1	SVG Mapper 2.1and ArcView 3.3 Geog 578 Fall 2006 Dr. John E. Harmon
2	ArcView Extension Low Cost – 40$ (site license available) Single file svgm2.avx sent by e-mail Place in c:\ESRI\AV_GIS30\ArcVIew\Ext32 http://www.svgmapper.com/ Also requires free Scalable Vector Graphics Viewer client from Adobe http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/main.html
3	What Does it Do? Creates a set of html, Scalable Vector Graphics files and javascript file from an ArcView view through the extension Requires a template html file that comes with the program. Writes out the data you specify to an xml file (\data\i_00.xml) You can specify map tip field also
4	SVG Files (just xml – you can edit with text editor) View.svg – main map Legend.svg – legend file Overview.svg – small overview map Info.svg – information file, e.g. scale, x/y values, map tip information
5	Html and Javascript files Map.htm – main file \data\data.js – contains the Java scripting that makes it work Browser must be Java-enabled
6	English Template File (template_en.htm) Uses html tables to arrange the map, legend, info, overview, search, and other table elements on a 1024 by 768 pixels or large screen

8	MAP.HTM Principle access file (URL in browser, e.g. http://cgissrv1.ccsu.edu/website/mexico/map.htm) SVG viewer software allows for interaction with svg files embedded in table elements, e.g. turn layers on and off (legend.svg), pan/zoom (view.svg), show X/Y values of clicked on features (info.svg)
9	\data\data.js Contains all the Javascript functions to interact with the map Functions accessed from map.htm
10	i_00.xml Contains the data – as it was when the website was created There is no direct link to live data; this is a snapshot of what the view looked like and what the attribute data were the instant you made the web site. This data pops up in an html window/table on the left-click on feature (identify button in ArcGIS) See next page for sample data

12	Strengths and Weakness Simple to construct Few server services involved; client does most of the work Inexpensive – compares well to programs costing 10 x as much Easy to modify Simple structure Only runs on ArcView 3 – no plans to update to ArcMap 9.x Requires client software other than browser No direct data link Weak query functions Not well designed for large numbers of users
