Displaying Maps
Overview
The process of displaying a map involves linking to or embedding a specific
map in a Web page. The Autodesk MapGuide Viewer installed on each user
machine runs automatically to display the map. This means that your users
can view the same map with one of three Autodesk MapGuide Viewers
(Autodesk MapGuide Viewer ActiveX Control, Autodesk MapGuide Viewer
Plug-In, or Autodesk MapGuide Viewer, Java Edition), depending on which
ones you support. If your users are unable to download or install an Autodesk
MapGuide Viewer, or if they do not need query or more advanced function-
ality provided by Autodesk MapGuide Viewers, they can use Autodesk
MapGuide
®
LiteView instead. For more information about this viewing solu-
tion, see “Map Display for Autodesk MapGuide LiteView” on page 26.
The Autodesk MapGuide Viewers you choose to support depend on the
browser operating environment of your users. The programming or scripting
languages you use to develop your applications depend on the Autodesk
MapGuide Viewers you support. For a detailed discussion of these options,
refer to “Choosing a Viewer/Browser Environment” in the
Autodesk
MapGuide User’s Guide
.
The following table summarizes the combinations supported by Autodesk
MapGuide.
