MPSuperShape is a shape manipulation tool for Microsoft MapPoint.
MPSuperShape can be used to combine multiple shapes into one large shape, find the overlaps between shapes, and import/export shape files.
Import shape options include ESRI Shape (SHP) files, MapInfo MIF files, and GML.
MPSuperShape can also export to GML.
Possible applications include:
* Combining drive-time areas to find the total area covered by existing depots.
* Finding territory overlaps.
* Finding areas which meet multiple characteristics.
* Transferring shapes to/from other GIS systems.
MPSuperShape provides the following benefits:
* Combine multiple shapes
* Find the intersection (overlap) between shapes
* Import shapes from external (non-MapPoint) files
* Export shapes to external (non-MapPoint) files
* Copy shapes between different MapPoint maps - reuse the same shapes on multiple maps!
The import and export options support GML.
GML is an XML-based open GIS format that is managed by the Open Geospatial Consortium.
Requirements: MapPoint 2006 (or later), .NET Framework 2.0 (or later), and Windows XP or Vista required.
