Collins RMS A Web based Resource Management System

ICMap - GIS Web publishing software. ICMAP Sample Project included Windows 2000/XP. Creates Transparent GIF files that can be overlaid to produce composite images, creates Hotspots from graphic features (Lines, Polygons, Symbols and Text) for Hyperlinks with hover hints.  The result is a GIS Web site that is composed of static images viewed as an infinite continuous map at multiple scales. See an which has no server requirements.

ICMap Capabilities:  Create Tiled Multiple Level Images. Create the fastest GIS Web maps possible, taking full advantage of the web browser technology to display an infinite and continuous map with pan and zoom capabilities. Create maps similar or Identical in structure to those used by Google Maps and Virtual Earth. 1 to 20 mapping scales (Levels), 1 Image on Level 1,  to  274,877,906,944 Images on Level 20 User definable Tiling Schemes Create any number of sets of images that can be overlaid to create composite images Control the display characteristics for each layer at each mapping scale Extensive Graphical and Attribute criteria filtering Create from: Shape Files ESRI Personal Database (*.mdb) AutoCAD DWG version 12 Microstation DWG  Tiger Line Files MS-Access MDB Excel Tables Dxf (all versions) Common Ground Files (*.cg2) Cogo Files (*.cgo) User definable Complex Line Styles User definable Color Tables User definable Fill Patterns User definable Icons User definable Fill Gradients  Extensive Text Labeling with overstrike and duplication reduction logic Highway Shields, Shapes and User Bitmaps as Text backgrounds 21 Geographic Map Projections, including UTM ,State Plane and Google Maps Mercator Projections Batch Process Add Hotspots to Images, using Lines, Text, Symbols and Polygons No Limit, (IE 6.0 has a practical limit of about 3000 that can be loaded at any one time, you simply build hotspots at tile levels where this limit is not exceeded, we have an example of 1.3 Million parcels with hotspots on each polygon at the 3 bottom Tile Levels). Created during image creation Separated into text files matching the image and loaded with the image Include Hover hints User defined actions for all browser events, onClick, onHover,... Moves with the images as it is being panned Attach database attributes Export GIS database, to support your web application, for example create a database that your page can access using standard methods both for the attributes and for the graphical coordinates Include Graphical Coordinates  Include Database attributes User defined columns Apply Map Projections to Coordinates Apply common functions to values export to: Comma Separated Values (CSV) to be loaded using the web browser TDC component XML Access (*.mdb) Excel (*.xls) Scalable Vector Graphics (svg) Common Ground (*.cs2)  GIS Database to HTML, to support your web application, for example create an HTML page for each school location shown on the map Template based conditional statements, (CASE Statement and IF Statement) VBA functions  Group Headings Page breaks by condition or by count Server Side Image Server IIS Windows CGI  Reference image using a Uniform Mapping Locator (UML) Composite Images from local and remote images Returns:  Static GIS Images Dynamic Animated GIS Images Client Side Java Scripts Display Tiles Images as a continuous view  Load Dynamic Hotspots Pan Zoom Window Multiple Layers XML Linkage Dynamic Graphics using VML Create from script Create from user actions Cut, Copy and Paste  Upload, Download Graphic Elements 2 Point Line Multiple Point Line Polygon Sketch Rectangle Circle Arc  Symbol Text Image Shapes  Call Box  Drop Down Menu, user definable menu for commands to control your web mapping application Position Definable User definable Background Color, Font and Size  Selection of built-in commands Viewing commands Graphic Commands Feature Selection Icon and Text on Menu Component Types Labels Images Radio Buttons Check Boxes Text Edit Transparency Control Level Control ODBC to Html, create complex web sites from an ODBC database Template Controlled Perform SQL Commands within a page Nested Template Pages Nested Template Tables Group By Page Break by Count or Condition Conditional Statements (CASE and IF) Pass arguments between nested pages / tables State and County FIPS and Abbreviation functions VBA Statements Use of extensive System Values  GIS HTML Page Template Based - Standard HTML Add Dropdown Menu Component Scale Bar Component Edit in FrontPage include 0 or More Index Maps Attached 1 or more graphic views Box Indicating selected view region Highlight Hover Graphics to navigate attached view(s) Drag View indicator to change attached view(s) Click location to center attached view(s) Include 0 or More Views on a single web page Client or Server Based Views Fixed or Selectable Layers 4 Image Planes to build composite image URL independent on each plane  (an example is to view basemap from 1 site and overlay facilities from another) Adjustable Transparency on each plane Dynamic HTML Filters  1 Hot Spot Plane  1 Foreign Map Plane Google Maps Microsoft's Virtual Earth User definable Add Dynamic Graphics (see: above) Pan, Zoom, Windowing, Measure Adjustable properties Size Borders Background color Built-in Navigation menus All Capabilities of ICMap are designed to create a fully functional Graphical Web System by creating structures that are already in web browser compatible formats (HTML, Images, CSV and XML).  The Links below are to an example of a system that has no server requirements.    Benefits: Speed, all maps are in final display form and are simply referenced using a file or URL address Cost, the resultant pages have no server requirements and therefore cost can be controlled, no special software Independency,  no server requirements, no special needs, no special hardware, no project size assumptions Share-ability,  use maps from other projects as a basemap or as reference layers Commonality,  a common platform for your future corporate software development. Using the web browser as your development environment provides the most supported platform in history, and we believe will be stable for the next 25 to 50 years if we stay to the basic structures. Historical database, a by-product of creating images Simple Disaster Recovery, remove dependencies you remove complications
