MID/MIF Reader UML Diagram
This section describes the ilog.views.maps.format.midmif package, which allows you to read files provided in the MapInfo Interchange File (MIF) format.
A MapInfo Interchange Format consists of a MIF file containing the geometries and rendering attributes, and a MID file containing the attributes attached to each geometry.
The MIF file is an ASCII text file that describes the geometry data associated with rendering attributes such as pen and brush styles, font, and color that should be used to transform geometries into graphic objects. The reader classes provided with the JViews Maps package allow you to use either the information contained in the MIF file or your own rendering attributes.
