  • 31.12.2023 "Workstation of cadastral engineer" supports the updated XML schemas of input documents for cadastral registration
    In KB "Panorama" the "Workstation of cadastral engineer" version 15.1.2 has been developed. The new version supports formation of XML-documents according to the actual XML-schemes of Rosreestr for land survey plan MP_v09_R03, technical plan TP_v07_R03 and the certificate of inspection InspectionAct_v03_R05.
    In the "Editing attributes of a cadastral object" dialog, the list of supported cadastral objects is expanded. To enter information on land management objects, support has been added for objects specified in Government Decree No. 1532 of December 31, 2015. For this purpose, the digital classifier survey.v6 has been updated, the missing objects and semantics have been added. The necessary land management objects are included in the "Cadastral plan of the territory" layer and include all types of administrative boundaries, territorial zones, zones with restrictions, zones with special conditions of use, forestries and forest parks, water objects and others.
    In the "Base of cadastral works" mode, into the form of editing of point of a geodetic network the field "Coordinate system ID" has been added. The fields "scale", "date of creation" and "update date" have been added into the "Documents" table. Support of various directories of the attributive information used in different types and versions of cadastral XML-documents has been implemented. A field has been added into the list of contracts that displays whether the contract has a link to a map object. Into the form of editing the information about contract on execution of cadastral works, on the "General information" tab there are added the information fields, displaying the name of the map and the unique number of the object. There is a contract link to the object number and a button with which you can delete the link. Tools have been added for a call of dialogs for editing of elements of a database of cadastral works (contracts, cadastral engineers, customers, representatives of customers, points of a geodetic network, measuring instruments, applications) from various modes of preparing cadastral documents.
    The "Land survey plan" mode has been updated. The algorithm of formation of the XML-document according to the MP_v09.xsd scheme has been refined. There are corrected the errors in creating an XML file of the land survey plan for the formation of land plots by dividing and clarifying the boundaries of a land plot with the ChangeBorder clarification type. To describe information about the specified parcels, including when clarifying the boundaries of adjacent cadastral objects, the cadastral data model has been refined. Each specified parcel must be represented on the map by two objects: the initial one - the old boundaries and the specified one - the new boundaries. If there is no coordinate description for the old boundaries in USRN, the initial parcel is not put onto a map. The initial and specified land plots must have the same identification semantics "Cadastral number" - for a one-contour land plot; "Cadastral number" and "Registration number" - for a multi-contour land plot or single land use. In nodes of metrics of the initial and specified land plots the point objects should be created. Points should be put taking into account their novelty and belonging to the cadastral object. To do this, the following semantics must be filled for point objects: Own name (for all points), Cadastral number (for points of all plots), Registration number (for points of a multi-contour land plot or uniform land tenure), Novelty (for all points), RMS error of the position of MT points (required for existing points). Along the common boundary of two adjacent plots, characteristic points should be represented by a pair of point objects. The program assigns each point object to a plot according to the identification semantics "Cadastral number" and "Registration number". To fill in an XML file with information about an adjacent plot using the ChangeBorder clarification option, a common fragment of the border of an adjacent land plot must begin and end with an existing characteristic point. Otherwise, the AllBorder clarification option must be used.
    In the "Technical plan" mode, the algorithm for writing an XML document according to the TP_v07.xsd scheme has been updated. In the mode dialog, the directory dCultural_v01.xsd "Type of cultural heritage object" has been added and the directories dAssBuilding_v04.xsd "Purpose of buildings", dNetworkPoints_v02.xsd "Information about the condition (safety) of the external sign of a geodetic network point", dWall_v02.xsd "Material of the external walls of the building" have been updated. Support for the customer of information about the official has been implemented. There is improved the group of information about points of a geodetic network (coordinate system code, type of geodetic network have been added) and measuring instruments (factory number). When receiving the address of a property from FIAS, a processing of the OKTMO code has been added. The recording of types of house, corpus, constructions, apartment has been corrected. The "Copy list of documents from input data" button has been added into the "Applications" table.
    In modes "Certificate of inspection of the property" the XML-document formation by default is carried out according to the XML schema InspectionAct_v03_R05, which came into effect on 11/08/2023. To support the established transition period when the use of new and previous versions of XML schemas is allowed, the program has the ability to select the version of the XML schema.
    In the "Save image for graphic part of report" mode, the algorithm for saving a file in jpeg, emf, tif format has been changed, taking into account the settings for vector and raster map views. Positioning of a map after saving a file has been improved. The scale and position of the map do not change.
    The "Union of objects" mode has been updated, adding the ability to unite not only areal objects, but also linear and point objects. The program analyzes the value of semantics of the source objects, forms a selection of objects of the same localization with the same semantic values and unites them into a multipolygon, multiline or multipoint. Stability of dialog to incorrectly entered initial data has been increased.
    The "Information from the state real estate cadastre" mode has been updated, the server address for receiving public information about land plots and real estate has been changed.
    The new version of the program is available for download in the Download section.
    Please note that on the Rosreestr website there is a recommendation - "Dear users! We ask you to use the XML schema version 06 (MP_v06) to form a land plot plan in the form of an electronic document..."
    Also, in the section of current schemes there is the XML-scheme used for formation of XML-document of the land survey plan of the land plot in the form of electronic document MP_v06. We recommend that you familiarize yourself with the requirements on the Rosreestr website.

  • 28.12.2023 In the GIS "Panorama Mobile" for the Aurora OS, quick application of user labels has been implemented
    In KB "Panorama" the GIS "Panorama Mobile" has been developed for domestic mobile OS Aurora version 1.5. In the new version the set of types of user marks in the "Navigator" task has been expanded, work with storage of maps and possibility of unpacking archives with maps into storehouse have been added.
    In the program the mode for quickly saving the current map position in the "Navigator" task has been improved. When saving a point, the user can select the external view of the object from the list of suggested ones: circle, square, triangle, cross, rhombus, house, truck, tree, pipe. When creating an object, its properties are saved and when drawing the next one, the type of object and its color will be suggested as initial values. The "Navigator" task implements the accumulation and processing of the user's selected objects. The user can save places of interest to him, marking them with a text comment and highlighting them with color. After saving a point, the user can build a direction indicator to the selected point or make transition to a map to a given point. Points are automatically transferred between opened data, allowing you to use them regardless of the current background map.
    In the new version by analogy to the version for OS Android the data storage has been implemented. The storage is a directory on the user's device on which fast search of supported data types is carried out. The user, using multiple selection, specifies the map files that he wants to open together or add to previously opened data. To fill the data storage, the user can independently place the data in the data storage directory or use the function of unpacking the archive with maps. When unpacking, the user selects the map archives available on the device, and the application unpacks it into the data storage.
    On the KB "Panorama" website the maps on the basis of OpenStreetMap data for use on mobile devices are updated. To speed up the display and search of objects, the map data are divided into regions of works. This allows you to comfortably use these maps on devices with a RAM capacity of 2 GB or more.
    GIS "Panorama Mobile" allows you to open and edit the main formats of digital maps of GIS "Panorama" and popular geoportals on mobile devices based on the Aurora OS, to process information from the built-in GPS/GLONASS receiver. The user can prepare in advance a necessary set of spatial data in one of desktop products (GIS "Panorama", "Panorama-editor", GIS Panorama Mini) and to transfer it into the mobile GIS "Panorama Mobile". The process of working with data is carried out autonomously, without connecting to the Internet. When the user moves, his current position is dynamically displayed according to the coordinates obtained from the GPS/GLONASS receiver. For ease of use, it is possible to synchronize the position of the map with the current location. To save the coordinates obtained during movement, a track recording mode is provided, which creates a separate map and puts the trajectory of movement onto it. For all objects of a map during the work the basic information is provided . The program is developed on the basis of the GIS Constructor toolkit, which provides components for creating mobile applications for working with digital maps in the C++ programming language using the Qt.
    Aurora OS - is a Russian mobile operating system developed by the "Open mobile platform" company. Operating system been created to build a trusted mobile infrastructure, protect sensitive information in government organizations, large and medium-sized commercial companies. Contributes to ensuring the technological sovereignty of the state through a secure mobile environment and meets all the requirements of regulators in the field of national security and information protection. Aurora OS allows centrally to operate the base of mobile devices and the used mobile software at use of Aurora Center. The current version of the mobile Aurora OS has been certified by the FSTEC of Russia and fully complies with the requirements for type "A" operating systems of 4 protection class and 4 trust levels.
    The new version of the program is available for download in the Download section.

