+<b>Hardcopy Map Utility</b> also called wx.psmap is
+a <em><a href="wxGUI.html">wxGUI</a></em> extension which allows the user to create interactively hardcopy map outputs. This tool generates <a href="ps.map.html">ps.map</a> configuration file and then runs <a href="ps.map.html">ps.map</a> to create PostScript output. There are two modes - <em>Draft mode</em> for map composing and <em>Preview mode</em> to see the final output. In draft mode map features (like legend or scalebar) are represented by a colored rectangle with a label.
+<p>
+Possible output files:
+<ul>
+ <li> <a href="ps.map.html">ps.map</a> instructions file
+ <li> PostScript/EPS file
+</ul>
+<p>
+Hardcopy Map Utility enables to load in saved instructions file. It works better with files created by wx.psmap (more tested).
+
+<p>
+Currently supported <a href="ps.map.html">ps.map</a> instructions:
+
+<ul>
+ <li> paper
+ <li> maploc
+ <li> scale
+ <li> border
+ <li> raster
+ <li> colortable
+ <li> vpoints
+ <li> vlines
+ <li> vareas
+ <li> vlegend
+ <li> text
+ <li> scalebar
+ <li> mapinfo
+</ul>
