ESRI - MapObjects and MapObjects LT

MapObjects Desktop Developer's Kit

MapObjects® software is a powerful collection of embeddable mapping and geographic information system (GIS) components. Developers can use MapObjects to create applications that include dynamic live maps and GIS capabilities.

Now you can add dynamic mapping and GIS capabilities to your existing Windows applications or build your own custom mapping and GIS solutions. Developing applications with MapObjects is easy and fast.

MapObjects is an ActiveX control (OCX) with more than 45 programmable ActiveX Automation objects that can be plugged in to many standard Windows development environments such as Visual Basic, Visual C++, Delphi, and PowerBuilder.

Key Features

On-the-fly projection lets users combine data from any projection into a common projection for viewing and analysis. Also, any Map Layer can be exported into a new projection.

Unparalleled data support offers direct support for a wide variety of native data formats. This includes standard GIS, CAD, image compression, and a variety of image formats, as well as ArcSDE (Spatial Database Engine) databases; common military formats; and others.

State-of-the-art geocoding engine allows for fast and accurate address matching capabilities including support for international addresses and reject processing.

Enhanced GPS management supports tracking for points, lines, and polygons.

Improved data handling provides powerful spatial and attribute filters to optimize performance. Developers can also access the ArcSDE API directly from MapObjects applications. Both vector and raster data layers can be rotated, and image transparency is also supported.

Geometric Funtions include a robust spatial geometry library for unions, intersections, and buffers.

ArcExplorer components consist of the Visual Basic source code for the legend, toolbar, and scale bar. ArcExplorer, ESRI's freely distributable GIS data browser, was built with MapObjects software.

Comprehensive collection of geographic data includes five CDs with more than 3 gigabytes of ready-to-use data.

Rich set of powerful mapping and GIS component tools for display, query, and analysis of dynamic map data.

Feature rendering using thematic methods such as value maps, class breaks, graduated symbols, dot density maps, and pie and bar charts.


MapObjects LT

The lightweight, royalty-free version of ESRI's powerful GIS and mapping components.

With MapObjects LT it's surprisingly simple to add low-cost, royalty-free mapping capabilities to your applications. If you know your way around Visual Basic®, Delphi®, Visual C++, PowerBuilder®, Access, or other popular 32-bit programming environments, it's a snap to add dynamic, live maps.

MapObjects LT is a collection of mapping components for application developers, consisting of an ActiveX control (OCX) and other programmable ActiveX automation objects. MapObjects LT is based on the same industry-standard framework as MapObjects, so you can be assured you are getting robust state-of-the-art mapping components. MapObjects LT is specifically designed for developers who have more modest needs than those served by MapObjects.
