might not generalize well, because their boundaries might not line up properly afterwards. Trim feature names if they are not used. You can use the /NULLNAME switch in SDF Loader to do this. Also, use the /LINK switch to specify the URL column(s) only if you plan to use the URLs. For raster images, use Raster Workshop to create uncompressed, subsampled, tiled TIFF files. Choosing a Viewer/Browser Environment As you plan your Autodesk MapGuide application, there are four major components you need to consider: Operating system-Will your users be running Windows, Mac OS, or Solaris to view maps? Web browser-Will your users be running Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer? Or do you want to create a stand-alone application to run the Viewer, so that a browser is not necessary? Autodesk MapGuide Viewer/LiteView-Depending on which operating system and browser your users have, they will use the Autodesk MapGuide Viewer ActiveX Control, Autodesk MapGuide Viewer Plug-In, or Autodesk MapGuide Viewer, Java™ Edition. If all of your users are running the same operating system and browser (such as on a corporate intranet), you can develop your application for one version of Autodesk MapGuide Viewer. However, if your users all have different setups and thus use all versions of the Autodesk MapGuide Viewer, you will need to develop your application to handle all three. If you do not need the full interactivity of Autodesk MapGuide Viewer and you need complete cross-platform support, you can consider using LiteView to deliver raster-based maps with limited interactivity. Scripting language-Which language will you use to develop your appli- cation? Each version of Autodesk MapGuide Viewer is accessible from one or more specific languages.
