• Borders of Municipalities
• Background Color

 

3.2 Germany Country Map

The country map itself doesn’t contain pipeline information. However, it serves as a platform into which our users can easily add various pipeline map plugins. With pipeline map plugins, the country map provides a perspective of the pipelines from the geographical scope of the entire nation.

The country map is an editable and layered .pdf file. It consists of following independent layers:

• Legend
• Names of Water
• Names of Countries
• Names of States
• Names of Districts
• Water

3.3 [Germany Country Map Plugin] Baltic Sea Pipeline Link (OPAL)

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.
