  \brief The map tools module provides some basic abstractions for handling spatial data in the form of a map.

    The TerraLib Map Tools module provides a basic set of tools for dealing with maps. You can extend this basic framework
    in order to have your own way of rendering and representing the concept of a map.

    In this module you will find some useful concepts like:

    <ul>
      <li>Canvas: an abstraction of a drawing area;</li>
      <li>Layer: a base class designed to support applications that handle information as layers.
       A layer is just a reference to the data (not the data itself) and can be used to logically organize it.
       The information about a layer can be stored in different medias (a XML file or a DBMS table) depending on the type of persistence choosed;</li>
      <li>Renderer: a set of classes for rendering layers, geographical objects and other stuffs;</li>
      <li>MapDisplay: a helper class to control the display of a set of layers;</li>
      <li>etc.</li>
  </ul>

  The main classes/concepts in this module are listed here. The namespace associated to the Map Tools module is te::map.
  To know more about it, see the te::map namespace documentation.