  • 27.12.2023 In GIS "Panorama" version 15 the list of supported formats has been expanded and processing of remote sensing data has been accelerated
    In KB "Panorama" the GIS "Panorama" version 15.1.2 has been developed. In the new version the protocols for connecting geoportals, tools for performing spatial requests over lists of objects, control of versions of digital maps during field works, tools for designing reports and maintaining digital classifiers and libraries of conventional signs have been expanded. Converters of matrix data in various formats have been updated, display of matrixes of heights with smoothing of a relief shading and construction of shadows has been accelerated. In the block of geodetic and cadastral tasks, the list of supported cadastral objects has been expanded. To enter information on land management objects, support has been added for objects specified in Government Decree No. 1532 dated December 31, 2015; support has been added for the XML scheme TP_v07.xsd, introduced by Rosreestr order No. P/0347 dated September 6, 2023 for the preparation of technical plans.
    To expand the list of supported geoportals and Mbtiles, BIR, GeoPackage formats, support for the Webp format, used for image compression, has been added. The Webp format allows to compress images both with losses, and lossless. The format is based on algorithm of compression of the still image (key frame) from the VP8 video codec and on the average, it compresses images 40% more efficiently than the JPEG format. There is added a new geoportal - Topographic maps of the world.
    The task "Automatic determination of the contours of arable land", which is part of the "Complex of agronomical tasks", has been improved. The task automatically determines the contours of arable land over a given area of terrain using the external web service GeoAlert.io. In the new version, the user authorization protocol for the service https://mapflow.ai/ru has been changed. Authorization by token issued to the user in the personal account has been added. Recognition of field boundaries from Sentinel-2 images has been added.
    "Map Legend" task has been improved. On the "General data list" tab, modes for working with lists of objects have been added. This allows you to quickly add lists by selected objects on the map and perform tasks with lists: Building a zone around objects of the selected list, Cutting objects, Union of objects, Building the areas of objects crossing. On a map the lists of objects are displayed as separate thematic layers. The composition of thematic layers in the general data list is controlled by enabling or disabling the visibility of the object list in the bottom panel. The convenience of designing the appearance of thematic layers has been improved: assigning a style and color to the list of objects has been added. Simple addition of selected objects into the list with automatic formation of the name has been added. If necessary the name can be changed in a tree of the objects list. For example, after building a zone with a radius of 10 meters around the "Lakes" list, the created objects are automatically highlighted on the map, and when further objects are added into the new list, the conditional name "Zone 10 - Lakes" will be formed. A mode for enabling or disabling the display of all thematic layers on the map has been added into the header of the "Object Lists" panel. The following modes can be applied to the selected list: Selecting a list of objects on the map, Search for objects of the list on the map, Setting the display composition by list objects.
    "Map object search" and "Map contents" dialogs have been improved. In the conditions for selecting objects by measurements, a type of measurement has been added - the number of object parts. This mode allows you to select objects whose metric consists of a specified number of parts. For example, it is possible to select polygons that have internal contours, linear objects or complex titles from several parts.
    The "Map comparing" task has been improved, designed to control versions of digital vector maps, dispatch the updating of digital terrain data by employees when performing field work or processing remote sensing data. Ability has been added to quickly view the characteristics of created, modified and deleted objects. When you open a work map (on the "Receiving work map" tab), the selected map automatically opens in the main application window. For clarity, the windows of the basic and working maps are arranged in the form of a mosaic: the basic one is on the right, the working one is on the left. To view information about an object specified in the list of changes, you must use the "Show object" or "Select object" mode.
    "Map Editor" task has been improved. A new mode "Auto-transfer of labels lines" has been added into the "Labels" mode group, designed to perform interactive formatting of multi-line labels texts on a map when preparing maps for publication or drawing up reports. When changing the size of the label metric by moving its second point, the label text is automatically split into lines, which ensures that the overall text width corresponds to the specified size.
    The library of programmable signs (dfc.iml64), used for preparing aeronautical documents with the dfc.rsc classifier, has been improved. The display of the MSA sign (minimum safe altitudes) has been improved in accordance with the requirements of ICAO (ICAO, International Civil Aviation Organization). The new programmable sign "Scheme of safe altitudes (MSA)" allows more flexible setting of parameters: size and thickness of the circle line, type and thickness of the course indicator line, parameters of fonts for course and altitude signatures, distance between two-line altitude signatures (spacing). The new sign has an adaptive algorithm of scheme construction that takes into account the sizes of the central element of the scheme, the course indicator and the height of the course font.
    The "Select object" dialog has been improved. On the "Semantic" bookmark the entering of numerical semantics has been simplified. When entering a value for numerical semantics, the previously entered value for this semantics is automatically entered into the field. If there are no previously entered values, the default value specified in the map classifier (Classifier Editor - Semantics - Default) is entered into the field. After entering or editing a semantics value in the object selection dialog, the value is entered into the general list of semantics values with identification by the semantics key. The list of values does not depend on the classifier used - at coincidence of a key of semantics in several classifiers, a single value is used. The list of values is written into a file c:\Users\Public\Documents\Panorama\lastvalue.xml, and is used in subsequent sessions of working with GIS.
    The tasks of importing and exporting matrix of heights have been improved. When importing a matrix of heights from TIFF, SRTM, IMG and other formats, the matrix in MTW format can have an element size from 8 to 64 bits. When loading, optimization of matrix data is automatically carried out. During optimization, reduced copies are formed, and also data in 16 and 32 bit formats are compressed without loss. A matrix in compressed form usually has a significantly smaller volume relative to uncompressed data. When optimizing, matrixes with an element size of 16 bits and a height precision of 1 meter are usually reduced in 10 and more times. Reducing the volume of the matrix covering a larger area, allows you to increase display speed.
    When exporting, each matrix of heights can be written in one of the recording formats (from 8 to 64 bits) and with an accuracy of height values from 1 millimeter to 1 meter. In the "Data list" dialog on the "Matrixes" tab, a call of the "Exporting a group of height matrices into TIFF and KMZ files" dialog has been added to export a group of matrixes of heights of the document into TIFF and KMZ files. The dialog allows you to select the height format in the output file: INT16, INT32, FLOAT32, FLOAT64. If the size of the exported matrix of heights exceeds the maximum TIFF file size (4 GB), then a BigTIFF file is formed. The BigTIFF format uses 64-bit offsets and supports files larger than 4 GB. The saved KMZ file is an archive of a KML file with a set of single-channel GeoTIFF files with data on relief heights. The new dialog is called using the "Save as..." item in the context menu for the "Matrix" tab.
    Drawing heights and depth matrices with anti-aliasing has been accelerated. On a computer with a 4-core processor, the speed of drawing an anti-aliased matrix with shadows is increased by up to 2.5 times. When you select the "View - Matrix image - Only shadows" mode in the main menu, a shadow coloring (shading of relief) is applied on top of the map. Shadow coloring of the map improves the readability of the map relief. An example of drawing a map with shading of relief can be opened through the menu: File - Example data - c:\Users\Public\Documents\Panorama\Panorama15\data\noginsk\noginsk.mpt
    In the "Classifier Editor" task, the ability has been added to set different values of the "Required semantics" attribute for different objects in the same series. For example, for a classifier of territorial planning schemes, the attributes "Cadastral number OKS" and "Cadastral number of the land plot..." are the required if the objects have the attribute "Status" with the values "Existing, Planned for reconstruction, Planned for liquidation", forming a series of objects with different symbols.
    The "Correction of objects metric" task included into the "Check and correction of data" task group has been improved. The "Change 3D coordinate" mode has been added into the "Others" mode group. The mode performs change of 3D coordinate of selected objects on the map by a specified value. The task can be used to create design matrixes of relief elevations for calculations of soil volumes, modeling changes in relief.
    The "Geodesy editor" task has been improved. In the "Save image for graphic part of report" mode, the algorithm for saving a file of format jpeg. emf. Tif has been changed taking into account settings of a vector and raster view of a map. The "Object union" mode has been updated, adding the ability to combine not only areal objects, but also linear and point objects. The program analyzes value of semantics of initial objects, forms a sample of objects of one type with identical values of semantics and unites them into a multipolygon, a multiline or a multipoint. The program stability to incorrectly entered input data has been increased.
    The task "Cadastral documents" has been improved. In the "Editing attributes of a cadastral object" dialog, the list of supported cadastral objects has been expanded. To enter information on land management objects, support has been added for objects specified in Government Decree No. 1532 of December 31, 2015. For this purpose, the digital classifier survey.v6 has been updated, the missing objects and semantics have been added. The necessary land management objects are included in the "Cadastral plan of the territory" layer and include all types of administrative boundaries, territorial zones, zones with restrictions, zones with special conditions of use, forestries and forest parks, water objects and others. Support of various directories of the attributive information used in different types and versions of cadastral XML-documents has been implemented.
    The "Land survey plan" mode has been updated. The algorithm of formation of the XML-document according to the MP_v09.xsd scheme has been refined. For the description of data on the specified ground areas, including, at specification of borders of adjacent cadastral objects the model of the cadastral data is specified. There are corrected the errors in creating an XML file of the land survey plan for the formation of land plots by dividing and clarifying the boundaries of a land plot with the ChangeBorder clarification type. To describe information about the specified parcels, including when clarifying the boundaries of adjacent cadastral objects, the cadastral data model has been refined. Each specified parcel must be represented on the map by two objects: the initial one - the old boundaries and the specified one - the new boundaries. If there is no coordinate description for the old boundaries in USRN, the initial parcel is not put onto a map. The initial and specified land plots must have the same identification semantics "Cadastral number" - for a one-contour land plot; "Cadastral number" and "Registration number" - for a multi-contour land plot or single land use. In nodes of metrics of the initial and specified land plots the point objects should be created. Points should be put taking into account their novelty and belonging to the cadastral object. To do this, the following semantics must be filled for point objects: Own name (for all points), Cadastral number (for points of all plots), Registration number for points of a multi-contour land plot or uniform land tenure), Novelty (for all points), RMS error of the position of MT points (required for existing points). Along the common boundary of two adjacent plots, characteristic points should be represented by a pair of point objects. The program assigns each point object to a plot according to the identification semantics "Cadastral number" and "Registration number".
    In the "Technical plan" mode, support for the XML scheme TP_v07.xsd, introduced by order of Rosreestr dated September 6, 2023 No. P/0347, has been added. In the mode dialog, the directory dCultural_v01.xsd has been added - Type of cultural heritage object and the directories dAssBuilding_v04.xsd - Purpose of buildings, dNetworkPoints_v02.xsd - Information about the condition (safety) of the external sign of a geodetic network point, dWall_v02.xsd - Material of the external walls of the building have been updated.
    In the "Correction of registry errors" mode, the algorithm has been changed to insert into the report the information about the coordinates of corrected cadastral objects (plots, OKSs and parts). Previously, it was required that there be two objects on the map with the same cadastral number (an object according to the Unified State Register and a corrected object). And if there was no object according to the Unified State Register, then the information was not inserted into the report. However, there are objects registered in the Unified State Register of Real Estate without a coordinate description of their boundaries. The modified algorithm allows you to analyze only one object - the corrected one.
    The new version of the program is available for download on the Download page.

  • 20.12.2023 Complex of preparing documents of aeronautical information ensures the maintenance of a database of airdromes in accordance with the AIP of the Russian Federation
    In KB "Panorama" the Complex of preparing documents of aeronautical information version 8.2.5 under management of GIS "Panorama" or GIS "Operator" has been developed. In the new version, for maintaining a database in two measurement systems (feet and meters), in dialogues "Input of airports", "Input of obstacles, MSA sectors and OCA/OCH of the airport" there are added additional input fields for the elevation and height of transition of airdrome, the minimum safe height of flight of obstacles, absolute/relative height of flight of obstacles (OCA/H). The modes allow you to expand the filling of the aeronautical database of the complex with information contained in the AIP of the Russian Federation (Part III Aerodromes (AD)).
    In the program the list of the unloaded information has been expanded at creating marginal design of aeronautical maps using the "Creating frameworks for aeronautical maps" dialog. Possibility has been added to put a sign of the minimum safe height onto a map with display of values in two measurement systems (feet and meters).
    The aeronautical classifier (dfc.rscz) and library of programmable signs (dfc.iml64)have been modified in accordance with the requirements of the International Civil Aviation Organization contained in ICAO Doc 8697 ("Manual of Aeronautical Charts"). The new programmable sign "Sectors of minimum safe airport altitudes (MSA)" allows more flexible customization of parameters: size and thickness of the circle line, type and thickness of the course indicator line, parameters of fonts for course and altitude signatures, distance between two-line altitude signatures (spacing). The new sign has an adaptive algorithm of scheme construction that takes into account the sizes of the central element of the scheme, the course indicator and the height of the course font.
    The complex of preparing documents of aeronautical information is a set of tools for maintaining an aeronautical data base, a modeling and analyzing the aeronautical situation, generating aeronautical maps and exchanging data with other information systems through export and import in the ARINC 424-19 exchange format and export in the AIXM 5.1 format. The task "Flight procedures design" is used to design the routes of departure, approach and landing and to analyze the safety of flights on them. The task "Assessment of compliance for aerodromes with the requirements FAR" is intended for the analysis of the aerodrome and the aerodrome environs for the suitability for operation and aircraft flights in accordance with the Federal Aviation Regulations.
    The new version of the program, examples of aeronautical information documents, operational documentation, video lessons and presentations are available for download on the Download page.

  • 18.12.2023 Digital classifier has been developed for monitoring environmental processes and emergency situations
    Specialists of KB "Panorama" have prepared a digital classifier for automated maintenance of thematic maps of monitoring environmental processes and emergency situations. The monitoring.rscz classifier is used in the applied tasks "Environmental monitoring and analytics" and "Modeling a breakthrough wave during the destruction of a hydraulic structure". It contains two layers: "Terrain flooding" and "Terrain pollution".
    The "Terrain flooding" layer includes the following conventional symbols: "Fairway", "Contour lines", "Reservoirs", "Permanent rivers", "Dam, shaft", "Sentinel point", "Flood zone". Layer objects are both the initial information necessary for modeling the parameters of a breakthrough wave that occurs when a dam of a hydraulic structure is destroyed, and the result of the modeling. Based on the calculated values of the breakthrough wave height and the height matrix, a zone of catastrophic flooding of the area is constructed along the river fairway.
    The "Terrain pollution" layer contains a series of conventional symbols that display the classes of excess of the maximum permissible concentration of pollutants: "No excess of background", "Excess of background by 1 - 2 times", "Excess of background by 2 - 3 times", "Excess of background by 3 - 5 times", "Excess of background by 5 - 10 times", "Excess of background by 10 times or more", "Unknown background value" and "Measurement point". The "Environmental Monitoring and Analytics" task uses the semantics of the "Measurement point" objects for constructing matrixes of quality that characterize the distribution of pollution indicators over the analyzed territory.
    The classifier contains the attributes: "Exceedance of background concentration", "Indicator name", "Indicator value at a point", "Background value", "Maximum permissible concentration", "Approximately permissible concentration of a substance", "Date and time of registration of the indicator value at a point" , "Height at a point", "Depth at a point", "Volume of the reservoir", "Depth of the reservoir at the dam", "Area of the reservoir mirror", "Depth of the river in the lower reach of the hydroscheme", "Width of the river in the lower reach of the hydroscheme", " Degree of destruction of the waterworks" and others.
    Based on matrixes of quality, area zoning maps are constructed according to various indicators, taking into account classes of exceeding the maximum permissible pollution concentration.
    The new classifier is available for download in the "Classifiers" section.

