Mapper: a Program for Creating Maps from Measurements

Written by Benedict Adamson. This documentation is still being written, and is therefore incomplete.

This is the home page of the Mapper program. Mapper calculates the coordinates of places, given measurements of their relative positions. The output can be used to generate plans and maps.

Measurements may be in terms of the distances between places, bearings of one places from another, and relative bearings of two places from a third place. The program can also take information traced from existing maps and plans. The program takes into account the inaccuracy of the measurements, so it is reasonably robust when given inaccurate or incorrect measurements.
