1 Introduction to the Map Visualization Component 23.2

The Oracle Spatial map visualization component (sometimes referred to the visualization component) is a programmable tool for rendering maps using spatial data managed by Oracle Spatial.

The map visualization component provides tools that hide the complexity of spatial data queries and cartographic rendering, while providing customizable options for more advanced users. These tools can be deployed in a platform-independent manner and are designed to integrate with map-rendering applications.
