| - | The PDF extension allows you to print your maps to a PDF using vector art instead of a rendered bitmap. To implement this extension, we created a new class called <code>PdfGeoCanvas</code> that inherits from the abstract class <code>GeoCanvas</code>. As a result, we can easily draw all of our layers using this new <code>GeoCanvas</code> type. This is not just a cool extension for writing to PDFs, but also a fine example of how extensible the Map Suite 3.x framework is. We went from normally drawing on a bitmap with pixels to drawing to a vector PDF with points. | + | The PDF extension allows you to print your maps to a PDF using vector art instead of a rendered bitmap.
