See Views Maps Reader Framework.Classes implementing load-on-demand for managing large volumes of data. See Using Load-On-Demand.Classes implementing predefined readers for various commonly-used cartographic formats, such as CADRG, DTED, or Oracle Spatial. See Predefined Readers.Classes for managing georeferencing and reprojection of geographic coordinates. See Map Projections.Note: In this manual the term package is referred to as the class whose header file is in a directory that has the same name of the package.
