Maps as a background layer we suggest you use ‘none’ since the map will

adjust itself to one of the zoom levels provided by Google maps.

The values for the settings in row 19 to 32 are different in each of the four

example Publisher worksheets.

Background Type: Please specify here the type of background layer you

wish to include into your reports. Valid values are ‘Raster’ (for a raster

background image collection locally saved on your computer or a shared

drive), ‘WMS’ (for a Web Map Service), ‘ArcGIS’ (for an ArcGIS Server/

ArcGIS Online connection) and ‘Google’ (for Google Maps). If you do not

want to include any background mapping, please leave this property and

all following settings blank.

F.2.3.1. Using a Raster Image Collection as a Background Layer

If your Background Type is ‘Raster’, please refer to the worksheet

‘Publisher-Raster’ (Figure 149)

Figure 149

Raster Layers: Optionally you can enter the full pathnames to any

background mapping index files (xml).

In the example this is ‘C:\Program Files\GeoWise\InstantAtlas\images

\UK_Miniscale_XYZ.xml’.

If you wanted to add a second index file, your entry might look like this:

‘C:\Program Files\GeoWise\InstantAtlas\images\UK_Miniscale_XYZ.xml;

C:\Program Files\GeoWise\InstantAtlas\images\os250k.xml’

Raster Copy: This field should be set to ‘True’ if you wish background

mapping images to be copied to the output folders of the published reports.

Note that images files will only be copied over if they are located in the

same folder as the index files. If you do not wish background mapping

images to be copied to the output folders of your published reports, set this

to ‘False’.

Raster Clip: This field should be set to ‘True’ if you wish to display only

background images that overlap the base geography in your published

reports. To display all background images, set this to ‘False’.

F.2.3.2. Using a Web Map Service as a Background Layer

If your Background Type is ‘WMS’, please refer to the worksheet

‘Publisher-WMS’ (Figure 150)
