  • Mapyrus is a software project created by Simon Chenery

(simoc@users.sourceforge.net)

  • Mapyrus is available for download from SourceForge

(http://mapyrus.sourceforge.net)

  • Mapyrus is software for creating plots of points, lines,

polygons, labels and images to PostScript (high resolution, up to A0 paper size), Portable Document Format (PDF), Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) format and web image output formats (PNG, JPEG, PNM).

  • Mapyrus is built on the excellent Java2D graphics library

included in Java

  • Mapyrus provides a BASIC/LOGO/scripting type language for

drawing shapes, labels and images

  • Mapyrus runs as a UNIX-style utility program
  • Sequences of instructions can be built into re-usable functions

  • Mapyrus is most useful when used with Geographic Information

System (GIS) datasets containing geometrical data.

  • Mapyrus can read data from text files, ESRI Shapefiles, or

from an RDBMS using a Java JDBC connection
