SWM_MapExplorer is a Line of Sight tool for Star Wars Miniatures that is based on MapExplorer, written for DDM by Christoph Breitkopf. The program is written in Java and offers several options for checking available LOS.

Simply clicking on a square (indicated by the orange circle in the upper right corner) displays all squares that you have LOS to (provided all doors are opened) as shown below (indicated by the green eye in each available square).

Simply extract SWM_MapExplorer into a directory of your choice (i.e. c:\SWM_MapExplorer for Windows or ~/SWM_MapExplorer for Mac or Linux) and, if you are using Windows, run MapExplorer.bat to use it. If you are running Mac or Linux, simply run the executable mapexplorer file found in your newly created folder (i.e. in Linux, type sh ~/SWM_MapExplorer/mapexplorer).
