Annotations

Utilize the annotation tool to automatically add annotations of feature attributes.

Easily customize the annotation file to add or modify annotations.

Use the text editing tools to easily move annotations or change the font, size, colour, justification, spacing, and rotation of text.

Cartographic Editing

Perform "WYSIWYG" editing on the panel data.

Interactively change displays of features by assigning user-defined cartographic overrides.

Easily move features for better cartographic display.

Add cartographic features such as national hydrographic organization seals or logo symbols.

Add INT1 compass rose symbols from the paper chart presentation library or customized compass roses, if required.

Add text directly to the chart or from Rich Text Format (.rtf) files along horizontal, slanting or curved lines. Easily set the font, size, colour, justification, spacing, and rotation of text.

Layout

Create a chart based on a hierarchical structure that contains a "sheet" with one or more "panels".

Enter metadata for the chart, sheet and panels in their own properties windows.

Create multiple panels from different source usages with different projections, scales and orientations.

Display panel data in their geographic positions or paper space coordinates.

Masking

Automatically mask lines leaving a small margin around the point features that are crossed by the lines.

Manually mask or unmask lines by creating user-defined areas around point or text features. Masked portions of lines are retained in the data so that topological relationships and polygons are not affected.

Paper Chart presentation library provides users with a cartographic product that can be customized to fulfill organization-specific requirements.

Templates

Automatically add borders, scale bars and projected grids from INT2 Templates.

Carry out interactive editing and save customizations as new templates.

Updates

Review changes from the source before applying them to the panel.

Print Options

Print paper charts to any standard supported Windows® print drivers.

Alternatively, save paper charts as postscript files with an option for CMYK colour separation.

Certification

Automatically assign "Under Construction" statuses to new or modified product-specific features.

Identify features as being ready for paper chart production once they have been validated by the Quality Control and set to "Verified".

Source Usages

Access HPD Workspaces from source data for paper chart production.

Create products from generalized representations on multiple usages.