  • 01.12.2023 "Workstation of cadastral engineer" provides formation of XML-document of the technical plan in accordance with the order of Rosreestr dated September 6, 2023 No. P/0347
    In KB "Panorama" the "Workstation of cadastral engineer" version 15.1.1 has been developed. In the new version in modes the "Technical plan" (building, construction and other objects of real estate) possibility of selecting the version of "XML-scheme used to generate XML-document" has been added. The program supports XML-schemes TP_v06 and TP_v07_R03. There is a switch on the Options/XML tab to select version of XML-scheme. The TP_v07_R03 scheme was put into effect by order of Rosreestr dated September 6, 2023 No. P/0347 "On posting on the official website of the Federal Service for State Registration, Cadastre and Cartography on the Internet information and telecommunications network of an XML-scheme used to generate the technical plan of a building, construction, an unfinished construction object, premises, parking spaces, a single real estate complex in the form of an electronic document".
    In the "Technical plan" dialog, the block of information about the cadastral engineer has been improved, new fields have been added: registration number (OGRNIP), name of the document. The position of executive has been added into the information about customers. The composition of the source data fields has been expanded, the code of coordinate system, the type of geodetic network, and the factory number of the measuring instrument have been added. When recording information in XML, the obsolete FlatsEGRN and CarParkingSpaces elements have been removed. In the element describing the address of the property, the positions OKATO, KLADR, OKTMO have been removed. A new section "Information about cultural heritage objects" has been added. When recording information about the area of a real estate property, a calculation of the error in determining the area has been added. The recording of the characteristics of premises and parking spaces located in the building has been improved.
    In the "Description of the location of the boundaries of settlements" mode, the calculation of the area of a multi-contour object and the error in determining the area have been corrected. The "Arrangement plot on the cadastral plann" mode has been improved; information about the scale of the attached graphic file, obtained by using the "Save image for graphic part of report" mode, has been unloaded into the report.
    In the "Correction of registry errors" mode, the algorithm for inserting into the report information about the coordinates of corrected cadastral objects (sites, OKSs and parts) has been changed. Previously, a presence on a map of two objects with identical cadastral number (an object according to the EGRN and a corrected object) was required. And if there was no object according to the EGRN, then the information was not inserted into the report. However, there are objects registered in the EGRN without a coordinate description of their boundaries. The modified algorithm allows you to analyze only one object - the corrected one. If there is no object according to the EGRN, dashes are inserted into the column "Coordinate values in EGRN".
    The new version of the program is available on the website in the Download section.

  • 29.11.2023 In GIS "Panorama" version 15 the tools of spatial analysis of territories have been updated
    In KB "Panorama" the GIS "Panorama" version 15.1.1 has been developed. In the new version, the tools for terrain analysis, thematic mapping and design of special maps with complex conventional symbols have been expanded, tasks from the "Well calculations" group of the Complex of geological tasks, "Calculating bulks of earth works" from the "Complex of 3D analysis" have been improved. In the "Technical plan" task, the formation of an electronic document using the XML schema TP_v07.xsd has been added in accordance with Rosreestr order No. P/0347 dated 09/06/2023.
    To improve the clarity of the analysis of the relative positioning of various groups of objects, the "Lists of objects" dialog has been improved. Ability has been added to display lists of objects formed by various requests using custom styles (conventional symbols). Tools in the "Search" and "Building" tabs allow you to perform requests onto selection of objects into new lists or perform spatial overlay operations and constructions to generate new lists of objects. Lists of objects can be displayed as independent sets of data in a given sequence among other types of data: vector maps, area images, geoportals, databases and other information. The order in which lists of objects are displayed among the open data of the document is set in the Map Legend task on the "General data list" tab. By default, object lists are displayed on top of all document data. In the "Lists of objects" dialog, custom styles are automatically formed for the selected lists of objects. Enabling and disabling the visibility of custom symbols of the selected list is carried out by clicking the left mouse button in the display area of the corresponding icon. To enable or disable the display of all custom symbols, you must set the "Enable display of custom styles" mode. Custom styles represent a set of conventional symbols for polygons, contours and point symbols. Assigning and editing custom styles is carried out by means of the "Assign custom style" mode. To make settings easier, you can only change the color of conventional symbols included in a given list. In the "Edit styles" dialog, you can customize general views of symbols for the list by localization in the standard dialogs: "Point sign editing", ","Vector sign editing", and "Line/polygon image parameters". Style sets can be combined into themes. The following modes are available for editing styles: "Copy style", "Copy view to clipboard", "Paste view from clipboard", "Clear view". Descriptions of custom styles are stored in the directory c:\Users\Public\Documents\Panorama\styles\.
    Dialog of vector sign editing has been improved. When applying sign elements, control has been added for elements entering the negative region of the sign coordinate system. When an element exit is detected, the sign is automatically shifted to the positive area, including anchoring and dimension lines. There are added a saving and restoring cell size and background color set by the user. The construction of a circle using three points and drawing support contours when drawing a circle based on three points, arc and curvilinear elements have been clarified.
    Into the main menu of the application the item "Options - Title scaling" was added with the possibility to choose mode of the title displaying: Simple, Proportional and Proportional with narrow spaces. The Simple title display mode is intended for quick drawing of titles. When you select proportional display, drawing titles at different map scales is done in proportion to the change in map scale. When selecting the display mode with narrow spaces, spaces are automatically narrowed after numeric characters and punctuation characters. The latter mode is commonly used when publishing a map to reduce the width of titles containing spaces.
    Display of a combination symbols line has been improved. The combination symbols line allows to form complex types of contours design of linear and areal objects. A line can contain strokes, spaces, font characters and vector elements, typed in any order. In the new version a placing the elements on sharp turns of contours has been improved, quality of formation of samples of the objects used for the map design legend during publication has been increased. On topographic maps, combination symbols line are used to designate the boundaries of administrative divisions, tram and railway tracks, dams and shafts, cliffs, embankments and excavations, underground and underwater gas and oil pipelines. On maps of territorial planning - when designing public transport lines, overpasses, security, sanitary and coastal zones, engineering structures for protection against flooding and hazardous geological processes. On military maps - when drawing lines of boundaries, borders and special-purpose zones. On forestry maps - when drawing the boundaries of forestry territories and forestry enterprises, protective zones and special-purpose strips.
    "Map Editor" task has been improved. When creating a point object, the ability to snap to peaks on the DEM has been added. After activating the mode, the cursor, when moving, is "attracted" to the point with the maximum absolute height within the analyzed area. The height is determined by analyzing the corresponding section of the matrix of relief heights. The mode allows you to accurately put a point onto the top of a mountain and can be useful for marking elevations when forming a plan-elevation base of the map. When an object is recorded onto the map, the absolute height value is written into its H coordinate. The mode "Graphic objects - Create polygon/line - Image parameters" has been improved. The possibilities for creating the view of graphic object have been expanded. Selection of translucent line type (Line - colored glass) has been added. To customize the view of a shaded areal object, a parameter has been added - shading offset, which allows you to use the overlay of two or more shaded views with different shading offsets.
    The task "Calculating bulks of earth works", which is part of the "Complex of 3D analysis", has been improved. The task determines the bulks of earth masses to be moved within a local area and also forms a work plan in the form of a user map. The new version of the task, in addition to matrixes of heights (MTW), allows to use relief models represented by a point cloud (MTD). The need for the user to customize object types to plot a work plan onto a user map is eliminated. The plan of earth works is drawn onto the map by graphical objects. "Complex of 3D analysis" is intended for creating surface models and solving tasks of spatial analysis using the constructed models.
    The task "Import of matrixes of heights MTW from files TIFF, IMG, DEM using GDAL" has been improved. The task is designed to load a digital elevation model from external formats. Ability has been added to import matrixes from files of DTED (Digital Terrain Elevation Data) format.
    In the "Well calculations" panel of the Complex of geological tasks the mode "Build of intersection layers" has been improved. The mode is intended for mapping point objects describing the spatial position of the points of intersection of the wellbore axis and a sole of geological layers. When constructing intersection points, data from opened geological layers is used, prepared by the modes "Drawing of points borehole" and "Viewing and editing of attributes of borehole". Determination of the spatial position of the wellbore axis is carried out using inclinometry. Ability to map intersection points using data of CSV file has been added. In this case, the input data of the mode will be: a point object Β«WellheadΒ», a linear object with a 3D metric Β«WellboreΒ», a CSV file containing depth marks of the top and bottom of the layers. The complex of geological tasks is intended for processing the results of engineering geological surveys, preparing and forming drawings of engineering geological columns and sections, modeling the relief, geological structure and hydrogeological conditions, calculating volumes and creating plans of earthworks.
    Formation of an electronic document using the XML schema TP_v07.xsd has been added into the "Technical plan" task in accordance with Rosreestr order β„– P/0347 dated September 6, 2023. The scheme is intended for creating an XML file - a technical plan of a building (including an apartment building), structure, unfinished construction site, premises, parking space in order to ensure state cadastral registration of a real estate property, or state cadastral registration of real estate and state registration of rights to real estate and transactions with it. The new scheme has updated sections: general information about cadastral work and initial data. For buildings, apartment buildings, structures and premises, the "Cultural heritage object" section has been added. When recording the area of a property, an error calculation has been added. A record of information about all premises/parking spaces located in a building or structure has been added to the packages "Changing information about a building" and "Changing information about a structure".

  • 09.11.2023 In Panorama Mini GIS for OS "Astra Linux Special Edition" the tools of viewing digital terrain models from geoportals have been expanded
    In KB "Panorama" the GIS Panorama Mini version 15.0.0 has been developed for OS "Astra Linux Special Edition" (Release "Smolensk"). In the new version a speed of loading and displaying data from geoportals has been increased, an obtaining the digital terrain models using the WCS protocol and archived data has been implemented, the list of supported geoportals has been expanded. There are improved the tools for selecting objects by various conditions of search, processing and displaying data, mechanisms for opening and exchanging spatial data with the GIS Server.
    In the task of connecting geoportals the speed of loading and displaying tiles has been increased. The GIS core automatically evaluates the computer parameters: the number of cores, the size of the RAM, the bandwidth of the data transmission channel. Taking into account the performance of the system, a pool of independent threads is formed to load, process and display the received data. Multi-threaded data loading reduces delays when moving the screen, scaling the map, and performing spatial queries to the geoportal. For example, for a network with a bandwidth of 100 Mbps on a 4-core processor with a clock frequency of 3.5 GHz, the speed of displaying tiles from the KB Panorama geoportal increased 6 times, and the time to receive them decreased from 500ms to 70ms. In order to increase the speed of data access for the WMS protocol, caching of data in the form of tiles has been added. The data is saved in the form of a pyramid of tiles 1024Ρ…1024 in a folder of location of the geoportal cache. This change will allow the user to accumulate data locally and, in the absence of the Internet, use the already accumulated data cache. In order to update previously saved data, it is possible to set the lifetime of the geoportal cache in seconds.
    Access to geoportal archive data has been added. Examples of such geoportals are the Sentinel Hub geoportal or the VEGA services. The task allows you to connect to images or data on the geoportal by specifying the date, the request period, or the percentage of maximum cloudiness of satellite images. To quickly change the image from the geoportal, a new dialog has been added that allows you to set the parameters for accessing archived data (date, period, cloudiness); to set an offset or reference to a point if the geoportal has a lower accuracy than the map or data with which the geoportal is combined; to set transparency color - to view several layers at the same time; to set the color of the filter to change the color scheme of the geoportal. In the new version the possibility of connection of dynamically expanded list of available geoportals has been added. When such a geoportal is selected, a GetCapabilities request is sent to the service, and based on it, the list is automatically expanded with relevant data in the form of a tree of available layers. Support for a proxy server with domain authorization has been added.
    Ability has been added to connect digital terrain models via the WCS protocol. Connection to WCS-service is carried out on the basis of OGC 09-110r4 Web Coverage Service standards. At the same time, data from any number of WCS services can be opened together with data from geoportals, data from GIS Servers, and locally open data. To increase the speed of working with the WCS service, data caching is supported on the client. The information received from the service allows you to create 3D terrain models onto territories of any size up to a surface of all Globe.
    The task "Highlight any area" has been improved. Changing the conditions for selecting objects selected by area has been simplified. The selection of objects by area is performed using the "Select inside the object" and "Select by any area" modes (polygon, rectangular fragment, lasso). At the end of drawing the area on the map, objects located inside the selected area are highlighted. To change the selection conditions, press the right mouse button and select one of the modes in the context menu: Highlight inside (delete intersection), Highlight with intersection (and inside), Highlight outside (delete intersection). If clusters are displayed on the map (generalized signs of closely spaced objects specified in the classifier), then the corresponding signs of clusters are displayed and marked, taking into account the number of signs and their location on the map.

