A number of map projections are supported, allowing appropriate display of any part of the world, including the poles. A built in scripting language allows you to create map animations and to link AGIS to other applications such as database queries. Scripting, combined with the ability to save map views in a number of raster formats also allows you to use AGIS to provide low cost vector-based map serving to your own web pages. On importing a map, the projection type, projection origin, minimum resolution and map boundaries can be specified by the user. Practically, however, processing time for extremely large map or data files would be an important consideration.
Users can edit the agis.sym file and design and add their own symbols.

I have now tested and experimented with the software for some days and it works great. Looking for such a program for a couple of years, it is just what I was looking for. Thank you AGIS for providing GIS users with an excellent and cost effective program.
