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.
