The SDF Loader can also generalize your map data if it will be displayed at smaller scales (zoomed out), which improves performance and reduces required storage space. The SDF Loader is distributed on the Autodesk MapGuide CD. For more information, refer to the SDF Loader Help (SDFLOAD.HLP) located in the SDF Loader folder. SDF Component Toolkit The SDF Component Toolkit is a set of COM (Common Object Model) objects for reading and writing Spatial Data Files (SDF), Spatial Index Files (SIF), and Key Index Files (KIF), the native spatial data file formats of Autodesk MapGuide products. You can access SDF Component Toolkit objects in development languages and environments such as C++, Visual Basic, VBA, VBScript, Java, JScript, ASP, CGI, and ColdFusion. Using these languages and environments, you can do the following: Write applications that convert spatial data to SDFs. Write applications that modify SDFs generated by Autodesk Map, Autodesk World®, or SDF Loader. Create server-side applications that read and modify existing SDFs. These applications can interact with client-side scripts, allowing for dynamic updates based on user input. For more information, refer to the SDF Component Toolkit Help (SDFCOMTK.HLP) located in the \Help folder in the SDF Component Toolkit folder. Raster Workshop The Raster Workshop is a utility that allows you to optimize your raster images, which improves performance when they are accessed by Autodesk MapGuide. You can generate TIFF files and tiled TIFF files (tiled TIFF files improve performance) from standard image formats, create raster image catalog (RIC) files, and manipulate the images that are referenced by the RIC. You can then use the TIFF and RIC files with Autodesk MapGuide, or use the TIFF files with other Autodesk products that support raster images. The Raster Workshop is distributed on the Autodesk MapGuide CD. For more information, refer to the Raster Workshop Help (RASTER.HLP) located in the Raster Workshop folder. 34 | Chapter 2 Understanding Autodesk MapGuide
