What was new in HTML ImageMapper 9.0?

The new version 9.0 of HTML ImageMapper reflects many changes and feature improvements requested by our customers. It works together with ArcGIS 8.x and ArcGIS 9.x. The most significant improvement is the new software module "ThemeBrowser 1.0" which is a stand alone software component delivered with either HTML ImageMapper 9.0 or 3.5.

ThemeBrowser
The ThemeBrowser enables you to enrich your interactive internet maps by a thematic component. Now you give your audience the possibility to look at the several different maps of the same geographic extent and toggle between different thematic views. You as the map author just export several ImageMapper projects from your ArcView GIS projects, let’s say one showing environmental aspects, the other urban planning aspects and the third population growth, and use the ThemeBrowser to combine those HTML maps to one project. This is just like adding layers in your GIS but your audience can do it in their web browser without the need to install additional software. The end user of the map can zoom in to the geographic location of his desire and then use buttons you created to switch between the thematic views of the zoomed in area. ThemeBrowser is also very suitable for displaying temporal changes, let’s say one map showing aerial photographs from the 1950’s, the other from the 1990’s and the next of this year.


The Themebrowser has a clear and intuitive user interface. Themes created by HTML ImageMapper 3.5 or 9.0 can be selected and the text of the thematic buttons added by the user.

You have the possibility to configure the output-layout free or by predefined settings.
