| Maptician2 - Redistricting and Mapping
Software Maptician2 is simple to use
software that can view and query spatial data. It is designed to work with Arcview
shapefiles. Maptician2 can display data in a variety of formats including map views,
in spreadsheet format, or as graphs. dBase files can be imported and exported using
Maptician2. It can also produce formatted output of maps or data. Maptician2 can be used
as a data mining tool for analyzing and interrogating spatial data.
Maptician2 can be used in conjunction with autoBound
software to view and make simple edits to redistricting plans. Refer to the section
autoBound4 Data and Plan Setup for instructions for accessing and using autoBound data
within Maptician2.
Redistricting with Maptician2
Direct Compatibility with autoBound
Maptician2 can open autoBound workspaces for editing without the need for translation.
This feature allows administrative users to view and adjust plans without the need for
import and export of data. It should be noted that autoBound's security features provide
the ability to restrict Maptician2 users to view-only functionality.
Free Unlimited Licenses when used with autoBound
Unlimited licenses of Maptician2 Viewing Software are offered with each purchase of
autoBound. The serial number for Maptician2 is associated with the autoBound serial
number. In other words, Maptician2 licenses installed under the license agreement for a
given contract will only read autoBound plans associated with that purchase agreement.
Maptician2 may be installed in state libraries or other state and local offices in order
to offer the public the opportunity to participate in the redistricting process. |

Public Access to Redistricting
Maptician2 may be installed in state libraries or other state and local offices in
order to offer the public the opportunity to participate in the redistricting process. An
agency may also post Maptician2 on its Website with available autoBound plans to review.
Automated Redistricting
Maptician2 provides automated tools which will enable
rapid creation of boundaries based on defined parameters such as capacity or desired
population. The automated tool can be used to generate an entire plan or be limited
to a user defined area.

More Features of Maptician2
Active Matrix
Maptician2 also includes the Active Matrix Excel compatible spreadsheet. As district
boundaries are redrawn, the Active Matrix displays the population and demographic totals
for each district. Users can add their own formulas in order to compute user defined
parameters.

Maptician2 provides a comprehensive map-making tool which enables users to create
hardcopy maps of the redistricting plan. Maps can also be exported to other desktop
applications such as WordPerfect, MSWord, Lotus 123 and CorelDraw.
Target Audience
Maptician2 was designed for administrators and managers who need simple to use software
to access mapping data. It was designed to be so intuitive that little or no training is
needed. Maptician2 allows the user to view (pan and zoom) maps. Maptician2 also provides
facilities for printing reports and making map outputs.

from yellow to red the lowest to the highest density of Hispanic voters in the plan area.)
Report Tool
Maptician2 provides the ability to create hardcopy reports for preview and output to
any windows printer. Reports can also be exported to any of 20 file formats for use in
other desktop applications such as WordPerfect, MSWord and Excel.

Maps and reports created in Maptician2 may be exported to HTML format for use on the
Internet. In this way, an agency can request public input on the proposed plans.
