This toolkit is used for supporting applications that incorporate dynamic map authoring, including the programmatic generation and composition of new maps or the modification of existing maps and their properties. The Dynamic Authoring Toolkit enables programmatic creation or modification of MWF files quickly, without requiring the use of Autodesk MapGuide Author. The Dynamic Authoring Toolkit serves as a conversion component, allowing for translation between binary map file formats, MWF (Map Window Files) and MLF (Map Layer Files), and its XML map file format, MWX (Map Window XML File). The Dynamic Authoring Toolkit cannot modify MWF, MLF, or MWX files. You will need to use a third-party XML tool to programatically alter and validate XML files. Autodesk MapGuide Author can now open and save MWX files. 12 | Chapter 1 Introduction
