Master of Science in Computer Science
The thesis explores polyline and polygon plotting on a map using Map Objects. It enables users to plot polyline and polygon on a map. This thesis makes use of a recent technology which enables users to plot data without buying expensive software. Moreover using a computer simulation rather than referring to a paper map is much more engaging and better aligned to the interests of modern users. User can save the plotted polygon and polyline as a shape file or a text file. A user can easily load their data points from a text file and the application will plot a polyline or polygon based on the co-ordinates provided in the file. The application also computes the total distance of the polyline as well as the perimeter of the polygon plotted by the user. A customized toolbar has been added to make the GUI of the application more users friendly. Help System has been embedded into the application to guide the user.
The application utilizes Map Objects Java Edition and Java programming language.Every attempt has been made to present subject in depth using a user friendly interface.
