytic command which can then be edited, stored as a separate document, or re-executed.
Some of the new features in this version of macGIS include extended legends with room for as many label categories as desired, improved color handling with editing capabilities, new analytic tools, and digital import/export routines.

macGIS 3.0 runs on any modern Macintosh (Mac LC or newer). It is recommended to have at least 4 megabytes of RAM and a 200 megabyte or larger hard disk. The bigger your data sets, the more RAM and disk space needed. A 8 mg Mac is adequate for data layers up to 100,000 cells per layer. Several software packages are quite useful as companions to macGIS: ... MacDraw Pro or Canvas, a bit map editor such as Photoshop, and a scanning device. There are no special operating system requirements. macGIS 2.0 is System 7.5 and PowerPC compatible, and requires at least System 7.
macGIS removes the need for a digitizing tablet by making use of the Mac as an input device. Gridded arrays of numerical values can be input as data layers.
