medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
From: Dave Postles
Subject: assistance with mapping
I'd like to bring a recent development to the attention of the list since it may be of inestimable value to postgraduates for their dissertations and papers. The Friends of the Centre for English Local History in its series of Papers has published a mapping tutorial by a software developer, Mandy deBelin. This tutorial addresses both CorelDraw and GenMapUK. GenMapUK which is a quick-and-dirty package which produces polysymbol distribution maps and county floodfill maps for the British Isles (using historical county boundaries). I'd like to mention one other recent development. The idea is to provide a hands-on tutorial to familiarise people with the basics of the two packages by doing a specific project. What you receive is the tutorial in paper copy, but also the tutorial on a disk with a .gif image of an historical map for one of the hands-on projects. The mapping tutorial is available for the inconsiderable price of £6 sterling plus p+p. We hope that this tutorial will assist postgraduates to produce Figures of good quality for their dissertations and papers and so ww hope that you do not mind our bringing it to a wider attention.
