Design Philosophy

Previous Top Next

---

The design of this program attempts to adhere to the following principles:

1.    Build on the functionality already in Mapinfo rather than duplicating it in this program

2.    Make the most commonly used task the easiest to use

3.    The simplest possible user interface

4.    Assume that the more advanced the function the more experienced the Mapinfo user that wants to use it.

The resulting program implementation assumes:

1.    the most common task is to load a single table and then convert it to KML

2.    the Mapinfo Label tool will be used to create the highly customisable names and descriptions for each object in each layer

3.    the Mapinfo Workspace will be used to save any custom settings
