Abstract:
PanMap is a computer program for displaying point data and vector data in
geographical maps. One could call it a simple geographic information system
(mini GIS). It is recom-mended to use this software in connection with data
from the PANGAEA Information Sys-tem. PanMap was developed for personal
computers and is available in a Windows and a Apple Macintosh version. PanMap
is Freeware.
PanMap
... displays georeferenced data, i.e. information, that has a geographical
reference, in maps. Some common cartographic projections are supported. Map
extension (boundaries) and scale are interactively selectable, layout and
graphic display of imported data can be defined by the user. PanMap works
vector-oriented, raster data can not be displayed by PanMap; a geographical
datum cannot be defined.
Georeferenced data is translated into PanMaps proprietary format and is used as
a layer. Each individual layer can be processed and arranged separately and be
used in various maps. Together with a set of additional map characteristics one
or more layers form a PanMap map. These characteristics are for instance: map
extension, geographical projection, scale and layout.
