StatPlanet Plus has the following additional features compared to the free version of StatPlanet. For features which are not included by default, see also the StatPlanet Plus add-on modules.

Custom logo:

• Add a custom logo to the main StatPlanet interface screen (bottom-right corner), replacing the existing StatPlanet logo (this feature is not available in the free desktop version for non-commercial use).

Map options:

• Import maps in the commonly used ESRI Shapefile format (see also: free shapefile map downloads).
• Add "map points" such as cities, regional aggregations and other points of interest, through a drag-and-drop interface.
• Overlay external maps or images, for example raster maps, customizable at the indicator level.
• Create proportional symbol maps using external icons / images.

Graph options:

• Additional graph type - the vertical bubble chart, where bubbles can be resized according to a second indicator.
• Display benchmarks: add one or two benchmark or target lines in your graphs, with customizable labels and mouse-over popups.

Data options:

• No indicator limit. Organize indicators through categories and if required - sub-categories and sub-sub-categories.
• Option to dynamically load data from a database.
• Split large data files into multiple smaller data files to reduce the initial download size, and only load additional data when the user requests it through the drop-down menus.

Add-on modules:

• Various additional features are available through add-on modules.

Export options:*

• Export maps, graphs and charts as a PNG or JPG file (web version only). This requires a web server that is configured to run PHP or ASP files.
• Export data as a CSV data file (web version only). This requires a web server that is configured to run PHP or ASP files.

International character sets:

• International character sets are available on request, e.g. Arabic or Chinese. They are not included by default, because it increases the size of the application by around 50-250 kb.
• Please indicate which international character set (if any) is required when you purchase the software. Changing the configuration after payment and delivery of the software can only be done at additional cost.

Other features:

• E-mail feedback icon: Include an optional e-mail icon with customizable e-mail address/subject/body to get comments or feedback from users.
• Display data for all time units and/or indicators in the data table.

• Link icon: copy (share) a link to the currently selected indicator, graph and time/year.
• Link sitemap: auto-generate a complete categorized list of links to all indicators in StatPlanet (produces HTML code for embedding in a web-page). See example.
• Search panel: dynamic search for indicators, with search results updating as you type.
• Statistics: display customizable indicator-level statistics (total, mean, standard deviation, range).

Load shapefile maps (.SHP) using StatPlanet Plus

StatPlanet Plus can be used to easily load shapefile maps through a process that is mostly automated. For most shapefile maps, it only takes a few minutes to have them up and running in StatPlanet Plus. Simply copy your shapefiles to the StatPlanet 'map' directory and run 'setup shapefile' in the StatPlanet Data Editor.

The 'shapefile' format is a very popular "geospatial vector data format" for maps, and thousands of maps are available for free.

The Flash-based (actionscript) code for loading in the shapefile maps is open source.
