MapViewer 0.2

This is the second preliminary version of the AmazonGIS MapViewer interface, based upon the default HTML/Javascript viewer of ArcIMS. Its primary purpose is to incorporate basic functionality into the new template for the AmazonGIS web site. Many features and refinements will be added in future versions of the viewer.

Features Copied from Version 0.1:
  • A single viewer instance that handles multiple Map Services.
  • Visually matches graphics and layout of new AGIS site.
  • Concentrates focus on the most simple and often used tools.
  • Includes names on the tool buttons for easier identification.
  • Normal (IFRAME in template) and full screen modes.
  • Improved presentation of layers interface.
  • Receives parameters in query string to start off with a layer visible.
    (allows linking from sample map interface on the front page)

Features Added to this Version:

  • An XML Log function that shows all requests and responses between the browser and the server for the current session.
  • Further refinements to the look and feel of the interface.

Future versions will include:

  • Support for more tools and tool groups.
  • View layers from more than one data source.
  • Retain state (visible layers and zoom position) on viewer size change.
