Reading, merging, and projecting mapping data is a daunting task that takes time and specific skills. ILOG Views Maps helps you shorten schedules and reduce the cost and risk associated with developing mapping applications.

Sunlight projection demonstration
This demonstration, developed in just a few days, shows how ILOG Views 2D Graphics and the ILOG Views Maps add-on can be used to develop an application that projects sunlight on the earth. The example illustrates advanced features such as:

• Prebuilt controls for developing user interfaces
• Ability to read different types of image formats
• Various mapping projections for representing the earth
• Changing observation points
• Conversion of cursor position into latitude and longitude
• Fast panning and zooming capabilities
• Local zooming lens (press Ctrl and click the map)
• Multi-layer management (to show city names or a grid)
