Overview

CARIS Paper Chart Composer creates and maintains stand-alone multi-panel paper chart products. With Paper Chart Composer, you can open an existing vector file – such as an ENC, HOB file or CARIS file – and use it to create a paper chart with panels and sheets. Later the chart can exported to another format such PostScript or TIFF.

With Paper Chart Composer, you can:

open a vector file and use it to create a paper chart product

add additional panels to the chart

digitize new geographic or cartographic features

insert cartographic features such as borders, scale bars, and annotations

use validation tools to ensure that there is no missing or conflicting information in the chart

apply certification status flags so that data has been checked and verified before the chart is printed

export the sheet, panel or panel area to different formats, including TIFF, Portable Document Format (PDF), and Postscript