Tools for processing and displaying data, mechanisms for opening and exchanging spatial data with the GIS Server have been improved.
    In the program the possibilities of creation and editing of objects in the "Map Editor" task have been expanded. In the mode "Create an object copy" at enabling the submode of snapping an object to a node of another object, the snap of the created copy of an object or a group of selected objects is provided for each mouse click. In the mode "Change of type of object" for recoding areal objects into vector objects, the ability to build a new metric using a larger segment of the original object has been added. This mode can be used for generalization of areal structures that are not expressed in the scale of the map. In the "Create an object copy" mode, the ability to put a copy of an object or a group of selected objects to each mouse click has been added. This method allows you to increase the speed of drawing the one-type objects. In the mode for editing points of objects a functionality of reduction of an areal object to a rectangular form has been added. The edited object can be quickly saved by means of "hot" keys.
    In the "Object samples" mode, the maximum number of objects samples (buttons) in the layout line has been increased to 32 and the maximum number of lines - to 12. The creation of a sample for a set of selected map objects has been improved. Samples of created objects is a panel with buttons containing images of objects of the selected type or a group of objects with prepared semantics or graphic symbols outside the classifier. The use of pre-prepared samples speeds up the process of creating and updating vector terrain maps for various purposes.
    In the program a possibility has been added to quickly estimate distances between map objects by means of the mode "Radial scale", included into group of modes "Length and distance" of the "Map Computer" task. When the mode is activated, on the background of the map, a scale of three rings is displayed, indicating the distance from the center of the screen on the ground. The distance between the rings is selected depending on the map display scale. The central ring is divided into 10-degree sectors, the cardinal direction are signed on it and the direction to the north is indicated. The "Building a polygon by a given azimuth and distance" mode has been added into the "Measurements" group of the "Map Editor" task. The mode allows you quickly to put onto a map a polygon - a zone of the estimated search in the direction and distance indicated by the cursor from the control point with the possibility of changing the width and length of the search sector.
    The task "Highlight any area" has been improved. Changing the conditions for selecting objects selected by area has been simplified. The selection of objects by area is performed using the "Select inside the object" and "Select by any area" modes (polygon, rectangular fragment, lasso). At the end of drawing the area on the map, objects located inside the selected area are highlighted. To change the selection conditions, press the right mouse button and select one of the modes in the context menu: Highlight inside (delete intersection), Highlight with intersection (and inside), Highlight outside (delete intersection). If clusters are displayed on the map (generalized signs of closely spaced objects specified in the classifier), then the corresponding signs of clusters are displayed and marked, taking into account the number of signs and their location on the map.

  • 06.11.2023 GIS "Panorama Mobile" provides autonomous work with cloud storages of spatial data
    In KB "Panorama" the GIS "Panorama Mobile" version 1.4 for domestic mobile Aurora OS has been developed. The new version has optimized the display of geoportal data and implemented the ability to save data into the MBTiles tile pyramid. The tools for combining various spatial data have been expanded, and the mechanisms for using the internal buffer with limited memory have been improved.
    The improved task of connecting geoportals allows you to optimize the display of popular third-party sources of spatial data (OpenStreetMap, Yandex, KB "Panorama" and others) on mobile devices. The program has increased the speed of loading and displaying tiles. Taking into account the system performance, a pool of independent threads is formed to load, process and display the received data. Multi-threaded data loading reduces latency when moving the screen, zooming the map, and performing spatial queries on the geoportal.
    The ability to save geoportal data into a pyramid of MBTiles tiles onto a user-selected area for further offline use on mobile devices in the absence of the Internet has been implemented. In order to increase the speed of data access for the WMS protocol, data caching in the form of tiles has been added. In the developed mobile applications, a cache of data from geoportals will be automatically saved on the device and used in the absence of the Internet. In order to update previously saved data, you can set the geoportal cache lifetime in seconds.
    In the new version the possibility has been implemented for addition of a geoportal from the list to any open data. This will allow the user to combine a larger number of different data for a more detailed analysis of the area. In order to simplify navigation onto saved points of the "Navigator" task the ability of displaying a straight line to a point has been added. Also this mode displays distance to the chosen point from the center of the screen. The new version adds the ability to customize the behavior of the "Zoom" gesture: always change the scale to the center of the screen or change the scale to the center of the zoom gesture.
    The functioning of the developed mobile application in conditions of limited amount of available RAM has been improved. The need for the program to work in conditions of a small amount of system resources becomes relevant when using the embedded devices, portable laptops, specialized tablets and other similar devices. If there is a lack of memory, the GIS core automatically activates a buffer with a limited amount of memory and performs all operations with data using only this buffer. As a result, memory consumption by the GIS application is drastically reduced. The new version of the application adds the ability to explicitly set a limit on the amount of memory used by the application for opening the data, when it is reached, this mode will be activated forcibly.
    GIS "Panorama Mobile" allows you to open and edit the main formats of digital maps of GIS "Panorama" and popular geoportals on mobile devices based on the Aurora OS, to process information from the built-in GPS/GLONASS receiver. The user can prepare in advance a necessary set of spatial data in one of desktop products (GIS "Panorama", "Panorama-editor", GIS Panorama Mini) and to transfer it into the mobile GIS "Panorama Mobile". The process of working with data is carried out autonomously, without connecting to the Internet. When the user moves, his current position is dynamically displayed according to the coordinates obtained from the GPS/GLONASS receiver. For ease of use, it is possible to synchronize the position of the map with the current location. To save the coordinates obtained during movement, a track recording mode is provided, which creates a separate map and puts the trajectory of movement onto it. For all objects of a map during the work the basic information is provided . The program is developed on the basis of the GIS Constructor toolkit, which provides components for creating mobile applications for working with digital maps in the C++ programming language using the Qt.

The list of available MAPAPI interface methods has been supplemented and the list of supported geoportals has been expanded.
    The improved task of connecting geoportals allows you to optimize the display of popular third-party sources of spatial data (OpenStreetMap, Yandex, KB "Panorama" and others) on mobile devices. The new version has increased the speed of loading and displaying tiles. The GIS core automatically evaluates the computer parameters: the number of cores, the size of the RAM, the bandwidth of the data transmission channel. Taking into account the performance of the system, a pool of independent threads is formed to load, process and display the received data. Multi-threaded data loading reduces delays when moving the screen, scaling the map, and performing spatial queries to the geoportal.
    The ability to save geoportal data into a pyramid of MBTiles tiles or into a raster for a user-selected territory for further offline use on mobile devices in the absence of the Internet has been implemented. In order to increase the speed of data access for the WMS protocol, data caching in the form of tiles has been added. In the developed mobile applications, a cache of data from geoportals will be automatically saved on the device and used in the absence of the Internet. In order to update previously saved data, it is possible to set the geoportal cache lifetime in seconds.
    Access to geoportal archive data has been added. Examples of such geoportals are the Sentinel Hub geoportal or the VEGA service. The task allows you to connect to images or data on the geoportal by specifying the date, the request period, or the percentage of maximum cloudiness of satellite images. Into the list of geoportals the geoportal of Krasnodar territory has been added containing the layers: Administrative territorial division, Contours of fields of agricultural land, Fishing grounds, Vine plantations. The new version of the toolkit provides tools for implementing access to dynamically expanded geoportals (for example, KB "Panorama"). When choosing such a geoportal, you need to submit a GetCapabilities request to the service and, based on it, build a list of current data to be presented in the form of a tree of available layers.
    In toolkit the algorithms for processing and displaying data have been improved. The number of supported sheets for multi-sheet maps has been increased by 4 times. The accuracy of transparency calculations for vector objects and a polygon object - colored glass - has been increased. The algorithms for interaction with the GIS Server have been improved, for example, the interaction mechanism when editing maps containing a small number of objects. The list of available MAPAPI methods has been expanded. There are implemented the methods for constructing the intersection of multipolygons in the form of a multipolygon and creating map objects using coordinates from a text file. Ability to display only error messages in the diagnostic protocol has been added. This allows you to effectively determine the cause of abnormal behavior of a program that performs a large number of operations with spatial data. In this case, limiting the output by error messages reduces the size of the resulting protocol and makes it convenient for further analysis.
    The functioning of the developed mobile applications in conditions of limited amount of available RAM has been improved. The need for the program to work in conditions of a small amount of system resources becomes relevant when using the embedded devices, portable laptops, specialized tablets and other similar devices. If there is a lack of memory, the GIS core automatically activates a buffer with a limited amount of memory and performs all operations with data using only this buffer. As a result, memory consumption by the GIS application is drastically reduced. The new version adds the ability to explicitly set a limit on the amount of memory used by the application for opening the data, when it is reached, this mode will be activated forcibly.
    Display of sea maps according to the S52 standard has been improved. There is clarified the implementation of procedures for forming depth values based on attribute values for underwater obstacles, taking into account the underlying objects, a requesting the code of the displayed symbol and the display flag taking into account the depth of the obstacle and requesting the code of an isolated underwater hazard with a depth less than the safety contour.
    As an example, the program includes the source texts of the mobile application GIS "Panorama Mobile" for OS Aurora. They can be taken as a basis at creation of own mobile application in the C++ programming language with use of tools of Qt and QML. GIS "Panorama Mobile" allows you to jointly display vector maps (topographic, operational situation, marine navigation, aeronautical), matrix and raster data (Earth's remote sensing data). Modern packed formats of vector maps SITZ, MAPZ, MPTZ are supported, which are decompressed in RAM on the fly. The user can dynamically control the visibility of each layer for easy viewing and analysis of spatial data. Popular spatial data geoportals (OpenStreetMap, Yandex, KB "Panorama" and others) can be used as cartographic substrates. Connecting geoportals allows you to receive cartographic information anywhere in the world when determining the current location and recording the route from the built-in GPS / GLONASS receiver. GIS "Panorama Mobile" allows processing data formats of desktop products (GIS "Panorama", Panorama-editor, GIS Panorama Mini).
    GIS Constructor for the domestic mobile OS Aurora is a set of geoinformation components based on the cross-platform interface for working with spatial data MAPAPI and the Qt framework, which allows you to develop your own GIS applications for mobile devices based on the Aurora OS. Visualization of the contents of digital maps is carried out in conventional symbols adopted for topographical, geographical and various special maps.

  • 27.10.2023 GIS ToolKit Active improves the performance of search and analytical operations over spatial data
    In KB "Panorama" the GIS ToolKit Active version 15.0.0 has been developed for creating geoinformation systems with a free license in any programming environment that supports ActiveX technology, for example, Visual Studio, 1C8. The new version increases the speed of performing the search and analytical operations on geodata by using the functions of the updated GIS core.
    The component for connecting geoportals (axMapWMSPopupDialog) has been improved. The speed of loading and displaying tiles has been increased. The GIS core automatically evaluates the computer parameters: the number of cores, the size of the RAM, the bandwidth of the data transmission channel. Taking into account the performance of the system, a pool of independent threads is formed to load, process and display the received data. Multi-threaded data loading reduces delays when moving the screen, scaling the map, and performing spatial queries to the geoportal. For example, for a network with a bandwidth of 100 Mbps on a 4-core processor with a clock frequency of 3.5 GHz, the speed of displaying tiles from the KB "Panorama" geoportal increased 6 times, and the time to receive them decreased from 500ms to 70ms.
    The access component to the map objects classifier file (axMapRsc) has been improved. On the "Objects" and "Semantics" tabs, the ability to filter/search by all characteristics at once (name, code, key, number/guide) has been added. This search type is set by default. When you select a found object, the background color highlights the line of the characteristic by which the object was found. If the characteristic value completely matches the search string, the background color becomes light green, if incomplete - becomes yellow. A list has been added to the search line, in which the typed strings of effective search are saved. Selecting a line from the list makes it possible, if necessary, to quickly return to the previous search and its results.
    There is added the ability to assign to several signatures the attribute of specifying the size of the sign according to the length of the signature, as well as assigning the attribute of prohibiting/allowing stretching to elements. It allows you to expand some of the elements of a vector sign (for example, automatically stretch the sign frame around long signatures), and shift the remaining elements (design elements: circles, squares, rhombuses). The shifted elements can be located both inside and outside the sign frame. To assign a no-stretching attribute to an element, select an areal or linear element of the sign and click the "Do not stretch the element when specifying the size of the sign" button.
    The modes have been added into the "Clusters" tab: creating a new cluster's sign by copying the selected one, copying a cluster sign from another classifier via the clipboard. The cluster sign is used to display densely spaced point symbols of the same view of objects with a common sign. The tab selects the views of objects related to each type of cluster, the cell sizes vertically and horizontally, the semantics code for specifying the current number of objects in the cluster, the view of cluster symbol, the limiting percentage of increasing the size of the cluster symbol and the limiting number of objects corresponding to the maximum size of the symbol cluster. When copying a cluster's sign from one classifier to another, it is necessary to re-assign the views of objects related to this cluster.
    The axMapObj component has been improved. In the object selection dialog, which is called using the ShowDialogInfo method, a processing of "hot" keys for the "Next" (Ctrl + ">") and "Back" (Ctrl + "<") buttons has been added, the "Number of semantics" field has been placed under the table. In the "Metrics" tab, saving and restoring the expanded view of the object scheme has been added, and the ergonomics of the explanatory inscriptions of profile heights for objects containing 3D metrics has been improved. The functionality of the "All object in window" button has been expanded. If the main contour (0) was selected before clicking the "All object in window" button, the map is scaled so that the selected object occupies the maximum area of the window. If any other contour was selected, then the map is scaled according to the dimensions of the selected contour (subobject).
    An example of using GIS ToolKit Active components for the 1C:Enterprise platform version no lower than 8.3.20 has been developed. The example demonstrates working with a local map, with a map opened over a network (including the Internet), searching for map objects by a set of attributes, creating and editing metrics of map objects.
    GIS ToolKit Active contains a set of visual and non-visual components, allowing to use the spatial and attributive data for display and execution of special calculations. With use of these components the geoinformation systems of various level (federal, regional, municipal, corporate) are created. The toolkit includes support for local, national and international coordinate systems (parameters for more than 4,000 different coordinate systems are included into the package). The extensive Bank of geospatial data is accessible for the toolkit use.

