NAME

mapsoft_vmap (vmap_copy) -- modify and convert vector maps in mp, fig, vmap or ocad formats.

SYNTAX

        mapsoft_vmap [<global_input_options>]\
                  <input_file_1> [<input_options_1>] ... \
                  (--out|-o) <output_file> [<output_options>]

FILE PROCESSING ORDER

- Read input files. In FIG, MP, OCAD formats labels are separated from objects. In VMAP format labels can be joined with oblects. You may use --split_labels option to split them.

- Filter data according to input options.

- Merge all data.

- Join labels with objects. Create missing labels. Align points (railway stations to railways etc.)

- Filter data according to output options.

- Save into file. In case of FIG, MP, OCAD formats labels are splitted back from objects.

INPUT OPTIONS

-v, --verbose -- be verbose

--help, -h -- show help message

INPUT/OUTPUT OPTIONS

--skip_labels -- don't read labels

--read_labels -- do read labels (used to override global --skip_labels)

--split_labels -- split labels from object (be careful when using --split_labels in write options: fig, mp, and ocad does not support writing of splitted labels yet)

--set_source <arg> -- set source parameter

--set_source_from_name -- set source parameter from map name

--set_source_from_fname -- set source parameter from file name

--select_source <arg> -- copy only objects with given source

--skip_source <arg> -- copy all objects but ones with given source (select_source and skip_source options are processed before set_source_*)

--select_type <arg> -- copy only objects with given type (int value)

--skip_type <arg> -- copy all objects but ones with given type

--skip_all -- don't read any objects, only labels

--range_datum <arg> -- set datum for range setting (wgs84, pulkovo, ...)

--range_proj <arg> -- set proj for range setting (lonlat, tmerc, ...)

--range_lon0 <arg> -- set lon0 for tmerc proj in range settings

--range <arg> -- set range geometry (prefix in x coord overrides lon0)

--range_nom <arg> -- set nomenclature range (overrides range, range_datum, range_proj)

--range_action <arg> -- select actions to do with range (crop, select, skip, crop_spl, help)

--set_brd_from_range -- set map border from range/range_nom options (border from last input only goes to the output)

--set_brd <arg> -- set map border from wgs84 points

--remove_tails <arg> -- remove object tails (lines which is close to border and to other object of the same type) (range must be set)

-n, --name <arg> -- set map name

-i, --mp_id <arg> -- set mp id

-m, --rscale <arg> -- set reversed scale (50000 for 1:50000 map)

-s, --style <arg> -- set map style

OUTPUT OPTIONS

-a, --append -- don't remove map from output file

--keep_border -- (fig only) use border from the old file

--keep_labels -- (fig only) use labels from the old file

--remove_dups <arg> -- remove repeated points with given accuracy (before adding labels)

--remove_empty -- remove empty objects and lines (remove_tails and range_action do remove_empty) (before adding labels)

--join_objects <arg> -- join objects (before adding labels)

EXAMPLES

Convert map from VMAP to FIG format:

        mapsoft_vmap map.vmap -o map.fig

Convert VMAP into mp without labels:

        mapsoft_vmap map.vmap -o map.mp --skip_labels

Update vmap from mp without labels (old labels are used):

        mapsoft_vmap  map.mp --skip_labels\
            map.vmap --split_labels --skip_all -o map.vmap

Update some objects from external catalog cat.mp keeping old label positions:

        mapsoft_vmap  cat.mp --set_source "catalog"\
             map.vmap --split_labels --skip_source "catalog"\
             -o map.vmap

Create empty map:

        mapsoft_vmap -o file.fig --range_nom n37 --rscale 1000000 --set_brd_from_range
        mapsoft_vmap -o file.fig --range_datum pulkovo --range_proj tmerc\
            --range 100000x100000+7500000+6200000 --set_brd_from_range
