Features of the Workspace Manager
The Workspace Manager allows you to control most of the settings that can be stored in a
workspace file. For example, a workspace can contain information about cartographic legends and
adornments; however, the Workspace Manager does not provide any options for creating
cartographic legends or adornments. To create cartographic legends or adornments, use the API.
Through the Workspace Manager, you can:
• Load XML workspaces, tables, geosets, and MapInfo workspaces (.mws not .wor files).
• Save workspaces as .MWS.
• Control which tables are opened as part of a workspace.
• Create and load named connections using the Named Connection Manager.
• Add, remove, and view one or more maps.
• Toggle among maps using the tabs across the top of the Map window.
• Set properties for map and layer visibility, layer and label styles, and themes with the built in
layer control.
• Add, remove, or alter custom labels.
• Create group layers, which allow you to organize your layers into logical groupings, so that you
can show or hide the entire group with a single click.
• View multiple next and previous map views.
• Use map tools for navigation and manual label placement, and use selection tools to verify that
layer selectability settings are correct.
• Preview and print maps.
• Quickly open recent workspaces from the recent file list
• Create translucent effects for maps, labels, and theme layers
• Create curved labels for polyline features.
• Add a graticule layer to your map.
• Reproject raster layers to current map window projection.
• Reproject a map window made up of raster and vector layers to a different projection.
