Developer control over position and initial size of map image. User control over whether the (zoom to) scale value displayed by Map Viewer describes the scale of the map when printed on paper or the scale of the map when viewed on the computer screen. User control over the type, size, pattern, transparency, and color of symbols used to display selected point, line and polygon features. User control over the font, style, size, and color of the font symbol used to label selected features. User control over image size.
Map Viewer uses the ArcIMSConnector.SendAxlRequest() method to send ArcXML requests to the ArcIMS Server and XSLT Stylesheets to transform all ArcXML responses into formats suitable for ASP to write HTML responses. Map Viewer comes pre-configured to access map services such as the ESRI_Quake and ESRI_Landuse map services on the Geography Network. Configure Map Viewer to access your own map services by editing the mapviewer.xml XML file. Set desired default settings (e.g. image size and scale bar map units) by editing the properties.xml XML file that comes with Map Viewer. No need to edit ASP. No ASP Application or Session variables. All client state preserved in HTML form. No HTML frames. All content is in a single page. Use the browser's Back and Forward buttons to revisit previous map pages and then pan/zoom the map to a different location or use a different map function than before.
