GIS functionality

Visum allows you to include data from geographic information systems (GIS) into your model. Both ESRI shape files (file extension *.shp) and the Personal Geodatabase (PGD) are supported. Visum also offers typical GIS functions such as the different objects or different coordinate systems for georeferencing your network. Furthermore, functions for visualization (legends, backgrounds, texts, polygons) are offered, which make network data preparation for presentations easier.

Other GIS typical functions have already been discussed at some other point:

• Integrating symbolic illustrations (Points of Interest (POI))
• Showing and hiding layers (User Manual: Editing the display and order of drawing settings for graphic layers)
• Freely definable coloring for network objects (User Manual: Specifying basic settings for the Network editor window)
