raster map

easymap offers you the possibility to create graphics provided with coordinate information (format GeoTiff), to be placed exactly in position under an existing map.

easymap includes a few raster maps in the standard scope of digital maps - one elevation relief each for Germany, Europe and the world as well as a shaded map for Germany and Europe. After installing the base maps, you will find them in the control window base maps in the folder raster maps (GeoTiff).

Insert raster map

You can insert raster maps like the other maps by dragging and dropping them onto a sheet, the only requirement is that a base map (e.g. postcode areas) has already been inserted on the map. Custom raster maps can also be inserted via the control window Objects > Geography > Raster map/image onto an existing map via drag&drop.

Note: If there is no coordinate information contained in the graphic, an error message will appear and the graphic may not be positioned accurately.

Properties

The properties of the raster map can be accessed via the control window Content. Here you can, for example, embed the graphic in the workbook or set a transparency color for the background of the graphic.

The following setting options are available:
