1 Introduction

1.1 HTML ImageMapper NG2

HTML ImageMapper NG2 is the easiest, fastest and most comfortable solution to
convert ArcGIS projects into attractive and interactive Online-GIS-applications.
With the Wizard-based ArcGIS-Extension, you export maps from ArcGIS to the
internet or intranet as well as to CD or DVD for use.

The maps continue to be interactive, which means the user can zoom into the
map part, display attribute information and carry out queries covering all data.
By clicking on objects, he can furthermore display images or films, bring in sound
effects or activate hyperlinks.

HTML ImageMapper NG2 is one of the easiest and most cost-efficient solutions
to create maps as fast, simply and cheaply as possible out of the GIS. You as the
author are in complete control over the cartographic quality and the user
interactions.

With the authoring system, you will achieve results in only a few minutes.
Your benefit:

• Creating online-GIS-applications in a few minutes


• Taking over cartography from ArcGis projects
• Theme browser: Switching between different themes and views
• Export of maps for Google Earth
• New authoring system – modern, clear, intuitive
• Comfortable layout design with style sheets
• Batch-function: time-controlled, fully automatic processing
• Tile manager: Export of the complete GIS project in the form of image tiles
conform to ArcGIS Server
• No programming necessary
• Excellent cost performance ratio
2 How do we Work with HTML ImagemapperNG2

2.1
After the successful installation you load or create your map in ArcGIS as usual.
Now you start the “HTML ImageMapper NG2” extension by clicking the yellow
hand. “Loading in ArcMap”.
2.2
The current map extent is displayed by default. In order to change this, click on
the magnifier to zoom in (A) and pull open a box in the preview map. If you are
pleased with the new scale, you can accept it with "Add current scale" (B) (or
continue adapting it with the two magnifying glass functions). You can later zoom
in the online map between the set up scales.
2.3:
The General Settings are next. Enter the map title and if required the subtitle (A).
Choose HTML as the output format (B). In the last step you just have to specify
Where you want to save your project(C).

2.4:
Continue by clicking the Features tab on the HTML Export tab (A). Here you will
assign an action to layers and their objects respectively, which is carried out by
clicking them. First select from "Clickable layers" (B) the one you wish. Leave the
click-function on “Show attributes” and choose under “Attributes” (C) the ones to
be displayed when clicking on the object. If you select "Set searchable” (D), your
online map can be searched for attributes of the chosen layer. Additionally you
can have a link list created (E) from which you can later choose your desired
feature
2.5:
Continue with "Layout” (A).
Activate "Infobar” (B) and “Include title” (C) in order to entitle your map. To add
more elements to the map, click "Include coordinates" (D) as well as “include
scale bar” (E) to show them.
An outline map can be created by clicking "Include overview map”(F). A dialog
window will open.
Choose the layers you want to use for the overview map (A). Click on “refresh
preview” (B) to take a look at the result. If your are satisfied with the result you
can confirm and click on “save settings” (C).
We leave the manifold settings for the appearance of the map on the default
settings.

2.6:
In the tab „output“ you can choose the format of the output tiles if required (A). At
first do not change the default settings.
Click on “Start” (B) and the request after preocessing in your browser.
You can then marvel at the result of the few efforts you went through:
5 Publishing maps
In this chapter the created data is shortly outlined and it is described how to
publish it
on the internet most effectively.
5.1 Directory structure
The directory structure of the created web map is the following: (when using one
Theme

5.1.1 Folder GIS


The folder „GIS“ will only be created if you activated the option “tiles” under
general
settings. The folder contains all tiles and world files that can be used
independently
from the HTML-project.
5.1.2 Folder KML
This folder contains the necessary files for depiction in Google Earth. If you
would
have a KMZ-file created you would find that here as well.
5.1.3 Folder WEB
The web folder contains all the files which have to be uploaded to the FTP server
in
order to publish your project.
The most important file in this folder is “index.html”. Double-click on this file to
open
your project in the browser. All other files are accessed automatically.
By means of the folder numeration, different themes are distinguished, “lists_0”
designating the first theme, “lists_1” the second theme, and so on.
Hint: Do not, by any means, make any changes in the directory structure.
The directory "web” contains the following subfolders:
• attributes: Contains the attribute data for the click action “Show attributes”.
• design: Contains all design elements
• geoTiles: Contains the allocations of the individual objects to a tile.
• languages: Contains all language files.
• lists: Contains all list data.
• maptileimages: Contains all map tiles.
• scripts: Contains all javascript files.
• searchIndex: Contains all necessary files for the search function.
• hot: This folder is only created if you have activated “Hotlink” as click action
under the index tab “Layer”. Copy all hotlink files manually into this folder.