  • 26.10.2023 In the "Workstation of geologist" a creation of scheme of an engineering-geological cut has been automated
    In KB "Panorama" the "Workstation of geologist" versions 15.1.0 has been developed. In the new version of the program the mode "Construction of engineering-geological profiles in the form of the scheme" as a part of the Geological editor has been improved. The mode provides creation of the scheme of an engineering-geological cut in the form of a user map. The initial data for creating a scheme of a geological cut are point objects - wellheads, a line of a cut and relief elevation matrix. The program uses three-dimensional metrics of a line of a cut to construct the ground level. Next, it analyzes the semantics of wellheads to obtain information about the composition of the exposed layers and the level of occurrence of their roof and base. The obtained data is interpolated along a cut line to the right and to the left up to the middle of the segment between two wells.
    In the updated version of the program, the use of models of a relief has been added to improve the visualization of the scheme and facilitate its editing. If there is an open model of a relief (matrix of heights, matrix of layers, TIN model, point cloud), the creation of a scheme is carried out taking into account the absolute heights of the terrain relief. The ground surface line and borehole layers are put onto the scheme in accordance with the heights requested along the line of geological cut with a given step. In the absence of the model of a relief, the layers of wells are put onto the scheme using rectangular objects. Means of adjustment of parametres of the created scheme are finished, the list of scales of a scale of depths and a scale of lengths is expanded.
    The modes of the "Raster Editor" task for raster location by 1 or 2 points have been improved. Ability has been added to select a raster point by taking coordinates from a map object. To do this, the "Take another point" and "Take another line" items are built into the context menu of the modes. Also, setting a new position of the specified raster point can be done using the context menu item "Input point coordinates from keyboard". Raster binding modes are called up using the context menu of the "Rasters" tab in the "Data list" (menu View - Rasters list) and "Map Legend" (Tools - Map Legend menu) dialogs, as well as the corresponding buttons in the "Work with raster" auxiliary panel of "Raster Editor" task.
    The "Classifier Editor" task has been improved. On the "Objects" and "Semantics" tabs, the ability to filter/search by all characteristics at once (name, code, key, number/guide) has been added. The display of the vector sign has been improved. Ability has been added to unload a background image (png, jpg, bmp), which allows you to apply vector signs by a raster sample. The raster sample is displayed with the selected degree of intensity and can be adjusted to a convenient size. When placing a sign on a map the sign is disproportionately stretched to its overall dimensions.
    The new version of the program is available in the Download section.

  • 25.10.2023 GIS WebService SE provides publication of user layers based on data from SXF, TXF, KML, SHP, MIF formats
    In KB "Panorama" the GIS WebService SE version 15.5.1 has been developed. In the new version a loading of data from formats SXF, TXF, KML, SHP, MIF has been added. The service publishes the downloaded data as user layers. With these layers it is possible to work as with a map: to perform overlay operations, to view and edit the information, to carry out search of objects and to perform other requests. For example, select on the layer only those objects that intersect or come into contact with specially protected territories. New possibilities of service allow together with the Databank of digital maps and remote sensing data to create a cross-platform system of storing and updating of spatial data with the automated formation of geo-coverings.
    The program has expanded the ability to search of objects. End-to-end search functions have been added to allow additional filtering of response results. A request to search for objects by the value of arbitrary semantics has been implemented. There are added the requests for working with lists of objects: checking intersections between groups of objects of different layers using filters; search of objects between two lists, the distance between which satisfies the search conditions; search of objects that begin/end in the first list. The selection of objects according to the list of identifiers with the use of other filters by semantics and metrics has been implemented. Ability has been added to sort the results of the response.
    The service administrator has been improved. For Linux systems, the ability to stop and start the service has been added. The customization of the metadata file of the WPS service has been implemented. Archiving and restoration of copies of configuration files from the administrator have been added. The display of layers in the service administrator has been accelerated when displaying tens of thousands of published data.
    GIS WebService SE supports all international standards (OGC WFS, WFS-T, WMS, WMTS, WCS, WPS), which are used to transmit and display spatial data. The program has the ability to display tiles using any user or local coordinate system. The application is implemented on Windows and Linux platforms and is compatible with Apache, IIS and nginx web servers.

    In KB "Panorama" the GIS WebServer SE version 6.17.0 has been developed for operating systems Astra Linux, CentOS, Ubuntu, MS Windows. In the new version the tools for developing and connecting own components of interaction with a map have been improved. Search by the sizes of objects and sorting of result has been implemented.
    In the administration module the possibility has been added to connect the user tasks developed in accordance with the structure of the GIS WebToolKit SE components. On the "Plugins" tab, you can connect software modules that allow you to interact with the map through own graphical interface. On the "Triggers" tab, you can add handlers subscribed onto map events. The user tasks, except of using the basic API server, can also send requests to their own PHP modules. An example of a plugin is a form that displays summary information on selected objects on the map in the form of a diagram. A trigger on the event of object selection can edit its description according to the user database.
    In the "Map Objects" component, the use of external functions has been expanded. There is added the ability to set several functions, each of which can display information about the object into the window. In addition, the component implements a sorting of result and quick search. User settings of the application have been added into the "Parameters" component, while maintaining the ability to set individual project parameters.

  • 20.10.2023 GIS "Panorama" version 15 for OS "Astra Linux Special Edition" provides connection of video streams from remote video cameras through the cartographical interface
    In KB "Panorama" the GIS "Panorama" version 15.0.0 has been developed for OS "Astra Linux Special Edition" (release "Smolensk"). In the new version the possibility of viewing video streams from remote cameras in real time has been added, modes of tasks of the map editor, connection of geoportals and selection of map objects by various conditions of search have been improved, the list of supported geoportals has been expanded. The tools for processing and displaying data, the mechanisms for opening and exchanging spatial data with the GIS Server have been improved.
    In the program the possibility has been added for viewing in real time the video streams from the remote video cameras connected to a network the Internet. The location of video cameras can be indicated on a map of the area, a plan of a city, a building, an industrial area, or a three-dimensional model using various conventional symbols (objects). Objects may be moving if the camera is mounted on a vehicle. In semantics of objects the link onto the video stream or camera ip-address is indicated. Integration of geodata with video streams simplifies the construction of systems for monitoring terrain conditions, traffic control, security systems and others. The program allows you to simultaneously view video in real time from different sources of video data. The connection to the video camera is configured in the "Select Object" dialog. HTTP and RTSP data transfer protocols are supported. The "Setting up and viewing a connection to a video camera" mode allows you to select an object on the map and establish a connection to the camera using the "Setting up connection to the video camera" dialog. Data about the connected camera and its current status will be displayed in the dialog. To visually identify a camera with a map object, it is possible to assign a camera color. In this case, the camera object on the map will have the color selected by the user and correspond to the frame of dialog of viewing the video image. After connecting to the camera, a window opens to view the video stream.
    The "List of photo and video data" mode allows you to view all objects on the map that have links to photo and video data. In the dialog, you can go to these objects on the map and open the viewing windows displaying photo and video data. For the camera objects, a customizing of connection to the video camera is provided.
    The "Loading coordinates from a text file" dialog has been improved, intended for creating map objects with a metric formed from values of coordinates from a TXT text file. Depending on the nature of the localization of the selected type of object, a linear or areal object can be created, the metric of which consists of all the points listed in the file, or a set of point objects, the number of which corresponds to the number of lines with coordinates in the text file. A file with coordinates can be created in any text editor. The lines in the file must have the same field structure, separated by a delimiter character. The delimiter can be one of the following characters: space, tab, comma, semicolon, forward slash or backslash, vertical bar, underscore, or colon. The coordinates in the file can be presented in meters in the map coordinate system or in degrees in the WGS-84 coordinate system. In a case if loaded coordinates are presented not in the map coordinate system, they will be converted to the map coordinate system during processing. In dialog the possibility of adjusting a conformity of columns with values of coordinates is provided. The minimum required setting requires specifying file columns containing X and Y coordinate values. If there is a column with height data in the text file, you can specify a column for the H field. To fill in the coordinate value of a four-dimensional metric, you can specify a column for the M field.
    The "Map Editor" task has been improved. In the "Object samples" mode, the maximum number of objects samples (buttons) in the layout line has been increased to 32 and the maximum number of lines - to 12. The creation of a sample for a set of selected map objects has been improved. Samples of created objects is a panel with buttons containing images of objects of the selected type or a group of objects with prepared semantics or graphic symbols outside the classifier. The use of pre-prepared samples speeds up the process of creating and updating vector terrain maps for various purposes.
    The task "Highlight any area" has been improved. Changing the conditions for selecting objects selected by area has been simplified. The selection of objects by area is performed using the modes "Select inside the object" and "Select by any area" (polygon, rectangular fragment, lasso). At the end of drawing the area on the map, objects located inside the selected area are highlighted. To change the selection conditions, press the right mouse button and select one of the modes in the context menu: Highlight inside (delete intersection), Highlight with intersection (and inside), Highlight outside (delete intersection).
    The mode "Create an object copy" has been improved. This mode allows you to create copies of the selected object or copies of marked objects. The new implementation of the mode allows you to draw a copy of an object or group of marked objects for each mouse click. This method allows you to increase the speed of creating the same type of objects.
    Selection of objects on the map based on various search conditions has been improved. If clusters are displayed on the map (generalized signs of nearby objects specified in the classifier), then the corresponding signs of the clusters are displayed and highlighted, taking into account the number of signs and their location on the map.
    Algorithms for processing and displaying data have been improved. The number of supported sheets for multi-sheet maps has been increased by 4 times. The accuracy of transparency calculations for vector objects and a polygon object - colored glass - has been increased. The algorithms for interaction with the GIS Server have been improved, for example, the interaction mechanism when editing maps containing a small number of objects.
    The task of connecting geoportals has been improved. The new version has increased the speed of loading and displaying tiles. The GIS core automatically evaluates the computer parameters: the number of cores, the size of the RAM, the bandwidth of the data transmission channel. Taking into account the performance of the system, a pool of independent threads is formed to load, process and display the received data. Multi-threaded data loading reduces delays when moving the screen, scaling the map, and performing spatial queries to the geoportal. For example, for a network with a bandwidth of 100 Mbps on a 4-core processor with a clock frequency of 3.5 GHz, the speed of displaying tiles from the KB "Panorama" geoportal increased 6 times, and the time to receive them decreased from 500ms to 70ms.
    Access to geoportal archive data has been added. Examples of such geoportals are the Sentinel Hub geoportal or the VEGA service. The task allows you to connect to images or data on the geoportal by specifying the date, the request period, or the percentage of maximum cloudiness of satellite images. To quickly change the image from the geoportal, a new dialog has been added that allows you to set the parameters for accessing archived data (date, period, cloudiness); to set an offset or reference to a point if the geoportal has a lower accuracy than the map or data with which the geoportal is combined; to set transparency color - to view several layers at the same time; to set the color of the filter to change the color scheme of the geoportal.
    Data from geoportals can be saved into a pyramid of MBTILES tiles or into a raster for a territory selected by the user. In order to increase the speed of data access for the WMS protocol, caching of data in the form of tiles has been added. The data is saved in the form of a pyramid of tiles 1024Ρ…1024 in a folder of location of the geoportal cache. This change will allow the user to accumulate data locally and, in the absence of the Internet, use the already accumulated data cache. In order to update previously saved data, it is possible to set the lifetime of the geoportal cache in seconds.
    When connecting geoportals that are not included in the general list (wmslist_ru.xml file), connection data is saved in the general list in the "User connections" section. This will allow you to quickly connect the previously used geoportal. The list of "User connections" allows you to add data to it, and remove data from it. The mechanism for replacing the user settings file wmslist_ru.xml with a new one from the installation has been improved. A copying of previously connected user portals has been added when replacing the settings file. In the new version the possibility of connection of dynamically expanded list of available geoportals has been added. When such a geoportal is selected, a GetCapabilities request is sent to the service, and based on it, the list is automatically expanded with relevant data in the form of a tree of available layers. Support for a proxy server with domain authorization has been added.

