It started with a white box…

• The core MapWindow component is a programming object (think “MapObjects”) that can be added to a form in Visual Basic or other languages supporting ActiveX

…and a graphical user interface…• A Programmable

GIS that supports:– Visualization– Data analysis– Modeling– Custom GIS

application development

…and plug-ins.

•Water Quality Analyst

•Streamflow Analyst

•PhotoViewer

•TIN Builder/Viewer

•Grid Wizard

Implement both the OpenMI LinkableComponent and MapWindow plug-in interfaces

Now the model can interact with the map directly (through MapWindow.iPlugin), as well as with other models (through OpenMI.iLinkable Component).

This approach serves as a design pattern that could be used to integrate OpenMI more tightly with ArcMap, for example.
