MPSuperShape is a shape manipulation tool for Microsoft MapPoint. MPSuperShape can be used to combine multiple shapes into one large shape, find the intersections (overlaps) between shapes, find boundary shapes around groups of pushpins, simplify shapes, delete multiple shapes, change shape colors, import/export shape files, and to create web pages. Import shape options include ESRI Shape (SHP) files, MapInfo MIF files, Keyhole (KML), and GML. MPSuperShape can also export to ESRI Shape (SHP) files; MapInfo MIF files; GML; KML; pushpins in shapes to Excel; and webpages that use Google Maps or Microsoft Bing Maps (Virtual Earth). Shapefile SHP and MapInfo MIF import/export options support different projections and coordinate systems.
