With the distribution of the module, two map data files are also included. "allcounty.txt" is ASCII data for boundaries of ALL counties in the United States, including Alaska, Hawaii and Perto Rico. "countryd.txt" is ASCII data for boundaries of the states. Users may construct their own boundary map according to the format. This is one of a suite of modules we used to plot the emission data for the state of North Carolina. This group of modules allows displaying points, lines and polygons over a map of the United States. The module suite is stored as a group in a compressed tar file at the International AVS Center, with some sample networks and datasets included. You may find it easier to access the modules this way. The compressed tar file is approximately 1.2MB in size, and can be found via anonymous ftp to avs.ncsc.org, in ftp/avs/Data/avs_dataWang_GIS_mods.tar.Z.</p></td></tr> <tr><td align="left" colspan="3"><table class="avs5_repository"> <tr valign="top"><td><b>Author:</b></td><td>Jeff Wang, MCNC, Environmetal Programs Group</td></tr> <tr><td><b>Version:</b></td><td>1.000</td></tr> <tr><td><b>Language:</b></td><td>C</td></tr> <tr> <td><b>Path:</b></td><td>source/data_output/Draw_Map/</td></tr> </table></td></tr> <tr><td align="left" colspan="3"><p> <a href="Draw_Map.shtml" target="_top"> <img src="../../../../../img/doc_mod.gif" border="0" width="30" height="30" alt="Module Document - Draw_Map"></a> <a href="source/data_output/Draw_Map/Draw_Map.tar.gz"> <img src="../../../../../img/targz.gif" border="0" width="52" height="30" alt="Archive - Draw_Map.tar.gz"></a> <a href="source/data_output/Draw_Map/Draw_Map.tar.Z"> <img src="../../../../../img/tarz.gif" border="0" width="52" height="30" alt="Archive - Draw_Map.tar.Z"></a> <a href="source/data_output/Draw_Map/Draw_Map.zip"> <img src="../../../../../img/zip.gif" border="0" width="52" height="30" alt="Archive - Draw_Map.zip"></a> </p></td> </tr> </table> <br> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>  <html> <head> <title>Draw_Map</title> </head> <body bgcolor=#FFFFCC> <h2>Draw_Map</h2> <h3>Author </h3> <blockquote> <pre> Jeff Wang, MCNC, Environmetal Programs Group </pre> </blockquote> <h3>Description</h3> <blockquote> <P align=justify>This module allows users to draw the United States map with state boundary and county boundary.