An email address field has also been added. A form for editing information about the customer's representative has been added.
    In the "Map (plan) of a land management object" mode, a reading from the cadastral works database of information on the customer's representative, including details of the power of attorney, has been added.
    In accordance with the requirements of the Order of the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia dated December 8, 2015 N 921 "On approval of the form and composition of land survey plan information, requirements for its preparation" (Registered with the Ministry of Justice of Russia on January 20, 2016 N 40651) paragraph 46, Description of the passage of part of the boundaries of the land plot in sections of the text part of the land survey plan is indicated if parts of the boundaries of the land plot coincide with the location of the external boundaries of natural objects and (or) objects of artificial origin, including linear objects, information about which is contained in the Unified State Register of Real Estate.
    To fulfill this requirement, the program implements an algorithm that uses linear objects corresponding to segments of the land plot’s metrics, plotted on the map using the "Decorating a parcel with border lines" mode. For those sections of borders that meet the requirements of clause 46, for linear objects it is necessary to fill in the semantic value "Description of passing the border". In the "Land survey plan" mode, the program will automatically search for linear objects using the metrics of the land plot . If a plot boundary is found and it has a semantic value of 1032 "Description of passing the border", the corresponding value is inserted into the report. If semantics is not filled, a dash is inserted into the report. If there are no "Border of a plot" objects or the search flag is not set, then the value from the settings of the "Cadastral documents" task is inserted into the report. For the functioning of the described algorithm, it is necessary to use the new version of the survey classifier, containing the objects "The formed parcel boundary is accurate", "The formed parcel boundary is not accurate", "The existing parcel boundary is accurate", "The existing parcel boundary is not accurate".
    In the "Land survey plan" mode, the "Kind of file for directory" column has been added into the "Attached files" table on the "Applications" page. In the "Land survey plan" dialog on the "Cadastral Engineer" and "Customer of cadastral works" pages, data verification for extraneous information has been added in the input fields. When forming an XML document of a land survey plan, in the absence at the specified object in the new nodes of the corresponding point objects - the formed points, information about the coordinates was not formed. An error in searching for points of the source object taking into account the semantics "Cadastral number" and "Account number" has been fixed. The order of formation of the SpecifyRelatedParcel element for an adjacent property, in which a section of the adjacent border passed through the first point, has been corrected.
    For the "Technical plan of the parking space" mode, the ability of starting for objects selected on the map has been added. This ensures the operation of dividing one parking space into two or more, with the formation method "Other".
    In the "Registry error correction" mode, a check has been added to ensure that an empty PointPref element is not written. Search for point objects in metric point nodes has been corrected. On the corrected boundary of the plot, in the absence of the "old" point, only new coordinates are recorded.
    In the "Editing the semantics of object of cadastral work" dialog, the technology for storing information about the types of address elements - geonyms - has been improved. To support simultaneous data input in text form and with selection from the directory, two different elements are used. Two different semantics are used to store data. For the mode functioning, it is necessary to use the updated classifier classifier survey.v6 or survey.v5.
    For the "Create point objects from *.csv file" mode, the processing of the line with the signature text has been corrected. Elements have been added to display information about the field code of a point, which displays the value from the first line of data. The program has changed the algorithm for reading and parsing fields in a data line of a CSV file. Reading of several variants of lines is provided. One line can contain from three to five data fields, including: N - point name, XY - plan coordinates, H - height and C - point code. Errors in the initial initialization of information about the installed codes of signatures and signs of their putting onto the map have been corrected. Recording the point code has been added into the semantics of the "Field survey point code" (code 235).
    The new version of the program is available on the website in the Download section.

  • 18.10.2023 GIS Server version 11 supports user authentication in the heterogeneous domain
    In KB "Panorama" the GIS Server version 11.0 has been developed for operating systems Astra Linux SE, Ubuntu 18.04, CentOS 8, CentOS 7 and MS Windows. The new version of the program implements the possibility of domain authentication on the GIS Server for Linux included in Active Directory. The client personal computers included in the domain, can run both under control of Linux OS, and under control of MS Windows OS. The ability to authenticate old clients is preserved: Linux clients - on the Linux GIS Server in the ALD domain (using the SASL - Kerberos protocol), MS Windows clients - on the GIS Server in MS Windows in the Active Directory domain (using the SSPI protocol). For users, it does not matter what OS the GIS Server operates under: the GIS client application will automatically select the required protocol.
    GIS Server provides remote access to vector maps, remote sensing data and spatial databases. Placing data on a server ensures data protection from illegal viewing, copying, modification and printing. The user selects data to work by their conventional names (aliases). GIS Server SE supports multi-level connections between each other for distributed storage and processing of spatial data with automatic replication and backup.
    The new version of the program is available for download on the Download page.

  • 17.10.2023 In GIS "Panorama" version 15 the applications for geologists, cadastral engineers and cartographers have been improved
    In KB "Panorama" the GIS "Panorama" version 15.1.0 has been developed. In the new version the applications for the "Complex of geological tasks", "Complex of 3D analysis", tasks of preparation of cadastral documents and conducting a base of cadastral works, "Classifier Editor" have been updated. Display of complex conventional symbols has been improved, support for domain authentication on the GIS Server in a heterogeneous domain has been added, support has been added for addition, intersection and cutting of lists when selecting objects in a closed area.
    In the "Complex of geological tasks" the mode "Construction of engineering-geological profiles in the form of the scheme" has been improved, which provides creation of a drawing of a scheme of an engineering-geological cut in the form of the user map. Means of adjustment of parametres of the created scheme are improved, the list of scales of a scale of depths and a scale of lengths is expanded. The tools for customizing the parameters of the created scheme have been improved, the list of scales for the depth scale and lengths scale has been expanded. To improve the visualization of the scheme and facilitate its editing, you can use models of a relief. If there is an open model of a relief (matrix of heights, matrix of layers, TIN model, point cloud), the creation of a scheme is carried out taking into account the heights of the relief. The ground surface line and borehole layers are put onto the scheme in accordance with the heights requested along the line of geological cut with a given step. In the absence of the model of a relief, the layers of wells are put onto the scheme using rectangular objects. The complex of geological tasks is intended for processing the results of engineering geological researches, preparation and formation of drawings of engineering-geological columns and cuts, modelling of a relief, a geological structure and hydro-geological conditions, calculation of volumes and creation of plans of earthworks.
    The task "Calculation of reserves of solid minerals" task, which is part of the "Complex of 3D analysis", has been improved. The task is designed to assess the scale of mineral reserves and resources in the development of open-pit deposits. The new version adds support for various types of terrain models. In addition to matrices of heights (MTW), it is possible to use point clouds (MTD), matrices of layers (MTL) and TIN models. "Complex of 3D analysis" is designed to create surface models and solve spatial analysis problems using constructed models.
    The task "Map Editor - Graphic objects - Point mark options" has been improved. Dialog interface has been updated. The grid step in the point mark drawing area has been increased, which allows you to apply graphic shapes more accurately. The ergonomics of the modes for drawing points, contour lines, circles and patterns have been improved.
    The "Classifier Editor" task has been improved. On the "Objects" and "Semantics" tabs, the ability to filter/search by all characteristics at once (name, code, key, number/guide) has been added. This search type is set by default. When you select a found object, the background color highlights the line of the characteristic by which the object was found. If the characteristic value completely matches the search string, the background color becomes light green, if incomplete - becomes yellow. A list has been added to the search line, in which the typed strings of effective search are saved. Selecting a line from the list makes it possible, if necessary, to quickly return to the previous search and its results.
    The display of the vector sign has been improved. When placing a sign on a map, the sign is disproportionately stretched to its overall dimensions. To preserve the shape (proportions) of individual elements of the sign (circles, crosses, squares), a corresponding property has been added. The property is assigned in the element table of the vector sign editing dialog. The dialog for editing a vector sign has been improved. To increase the convenience of creating and editing a vector sign, a closer location of the editing toolbar and the table of sign elements has been provided, and work with table elements has been simplified. Faster application of linear and areal contours has been provided. Ability has been added to unload a background image (png, jpg, bmp), which allows you to apply vector contours by a raster sample. The raster sample is displayed with the selected degree of intensity and can be adjusted to a convenient size.
    In the menu "View - Map image" the item "Draft with nodes and border" has been added. When it is turned on, the nodal points of objects and their overall borders are displayed. This allows you to more accurately customize the parameters of conventional object symbols.
    There is implemented the possibility of a domain authentication on the GIS Server version 11 in a heterogeneous domain when the GIS Server is installed on a computer included in Active Directory running Linux OS. Previously, for an Active Directory domain, only one option for using domain authentication was possible - a user on a PC running Windows OS could be authorized by a GIS Server installed on the server also running Windows OS. Innovations allow domain users running on a PC running both Linux OS and Windows OS to be tested on a GIS Server version 11 running Linux OS included into Active Directory. Active Directory domain users can access spatial data on the GIS Server in accordance with their permissions specified by the GIS Server administrator. Permissions to access spatial data on the GIS Server can be assigned to both specific domain users and groups of domain users. In the latter case, when adding a user to a domain user group that has been assigned permissions on the GIS Server, the new user will automatically receive appropriate access to spatial data without changing the GIS Server settings.
    In the "Highlight any area" mode, the ability has been added of sequential performing the operations of addition, intersection and cutting of lists of objects selected by area. When you start the "Highlight any area" mode, the option of addition of lists will be automatically enabled. It allows you to sequentially highlight a common list of objects by different areas on the map. If some objects need to be excluded from the selected ones, then you can select the "Cutting list" item in the menu by the right button and circle the corresponding objects. The "Cutting list" option can be immediately enabled if you press the CTRL + SHIFT combination when you click on the button of the main panel "Highlight any area". When you select the "List Intersection" item in the menu using the right button, you can leave from the previously selected objects only those that fall into the new circled area. The "List Intersection" option can be enabled immediately if the CTRL key is pressed when the mouse is pressed on the button of the main panel "Highlight any area".
    The modes for raster location by 1 or 2 points have been improved. Ability has been added to select a raster point by taking coordinates from a map object. To do this, the "Take another point" and "Take another line" items are built into the context menu of the modes. Also, setting a new position of the specified raster point can be done using the context menu item "Input point coordinates from keyboard". Raster binding modes are called up using the context menu of the "Rasters" tab in the "Data list" (menu View - Rasters list) and "Map Legend" (Tools - Map Legend menu) dialogs, as well as the corresponding buttons in the "Work with raster" auxiliary panel of "Raster Editor" task.
    The "Geodesy editor" task has been improved. For the modes "Create point objects from csv file", "Create linear objects from csv file" and "Create areal objects from csv file", elements have been added to display information about the field code of a point, which displays the value from the first line of data. Reading of several variants of lines is provided. One line can contain from three to five data fields, including: N - point name, XY - plan coordinates, H - height and C - point code. Recording the point code has been added into the semantics of the "Field survey point code" (code 235).
    The task "Cadastral documents" has been improved. In the "Reading the cadastral plan of the territory and updating the map" mode, import of information onto the map from the XML extract file according to the extract_about_property_under_construction scheme has been added. Based on the reading results, an unfinished construction object is put onto the map and its semantics are filled with values from the extract. In accordance with the requirements of the Order of the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia dated December 8, 2015 N 921 "On approval of the form and composition of land survey plan information, requirements for its preparation" (Registered with the Ministry of Justice of Russia on January 20, 2016 N 40651) paragraph 46, Description of the passage of part of the boundaries of the land plot in sections of the text part of the land survey plan is indicated if parts of the boundaries of the land plot coincide with the location of the external boundaries of natural objects and (or) objects of artificial origin, including linear objects, information about which is contained in the Unified State Register of Real Estate. To implement this requirement in the program, it is necessary to map linear objects corresponding to the segments of the metric of the land plot using the "Decorating a parcel with border lines" mode. For border sections that meet the requirements of clause 46, it is necessary to fill in the semantic value "Description of passing the border". In the "Land survey plan" mode, the program will automatically search for linear objects using the metrics of the land plot ("The formed parcel boundary is accurate", "The formed parcel boundary is not accurate", "The existing parcel boundary is accurate", "The existing parcel boundary is not accurate"). If a plot boundary is found and it has a semantic value of 1032 "Description of passing the border", the corresponding value is inserted into the report. If semantics is not filled, a dash is inserted into the report. If there are no "Border of a plot" objects or the search flag is not set, then the value from the settings of the "Cadastral documents" task is inserted into the report. For the functioning of the described algorithm, it is necessary to use the new version of the classifier survey.v6.rscz.
    In the database of cadastral works, data loading by points of the geodetic network from a CSV file has been implemented. This function ensures the transfer of information about points from the catalog of coordinates in csv format into the cadastral database. A table of customer representatives has been added in the structure of the cadastral works database. Into the customer's editing form the corresponding field (except physical persons) and email address field have been added. A form for editing information about the customer's representative has been added. In the "Map (plan) of a land management object" mode, a reading from the cadastral works database of information on the customer's representative, including details of the power of attorney, has been added.
    In the "Land survey plan" mode, the "Kind of file for directory" column has been added into the "Attached files" table on the "Applications" page. In the "Land survey plan" dialog on the "Cadastral Engineer" and "Customer of cadastral works" pages, data verification for extraneous information has been added in the input fields. When forming an XML document of a land survey plan, in the absence at the specified object in the new nodes of the corresponding point objects - the formed points, information about the coordinates was not formed.
    For the "Technical plan of the parking space" mode, the ability of starting for objects selected on the map has been added. This ensures the operation of dividing one parking space into two or more, with the formation method "Other". In the "Registry error correction" mode, a check has been added to ensure that an empty PointPref element is not written. Search for point objects in metric point nodes has been corrected. On the corrected boundary of the plot, in the absence of the "old" point, only new coordinates are recorded.
    In the "Editing the semantics of object of cadastral work" dialog, the technology for storing information about the types of address elements - geonyms - has been improved. To support simultaneous data input in text form and with selection from the directory, two different elements are used. Two different semantics are used to store data. For the mode functioning, it is necessary to use the updated classifier classifier survey.v6 or survey.v5.
    The new version of the program is available for download on the Download page.

