Autodesk MapGuide SDF Component Toolkit Autodesk MapGuide 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 SDF files.  Write applications that modify SDF files generated by AutoCAD Map, Autodesk World, or Autodesk MapGuide SDF Loader.  Create server-side applications that read and modify existing SDF files. These applications can interact with client-side scripts, allowing for dynamic updates based on user input. The SDF Component Toolkit is distributed on the Autodesk MapGuide Author and Autodesk MapGuide Server CDs. For more information, refer to Autodesk MapGuide SDF Component Toolkit Help (SDFCOMTK.HLP) located in the \Help directory under your SDF Com Toolkit directory. Autodesk MapGuide Raster Workshop Autodesk MapGuide 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 Author CD. For more information, refer to Autodesk MapGuide Raster Workshop Help (RASTER.HLP) located in the Raster Workshop directory. 32 | Chapter 2 Understanding Autodesk MapGuide
