3.3 [Bulgaria Country Map Plugin] Balkan Stream Gas Pipeline (Bulgaria Section)

The country map plugin is a single-layered .pdf file containing the pipeline route. It can be added into the country map simply with a couple of mouse clicks. In this way, our users can assemble their own oil and gas pipeline network with other oil and gas pipeline map plugins they purchased. (Tutorial on how to add a pipeline map plugin).

 

4 Editability of Map:

Based on the layered digital map (.pdf and .ai), users can perform further development and modifications, including but not limited to:

• Adjusting the position of text and modifying its attributes such as font, font size, and color;
• Adjusting the position and size of icon symbols;
• Modifying the path of oil and gas pipelines to reflect changes caused by rerouting;
• Adding new pipelines and stations;
• Changing the border color and line weight of different administrative regions;
• Modifying the map background color.
