ProRaster Essential

ProRaster Essential is a must-have application that is exclusively for users of the latest version of MapInfo Pro (with or without the MapInfo Pro Raster add-in). It provides a simple-to-use, but more advanced, rendering capability for grids and images (rasters) that breaks through all of the restrictions and limitations in MapInfo Pro. Combine any rasters in an algorithm, regardless of differing coordinate systems, cell size, or band structure.

With ProRaster Essential, render and explore rasters of any size or format, displayed in stunning clarity and rendered with industry-leading speed. Create, edit, and display raster rendering algorithms that contain rasters of unlimited size, then publish the algorithm to a map in MapInfo Pro.

Using ProRaster Essential, you can quickly and easily create a rendering algorithm for rendering one or more raster datasets. As you build the algorithm, see it rendered in the preview map.

Explore raster datasets of unlimited size interactively by zooming and panning. As you zoom and pan, display the value of the raster at the cursor location in a tooltip.

Save your algorithms to MRD file and publish your algorithms to the latest version of MapInfo Pro which will display the rendered algorithm in a map.

ProRaster Essential is a part of the ProRaster product family. To decide which ProRaster product tier is right for you, please visit the product website at:

ProRaster Essential has less functionality than ProRaster Scientific or ProRaster Premium, but it is simpler to use. Please note that:

• You cannot export your rendered algorithms to located images • You cannot edit the full range of features available in a raster algorithm

If you want to display your algorithms in a GIS other than the latest version of MapInfo Pro, or you require access to the full range of editing capabilities, you ought to consider purchasing ProRaster Scientific or ProRaster Premium.

ProRaster Essential does not allow you to edit or control the following capabilities:

• Multiple layers in an algorithm are not supported (you cannot create or edit an algorithm with multiple layers). • Blending is not supported (you cannot define transparency for layers). • Opacity components are not supported (you cannot modulate opacity). • Mask and Pan components are not supported. • Event selection and data conditioning filters in components are not supported. • Transform raster sources are not supported. • The Data Transform Editor dialog is not available. • The Data Conditioning Filter Editor dialog is not available. • The Export dialog is not available. • The number of supported raster formats is restricted.

Unfortunately, not all of the algorithm features accessible in ProRaster Essential are properly implemented in MapInfo Pro. Consequently, the algorithm will be rendered differently in MapInfo Pro in some scenarios.
