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
