Autodesk MapGuide Author opens a new Map Window File (MWF) of the world. About Map Window Files and Map Window XML Files Autodesk MapGuide Author enables you to store each individual map as a Map Window File (MWF) or in XML format as a Map Window XML File (MWX). MWFs contain the specifications of the map window in binary format. MWXs contain the specifications of the map window in text format using XML element tags, or nodes. Both MWFs and MWXs contain map information such as the map boundary, the background color, data source information (SQL databases, SDFs, and raster image files), layers of cartographic data (such as roads and countries), layer display information (such as attributes and visible scales), and map display configuration specifications (such as menus and legends). MWFs can only be modified using Autodesk MapGuide Author. MWXs can be modified using Autodesk MapGuide Author or any XML parser. You can use the Dynamic Authoring Toolkit to perform conversions between these file formats. For more information about the Dynamic Authoring Toolkit, refer to the Dynamic Authoring Toolkit Developer's Guide. 126 | Chapter 7 Getting Familiar with Autodesk MapGuide Author
