6.10 Printing Tools
6.10.1 Overview
Level of expertise required for this Chapter: Beginner; specifically for LUPMIS @ TCPD
For standardized, easy production of planning maps, the 'Printing Tools' have been developed at LUPMIS. They are a set of utilities, using LUPMIS maps and data, and form an 'add-on' (extension) to the GIS. You can go to the 'LUPMIS Tools' here (if installed locally through the InstallationCD).
Like all the 'LUPMIS Tools' (' Drawing Tools', ' Permit Tools' , ' Census Tools' ), they are not part of the standard Map Maker software, but customizations for the needs of TCPD and land use planning in Ghana.
Note: Technically, they are programmed in php to satisfy future requests on webbased migration of GIS services. It uses MMmacro and GIS file import and export features of Map Maker (loc, xy, mme, ptp, geo files, see also Annex 18.5).
Integration of 'LUPMIS Tools' in the 3-tier land use planning system shows following chart:
How to start the 'LUPMIS Tools'?
1. Start Map Maker. It has to run in the background.
2. Start Xampp (as installed from the 'InstallationCD') > Start Apache > Start MySQL. You can then close the Xampp Control Panel.
3. Start the 'LUPMIS Tools' from the installed LUPMIS icon at your desktop:
Alternatively, at your internet browser (e.g. Internet Explorer), type the address 'http:/localhost/'.
For the installation of the 'LUPMIS Tools' see Annex 1.1.1.
For training questions, see end of Annex 13.2.
