| Can I
use RAPS to produce thematic maps for China? |
|

|
|
Yes, you can. |
|
In fact, map output is one
of the most important functions in RAPS. We have tried to make it as
easy as possible for the user to produce a high-quality thematic map for
China. Being frustrated with the excessive (and mostly unnecessary)
technical complications in commercial GIS and mapping software, we have
decided to include a simple map module in RAPS which you can use to
produce thousands of thematic maps on China with virtually a few clicks
of your mouse. |
|
While the map module in
RAPS is quite basic (and, of course, not comparable with real GIS or
mapping systems) it is still quite powerful and produces excellent,
publication-quality output. Moreover, you have great flexibility in
modifying coloring scales for the maps. RAPS includes several default
coloring schemes; but you can also custom-specify your own color
graduation. |
