Powerful GIS and IPS for MacOS

December 1995

MicroImages announces the availability of V5.2 of its TNT products (TNTmips^®, the Map and Image Processing System; TNTview ^TM; and TNTatlas ^TM) for native operation on the Apple Mac and Power Mac platforms using MicroImages X Servers. This release, which began shipping in December 1995, provides an integrated GIS, image processing, CAD, desktop mapping and cartographic software system for Macintosh computers.

The Mac versions of TNT products provide equal performance on the Power Mac platform when compared to these identical TNT products operated on Pentium platforms under Microsoft Windows 95 or NT or on any current entry level workstation. TNTmips^® (90 Mb when installed on the Mac) provides an integrated approach to spatial data analysis and display that equals or exceeds the performance of other advanced professional products on any platform. In addition, matching the breadth of TNTmips on any platform would require the purchase of several of the most advanced, but separate GIS, image processing, CAD, and desktop cartographic products, which are not available at all for Macintosh computers.

TNTmips provides professional, integrated image processing, GIS, CAD, desktop mapping, and spatial database tools within a single, full-featured, software solution that runs identically on all platforms. Long standing features include raster, vector, CAD, TIN display, editing, and interconversion; pin mapping (symbolic map overlays from database query); symbol, line, and fill pattern design tools; automated map legend generation; wide support for X-Y digitizers, scanners, plotters, and printers (laser, thermal transfer, ink jet, sublimation); database query for selection and styling of points, lines, and polygons; interactive tabular selection and viewing for vector, CAD, and TIN objects; 3-D display; video capture; mosaicking; georeferencing and warping to many map projections; elevation mapping and orthoimage creation; classification and interpretation; statistical measurements; smart line-following; buffer zone creation; polygon fitting; watershed and viewshed analysis; screen and page layout including scale bars, map grids, and legends; outline annotation fonts and tools; and customization with Spatial Manipulation Language. TNTmips interactive user interface now provides toolbars with ToolTips for 120 small color icons for commonly used actions. Icons can also be selected and organized into moveable toolbars to provide graphic access to commonly used, large processing modules, such as importing or exporting to a specific format. Rapid, individualized software support via phone, FAX, or email without cost has also been a contributing factor to the wide geographic spread of TNTmips to 75 nations.
