The architecture of the Mercator solution

Mercator acts as an assembly and output engine to any GIS, CAD or even DTP system or combination of these.

Setting up a Mercator workflow happens as follows:
- Design your map symbology interactively in a true WYSIWIG environment (What You See Is What You Get)
- Determine normalization rules for the GIS and/or CAD data sources.
* Scale
* Position
* Object reclassification
* Geometric adjustments
* Etc.
- Determine handling rules for DTP and raster data.
* Size
* Position
* Ink handling
* Cleaning
* Etc.
- Compile a soft or hard copy proof for final approval of workflow results.
- Determine the preferred output settings. By default this will be a PDF. If desired CMYK, RGB, Bitmap or greyscale TIFF images can also be created.
