Introduction

Overview

Maplicity is a lightweight Java applet that acts as a client to ESRI ArcIMS. It is designed to be easy to use for the novice, and immediately familiar to the geospatial professional. Maplicity provides the end user a number of capabilities not currently available in other existing client applications. We hope that it is able to meet all your needs and therefore helps fullfill the potenial of the internet.

System Requirements

Maplicity is designed to run in any web browser the is able to use the Sun Java 2 plug-in (1.3.0 or later). (Usually this version 4.x and higher for Netscape and Internet Explorer.) Maplicity will prompt you to download the plug-in if you do not already have it installed.

Maplicity requires a minimal screen resolution of 800 pixels wide by 600 pixels high in order to display all the tool bars simulateously.

If a mapping website is serving mulit-spectral imagery, the images will look best if the client display is set to true color.
