The Cartographer's Annual Vol 1

Stream and Wagon Tracks

November ’07

The November issue of the Cartographer's Annual features templates and examples for a special type of symbol: Connecting catalogs that allow you to create stretches of symbols like streams, wagon tracks, etc. almost as if you were using a drawing tool. First introduced with the release of Cosmographer Pro, this Annual issue concentrates on using bitmaps and bitmap fills in these catalogs. It features a preview of the capabilities of upcoming City Designer 3.