  • 16.10.2023 Bank of spatial data has been supplemented with a map of the Republic of Sudan
    Geoportal "Bank of spatial data" has been supplemented with a map of the Republic of Sudan, formed according to OpenStreetMap data. To work with the map, you can use the GIS Panorama Mini program or other software products of KB "Panorama".
    The map was led to the modernised classifier of large-scale plans of scale 1: 5 000 (map5000m). Publishing of updates in bank of spatial data is made by using the program of Databank of digital maps and remote sensing data. Publishing contents of bank of spatial data on the geoportal and data access for downloading are implemented by means of GIS WebServer SE.
    Free maps on the basis of OpenStreetMap data are available for download on the page "Digital maps".

  • 13.10.2023 Training material on creation of clusters in the GIS "Panorama" classifier editor has been prepared
    Specialists of KB "Panorama" have prepared a video lesson on creation of clusters with using the "Classifier Editor" task. The considered task is available to users in the GIS "Panorama", "Workstation of cadastral engineer", "Workstation of agronomist" and other software products of KB "Panorama".
    If the map is very overloaded, you can combine signs of similar meaning into groups and, if the conditions are met, instead of several signs, display one - a generalizing one. An automatic clustering algorithm is implemented to display densely spaced point characters.
    The video tutorial provides an example of creating a "Cluster" for closely spaced conventional symbols on a map. When creating a "Cluster", you should enter the necessary parameters for correct display on the map, create the external view of the cluster, and you can create your own generalizing conventional symbol. Next, you need to add conventional symbols into the formed cluster. Maps with clusters customized in the classifier are automatically supported in all desktop and web applications, as well as in applications developed in the GIS ToolKit and GIS Constructor.
    You can view the training materials in the "Video lessons" section.

  • 12.10.2023 GIS ToolKit provides multi-threaded downloading data from geoportals
    In KB "Panorama" a toolkit for creating GIS applications the GIS ToolKit version 15.0.0 has been developed. In the new version, the component for connecting geoportals (TMapWMSPopupDialog) has been improved. The speed of loading and displaying tiles has been increased. The GIS core automatically evaluates the computer parameters: the number of cores, the size of the RAM, the bandwidth of the data transmission channel. Taking into account the performance of the system, a pool of independent threads is formed to load, process and display the received data. Multi-threaded data loading reduces delays when moving the screen, scaling the map, and performing spatial queries to the geoportal. For example, for a network with a bandwidth of 100 Mbps on a 4-core processor with a clock frequency of 3.5 GHz, the speed of displaying tiles from the KB Panorama geoportal increased 6 times, and the time to receive them decreased from 500ms to 70ms.
    Data from geoportals can be saved into a pyramid of MBTILES tiles or into a raster for a territory selected by the user. In order to increase the speed of data access for the WMS protocol, caching of data in the form of tiles has been added. The data is saved in the form of a pyramid of tiles 1024Ρ…1024 in a folder of location of the geoportal cache. This change will allow the user to accumulate data locally and, in the absence of the Internet, use the already accumulated data cache. The ability to set the lifetime of the geoportal cache in seconds has been implemented (in order to update previously saved data).
    The access component to the map object classifier file (TMapRsc) has been improved. There is added the ability to simultaneously edit the properties of several objects, select and transfer them to another layer or class, assign a common name, edit the visibility scale, digitizing direction, limits for changing the size of a sign, adding, deleting, changing the status of semantics. The function of assigning to several signatures of the attribute of specifying the size of the sign according to the length of the signature, assigning the attribute of prohibiting/allowing stretching to elements. This mode allows you to expand some of the elements of a vector sign (for example, automatically stretch the sign frame around long signatures), and shift the remaining elements (design elements: circles, squares, rhombuses). The shifted elements can be located both inside and outside the sign frame. To assign a no-stretching attribute to an element, select an areal or linear element of the sign and click the "Do not stretch the element when specifying the size of the sign" button.
    The list of programmable signs on the demonstration map \data\shape\shape.sitx has been extended. There is added an example of a symbol - "Coordinates of a point on a callout". In the conventional sign parameters, you can select a semantics code to display in the numerator of the callout line, up to 6 semantics codes to display values in the denominator in several lines, and a semantics code to display to the right of the callout line. If you enter the number "-1" as the semantics code, then the X coordinate of the first point of the callout line will be displayed with an accuracy of cm, if the number "-2" is the Y coordinate of the first point, if the number "-3" is the H coordinate of the first point. Font options can be specified for the numerator and denominator strings (equally) and for the string that appears to the right of the horizontal portion of the callout line (for example, point number or other semantics).
    New functions have been added into MAPAPI to manage the general display list of spatial datasets: request the number of elements in the list of datasets (mapGetViewListCount), request the name of the element (path to the dataset) and the type in the list of datasets (mapGetViewListItemName) and others. The examples and test data included into the GIS ToolKit installation package have been updated.
    The GIS ToolKit is a set of visual components, classes and API functions of the GIS kernel for full-fledged work with spatial data. The toolkit is designed to develop client-server and the desktop 32-bit and 64-bit applications that require processing and visualization of spatial data. The GIS ToolKit classes and components are intended for use in the Embarcadero RAD Studio XE5 and higher programming environment (Delphi and C++ Builder) and are supplied with source codes. Components can be compared to "semi-finished products", using which you can quickly and easily develop your own geoinformation application. At the same time, the GIS kernel of the GIS ToolKit can be used not only in the Embarcadero environment, but in any development environment with any compiler that supports WINAPI standard function calls.
    The new version of the program is available for download on the Download page.

  • 11.10.2023 Training video material on the backup of the aeronautical database has been prepared
    Specialists of KB "Panorama" have prepared a video lesson on creating a backup copy of an aeronautical information database in PostgreSQL format. Complex of preparing documents of aeronautical information (ANI) is installed in addition to the GIS "Panorama" or GIS "Operator". The tutorial demonstrates the process of creating a database backup with use of the graphic interface pgAdmin4.
    During the process of creating a backup copy, there are specified the name of the resulting file with the extension *.backup, UTF8 encoding, role name, and additional parameters of unloading are configured. It is recommended to regularly backup the database, especially when updating versions of the software package.
    The complex of preparing documents of aeronautical information is a set of tools for maintaining an aeronautical data base, a modeling and analyzing the aeronautical situation, generating aeronautical maps and exchanging data with other information systems through export and import in the ARINC 424-19 exchange format and export in the AIXM 5.1 format.

  • 09.10.2023 Article has been published about use of the GIS "Panorama" in educational process of training of specialists in the field of geodesy, cartography and land management
    Employees of the Novosibirsk technical school of geodesy and cartography (NTGiK) prepared the article "Use of Professional GIS "Panorama" software for training of specialists in the field of geospatial technologies". The authors of the article were V.I. Obidenko (vice-rector for secondary vocational education - director of the technical school) and M.A. Tatarenkova (teacher at an educational institution).
    The published material examines the positive experience of the technical school of geodesy and cartography in training of mid-level specialists for the country's geospatial industry. It is shown that it is advisable for students to study geoinformation technologies on the basis of a single professional software that has the necessary tools and, preferably, of domestic origin. In NTGiK the GIS "Panorama" was chosen as such professional software. Software developer the KB "Panorama" takes a socially responsible position in the training of young specialists and provides its GIS for secondary vocational education institutions at a reduced price or free of charge. So, for the 75th anniversary of the technical school of geodesy and cartography, KB "Panorama" gave the technical school the licenses for 20 training places of the GIS "Panorama". This approach ensured in the period 2019-2023 a high-quality training at the technical school for about two hundred specialist cartographers who are professionally proficient in the GIS Panorama. At the same time, about a thousand graduates who studied in other specialties (aerial photogeodesy, applied geodesy, land management, information systems) have gained good experience of working with this software and are ready to use its capabilities in their professional activities.
    GIS "Panorama" - universal domestic geoinformation system. The program is designed for accumulation, storage, the automated processing and display of data, calculation results and forecasts with geospatial reference. GIS "Panorama" contains tools of displaying and processing vector, raster and matrix maps. The application provides users with tools for solving specialized tasks of modeling the movement of special objects against the background of 3D model, forecasting of consequences of emergencies at hazardous objects, monitoring of aircraft movement, conducting of geodetic and topographic work, processing the data from GPS/GLONASS navigation devices, printing the displayed spatial data to various output devices and many others.

