5.A. List of SVG Map Images

The following SVG map images are distributed with EDAB. They are prepared to be used for creating SVG Maps. They all have uniform look - the land is gray and borders and oceans are white. You can change the colors in any SVG editor (e.g. Inkscape) or you can edit them directly in the SVG files (this requires at least basic knowledge of the SVG format).

The maps are split in two directories according to the Area IDs naming convention. The maps in the <EDAB_Installation_directory>/MapFiles/SVG/English directory use English country (continent) names, while the maps in the <EDAB_Installation_directory>/MapFiles/SVG/ISO directory use ISO 3166-1-alpha-2 code. All Area IDs in these maps are in UPPER CASE. The English names are exactly the names from this table, only the spaces are replaced with underscores (_), because spaces are not supported in the SVG objects IDs. However, underscores are automatically converted to spaces before comparing them to the data source columns, so you should still use spaces in your data source.

These SVG map images are already inserted in the Organizer in the SVGMap project. Please note that this project is hidden in the Menu Page, but it can still be displayed and modified in Organizer and the files from this project can be used for creating maps.

This is the list of all SVG map images distributed with EDAB with short description. The <NAMING> placeholder can be one of English or ISO, depending on the naming convention used.

Africa-<NAMING>.svgMap of all countries in Africa
Americas-<NAMING>.svgMap of all countries in North and South America
Asia-<NAMING>.svgMap of all countries in Asia
Australia-<NAMING>.svgMap of all countries in Australia and Oceania
Continents-English.svgMap of the whole world divided by continents. The Area IDs are English names of the continents. This map is not available with ISO naming convention because there are no codes for the continents.
Eurasia-<NAMING>.svgMap of all countries in Europe and Asia
Europe-<NAMING>.svgMap of all countries in Europe
NorthAmerica-<NAMING>.svgMap of all countries in North America
SouthAmerica-<NAMING>.svgMap of all countries in South America
WorldCompact-<NAMING>.svgMap of all countries in the world except Antarctica.
WorldCompact-SmallCountries-<NAMING>.svgSame as WorldCompact-<NAMING>.svg, but very small countries are represented by circles, so they are more visible.
World-<NAMING>.svgMap of all countries in the world including Antarctica.
World-SmallCountries-<NAMING>.svgSame as World-<NAMING>.svg, but very small countries are represented by circles, so they are more visible.
