Cartographer's Annual 2009

The Cartographer’s Annual Vol 3

Map created with RALONG and SCATTR macros

September ’09

The September Annual brings an in-depth look at the macro capabilities of CC3. In the mapping guide Joachim de Ravenbel takes you through the use of two very powerful macros, one to create realistic-looking mountain ranges and the other to scatter symbols across a selected area. In addition the 19-page macro companion shows you how to modify macros for your own needs and how to write your very own from scratch.
