The Presentation

The presentation is in three parts, each showing an aspect of the interface in a real geographical application:

- Projections: The menu and button interface, showing all projections available in MapServer
- Globe: Zoom and Pan, with some ten world raster maps (satellite, elevation, etc), each with a resolution of 30 seconds or 1 km at the equator
- Amsterdam: Advanced overlay techniques with the city map of Daniel Stalpaert from 1662.

The text is divided in standalone pages without scrollbars, at least if your screen resolution is at least 1000*700. You can use a smaller screen, but then you'll have to scroll a lot and the screenshots will be difficult to read. Everything can be accessed without a mouse. Pages can be navigated with the pgUp/pgDown keys, with the nex/previous buttons at the top of the page, or by clicking in the table of contents. Screenshots are indicated by a
. They can be navigated by the keyboard arrows and viewed by entering or clicking. When looking at a screenshot, pressing any key will return you to the text (as well as pushing the back button of your browser, or clicking in the table of contents). Oh, and by the way, don't push the buttons on the screenshots: they won't work.

Feedback will be very welcome.
