Features > A smooth interface
A well thought-out layout for intuitive browsing

Géoclip is an application developed using Macromedia Flash. Over the last several years, this format has been pioneering and leading the market for vectorial format publishing on the Internet.

Thanks to its ease of connection to any database, it is particularly adapted to interactive cartography. No need to install an enormous plug-in, no need to change browsers: the Flash player supports all configurations, is free and lightweight. What’s more, chances are it is already installed on your computer.

Géoclip uses a variety of Flash features, which allow for high levels of interactivity and a smooth, fast and intuitive interface. Whether by clicking on the map or by using the many buttons available on the tool palette, the user can use various interactive features:

choosing the area to be mapped,

zooming and moving,

viewing additional information,

selecting geographic areas,

plotting the statistical distribution for intuitive threshold adjustments,

setting cartography parameters (selecting variables, colours, thresholds, and so on),

setting printing parameters...

The Flash format is compact and provides lightweight files that are easy to load, even without a broadband connection.
Approximate size of swf files for a Géoclip application: under 100Kb for the interface and base map of an area comprising less than 500 objects.

The Flash player is a strong, powerful application. It can process a great number of items and is therefore perfectly suited for displaying maps comprising of thousands of objects.
Approximate number of objects processed in a Géoclip application: up to 6,000 objects.

Flash allows Géoclip to be connected to multiple databases. For more information, click here.
