+| Suffix Digits  | [[Non Negative Integer Value Type]]  | Number of digits in the suffix that will be used to represent the step to which the file corresponds. If a greater number of digits is needed than this value, the step itself is used without modifications. If the number of digits is zero, no suffix is added to the file name. This is an advanced port.  | 0  |

+| First Window Coordinate X  | [[Real Value Type]]  | X coordinate of the upper-left corner of the clipping window, expressed in the map projection units. The value must be within the map extent, otherwise the operation will fail. If null, the clipping window will not be defined and the map must be loaded in its entirety. The defined clipping is applied to all layers of the map.  | None  |

 ===== Notes =====
 See also [[Load Map]] for loading maps whose cells do not represent categories.
+If the "Null Value" parameter is specified, any cell corresponding to the original null value of the map, if provided, is converted to the new null value. This ensures that values originally represented by null value still representing null values, even if the null value definition changes. Any non-null value corresponding to the newly defined null value is also promoted to new null value.
 For a list of file formats that Load Categorical Map can load, the supported [[wp>Map_projection|projections]] and [[wp>Datum_(geodesy)|datums]], check the [[supported map formats#map_formats_supported_for_reading|supported map formats]].

+It is possible to load maps from [[wp>zip_(file_format)|Zip]] archives. See [[useful_tips#loading_files_from_zip_files|this useful tip]] to know how to do it.
+The clipping window parameters allow loading only a specific rectangular region of the map instead of the entire map. When all four window coordinate parameters are null (default), the entire map is loaded. To use the clipping window feature, all four coordinates (First Window Coordinate X, First Window Coordinate Y, Second Window Coordinate X, and Second Window Coordinate Y) must be defined together.
