Vertical Mapper 3.5 Features
Vertical Mapper creates grids, or continuous surfaces of information, from point data by estimating values for cells between known points.
Enjoy new access from MapBasic programming language to automate repeatable tasks and processes. Multiple sample applications provide a fast, easy start to leverage Vertical Mapper functionality in your everyday work. With support for MapInfo file format (.tab) enhancements, users will appreciate the expanded capabilities of the new Vertical Mapper file access library, including:
- Access to very large geographic objects with tens of millions of nodes
- Time and Date field type support
- Access to all MapInfo Professional
- supported datums and projections
Additional New Features in Version 3.5:
- Convenient software development kit (SDK) to add custom functionality or automate repeatable tasks
- New Grid Smoothing capability which helps manage file sizes of complex grid data as well as numerous fixes and improved functionality of many existing capabilities.
- Windows® Vista operating system support
- Simplified installation and deployment options
Predictive Analysis Tool
The Predictive Analysis tool will automatically identify areas with statistically similar attributes based on a user-defined test location. For example, the tool can suggest the best locations for additional retail outlets from the selection of an existing high-volume location.
Point Density
Users are given two methods to derive point density, either by square area or kernel smoothing. which indicates the probability of an event recurring in an area.
Correlation Tool
Users can determine relationships between data sets and view the results in tables. This can help users select representative data sets for quicker analysis. Three different options are offered:
- Correlation matrix will display the statistical relationship between input grids
- Grouper function will group statistically similar grids
- Principle component analysis provides analysis of the variance between all grids
Custom Point Estimation
Users can specify the calculation to be executed on a set of points within a specified radius. The user may select from the following types of calculations:
- Sum of Values
- Minimum Value
- Maximum Value
- Average Value
- Count of Data Points
GRC Reclass
GRC Reclass allows users to modify the class structure of a .GRC file, such as changing class names or merging classes with similar characteristics.