  • 06.10.2023 GIS Constructor provides advanced possibilities of visualisation of spatial data
    In KB "Panorama" the GIS Constructor for Qt Designer SE version 15.0.0 has been developed. In the new version the tools of processing and displaying data have been improved, mechanisms for opening and exchanging spatial data with the GIS Server have been refined. Support for drawing objects from a text file has been implemented, and the list of available MAPAPI interface methods has been expanded. The task of connecting geoportals has been improved, the list of supported geoportals has been expanded.
    The program has improved algorithms for processing and displaying data. The number of supported sheets for multi-sheet maps has been increased by 4 times. The accuracy of transparency calculations for vector objects and a polygon object - colored glass - has been increased. The algorithms for interaction with the GIS Server have been improved, for example, the interaction mechanism when editing maps containing a small number of objects.
    The task of connecting geoportals has been improved. The new version has increased the speed of loading and displaying tiles. The GIS core automatically evaluates the computer parameters: the number of cores, the size of the RAM, the bandwidth of the data transmission channel. Taking into account the performance of the system, a pool of independent threads is formed to load, process and display the received data. Multi-threaded data loading reduces delays when moving the screen, scaling the map, and performing spatial queries to the geoportal. For example, for a network with a bandwidth of 100 Mbps on a 4-core processor with a clock frequency of 3.5 GHz, the speed of displaying tiles from the KB Panorama geoportal increased 6 times, and the time to receive them decreased from 500ms to 70ms.
    Access to geoportal archive data has been added. Examples of such geoportals are the Sentinel Hub geoportal or the VEGA service. The task allows you to connect to images or data on the geoportal by specifying the date, the request period, or the percentage of maximum cloudiness of satellite images. To quickly change the image from the geoportal, a new dialog has been added that allows you to set the parameters for accessing archived data (date, period, cloudiness); to set an offset or reference to a point if the geoportal has a lower accuracy than the map or data with which the geoportal is combined; to set transparency color - to view several layers at the same time; to set the color of the filter to change the color scheme of the geoportal.
    Data from geoportals can be saved into a pyramid of MBTILES tiles or into a raster for a territory selected by the user. In order to increase the speed of data access for the WMS protocol, caching of data in the form of tiles has been added. The data is saved in the form of a pyramid of tiles 1024Ρ…1024 in a folder of location of the geoportal cache. This change will allow the user to accumulate data locally and, in the absence of the Internet, use the already accumulated data cache. In order to update previously saved data, it is possible to set the lifetime of the geoportal cache in seconds.
    When connecting geoportals that are not included in the general list (wmslist_ru.xml file), connection data is saved in the general list in the "User connections" section. This will allow you to quickly connect the previously used geoportal. The list of "User connections" allows you to add data to it, and remove data from it. The mechanism for replacing the user settings file wmslist_ru.xml with a new one from the installation has been improved. A copying of previously connected user portals has been added when replacing the settings file. In the new version the possibility of connection of dynamically expanded list of available geoportals has been added. When such a geoportal is selected, a GetCapabilities request is sent to the service, and based on it, the list is automatically expanded with relevant data in the form of a tree of available layers. Support for a proxy server with domain authorization has been added.
    The list of available MAPAPI methods has been expanded. There are implemented the methods for constructing the intersection of multipolygons in the form of a multipolygon and creating a map's objects using coordinates from a text file.
    GIS Constructor is a set of geoinformation components for use in the visual programming environment of Qt Designer, which allows you to develop your own GIS applications. The visualization of the contents of digital maps is made in conventional symbols adopted for topographic, geographical and various special maps.

  • 04.10.2023 In the Complex of preparing documents of aeronautical information the tools for import and export of data from exchange format AIXM 5.1 have been improved
    In KB "Panorama" the Complex of preparing documents of aeronautical information version 8.2.3 under the control of the GIS "Panorama" has been developed. In the program the mode of export/import from a database of the complex of the information about the elements of the airspace structure into a file in the AIXM 5.1 format has been updated. Export is performed in accordance with the model of providing aeronautical information AIXM (Aeronautical Information eXtended Metadata). When forming an XML file, the upper and lower limits of the vertical extent of airspace, units of measurement and reference levels are indicated. Values of the XML-elements indicating the vertical coordinate system are formed from the list: "SFC" (distance measured from a surface of the ground), "MSL" (distance measured from the mean sea level), "W84" (distance from spheroid WGS84) or "STD" (distance measured using an altimeter set to standard atmosphere).
    In the "Output of prohibited, danger and restriction zones" and "Output of ATS regions" dialogs, the signature formation modes for the upper and lower limits of the heights of airspace elements have been expanded, taking into account repeating values and the range from ground to "unlimited" (GND/UNL). The option "Call signs in english" has been added, which allows you to fill in the "Call sign" semantics in Russian or English when creating an object.
    Aeronautical classifiers (dfc.rscz, dfc_en.rscz) have been improved in accordance with the requirements of the International Civil Aviation Organization, as set out in ICAO Doc 8697 ("Manual on Aeronautical Charts").
    The description of the vector sign has been expanded and the "Classifier editor" task in the GIS "Panorama" has been updated. There is added the ability to assign to several signatures the attribute of specifying of the sign size of vector objects of the layer "Type space ATS and a restricted zones" according to the length of the signature, as well as assigning the attribute of prohibition/permission of stretching to elements. This mode allows to expand some of the elements of a vector sign (for example, automatically stretch the sign frame around long signatures), and shift the remaining elements (design elements: circles, squares, rhombuses). The shifted elements can be located both inside and outside the sign frame.
    The complex of preparing documents of aeronautical information is a set of tools for maintaining an aeronautical data base, a modeling and analyzing the aeronautical situation, generating aeronautical maps and exchanging data with other information systems through export and import in the ARINC 424-19 exchange format and export in the AIXM 5.1 format. The task "Flight procedures design" is used to design the routes of departure, approach and landing and to analyze the safety of flights on them. The task "Assessment of compliance for aerodromes with the requirements FAR" is intended for the analysis of the aerodrome and the aerodrome environs for the suitability for operation and aircraft flights in accordance with the Federal Aviation Regulations.
    The new version of the program, examples of aeronautical information documents, operational documentation, video lessons and presentations are available for download on the Download page.

  • 03.10.2023 GIS "Operator" version 15 provides new tools of preparing special maps and terrain analysis
    In KB "Panorama" the GIS "Operator" version 15.0.1 has been developed. The new version updated the basic tasks of creating and updating digital terrain maps and special maps, connecting external geoservices, and managing a common list of data sets. The tasks of importing remote sensing data of various formats and terrain models have been improved, the tools of data analysis and reports designing have been expanded, expansion of tools at the expense of the user scripts on Python has been supported.
    The "Map Editor" task has been improved, the "Create objects" mode has been updated. Functionality for working with the object table filter has been extended. The filtration of classifier objects is carried out by such parameters as an external code, key, object name, class/layer name.
    For the best readership of the information on object the table kind is changed. In the first column display of a kind of object is added. At prompting on it of the mouse cursor there is an additional window with the increased image. In modes of creation of new objects possibility of a binding to the geometrical centre of the object chosen on a map is added. The new mode is realised in the form of the button on the auxiliary panel and point of the menu appearing by pressing of the right button of the mouse. For better readability of information about the object, the table view has been changed. Display of the object view has been added into the first column. When you hover over it with the mouse cursor, an additional window with an enlarged image appears. In modes of creating new objects, the possibility of a binding to the geometrical center of the object selected on the map has been added. The new mode is implemented in the form of the button on the auxiliary panel and a menu item appearing by pressing the right mouse button.
    The "Constructing a polygon at a given azimuth and distance" mode has been added into the "Graphic objects" group. The mode allows you quickly to put onto a map a polygon - a zone of the estimated search in the direction and distance indicated by the cursor from the control point with the possibility of changing the width and length of the search sector.
    The mode "Create a copy of object" has been improved: when the property Snapping an object to a node of another object ("K" mode) is enabled, a snapping a created copy of object or group of selected objects on each mouse click is provided. The new implementation of the mode allows you to put a copy of an object or group of selected objects to each mouse click. This method allows you to increase the speed of putting one-type objects.
    In the "Object samples" mode, the item "Clear object view" has been added into the menu by the right mouse button. There are increased the maximum number of objects samples (buttons) in the layout ruler up to 32 and the maximum number of rulers up to 12. Samples of created objects is a panel with buttons containing images of objects of the selected type or a group of objects with prepared semantics or graphic symbols outside the classifier. The use of pre-prepared samples speeds up the process of creating and updating vector terrain maps for various purposes.
    In the "Map Computer" task, the "Radial scale" mode has been added into the "Length and distance" mode group. On the background of the map, a scale of three rings is displayed, indicating the distance from the center of the screen on the ground. The distance between the rings is selected depending on the map display scale. The central ring is divided into 10-degree sectors, the cardinal direction are signed on it and the direction to the north is indicated.
    The task of connecting geoportals has been improved. Into the task the ability to work offline with a prepared copy of data from geoportals has been added. This mode allows you to work with the pyramid of tiles that the user has, without passing requests to the selected geoportals. Enabling this mode is possible in the settings menu for certain geoportals or for all geoportals. You can form a local pyramid of tiles in advance when the geoportal is connected, by clicking the menu item the File - Export to a tile pyramid. At the same time, in addition to the formed Mbtiles pyramid, the corresponding tiles will also be stored in the cache. Offline mode allows you to increase the speed and security of opening and displaying geoportals in the absence of a connection. In case of an error in establishing a connection with a geoportal over HTTPS protocol, an automatic re-request over HTTP protocol (and vice versa HTTPS after HTTP) has been added in case the geoportal is accessible over another protocol.
    The new version has increased the speed of loading and displaying tiles. The GIS core automatically evaluates the computer parameters: the number of cores, the size of the RAM, the bandwidth of the data transmission channel. Taking into account the performance of the system, a pool of independent threads is formed to load, process and display the received data. Multi-threaded data loading reduces delays when moving the screen, scaling the map, and performing spatial queries to the geoportal. For example, for a network with a bandwidth of 100 Mbps on a 4-core processor with a clock frequency of 3.5 GHz, the speed of displaying tiles from the KB Panorama geoportal increased 6 times, and the time to receive them decreased from 500ms to 70ms.
    Access to geoportal archive data has been added. Examples of such geoportals are the Sentinel Hub geoportal or the VEGA service. The task allows you to connect to images or data on the geoportal by specifying the date, the request period, or the percentage of maximum cloudiness of satellite images. To quickly change the image from the geoportal, a new dialog has been added that allows you to set the parameters for accessing archived data (date, period, cloudiness); to set an offset or reference to a point if the geoportal has a lower accuracy than the map or data with which the geoportal is combined; to set transparency color - to view several layers at the same time; to set the color of the filter to change the color scheme of the geoportal.
    Data from geoportals can be saved into a pyramid of MBTILES tiles or into a raster for a territory selected by the user. In order to increase the speed of data access for the WMS protocol, caching of data in the form of tiles has been added. The data is saved in the form of a pyramid of tiles 1024Ρ…1024 in a folder of location of the geoportal cache. This change will allow the user to accumulate data locally and, in the absence of the Internet, use the already accumulated data cache. In order to update previously saved data, it is possible to set the lifetime of the geoportal cache in seconds.
    When connecting geoportals that are not included in the general list (wmslist_ru.xml file), connection data is saved in the general list in the "User connections" section. This will allow you to quickly connect the previously used geoportal. The list of "User connections" allows you to add data to it, and remove data from it. The mechanism for replacing the user settings file wmslist_ru.xml with a new one from the installation has been improved. A copying of previously connected user portals has been added when replacing the settings file. In the new version the possibility of connection of dynamically expanded list of available geoportals has been added. When such a geoportal is selected, a GetCapabilities request is sent to the service, and based on it, the list is automatically expanded with relevant data in the form of a tree of available layers. Support for a proxy server with domain authorization has been added.
    The task "Map Legend" has been improved. The new tab "General list of data" has been added. This tab is designed to display a list of data in the sequence required by the user. The general list includes all types of data: maps, rasters, matrixes, models and geoportals which are included into the open document. To classify the type of data in the general list, the indication of elements in the form of pictograms is provided. Enabling and disabling the visibility of data is carried out by pressing the left mouse button (Left) in the display area of the "checkmark/cross" icon or the "spacebar" key. Names of data elements can be presented in the form of a full path or an abbreviated name. With the help of the modes "Above", "Below", moving of the selected data element onto one position is carried out. To change the order of displaying several elements of the list, the mode of transferring elements with the mouse (Drag&Drop) is available. Selection of list items is carried out using the key combinations Ctrl + Left, Shift + Left. To restore the standard display order by data type, you must use the "Set default order" mode. For processing all types of data, the following modes are provided: "Display", "Above map", "Visibility limits", "Go to ...", "Brightness/Contrast", "Add", "Add from directory", "Close". These modes are available in the context menu on the "General list of data" tab.
    On the "General data list" tab, the "Save as" item has been added into the context menu. This mode is intended for saving vector and raster data into a file with a different name. On the "Maps" tab, the items "All map in window" and "Set document options from map" have been added into the context menu. The "All map in window" mode allows you to scale the main document so that the selected map is completely displayed in the window. The "Set document options from map" mode is intended for setting the parameters of the projection of the selected map into the main document. On the "Maps", "Rasters", "Matrixes" and "Geoportals" tabs, the "Group data" item has been added into the context menu. This mode allows you to transfer selected data into a separate group. To quickly add data into the list, the "Insert" hotkey has been added, an analogue of the "Add map", "Add matrix", "Add raster", "Add geoportal" modes. Support has been implemented for dragging a file from the Explorer window into the "Map Legend" panel area (Drag&Drop) to add data of supported formats into the open document. When you drag data sets into the map window, they open in a separate window.
    A new mode "Find nearest neighbors for list objects" has been added into the "Lists of objects" task. For each object from one list, a search of the nearest object from another list is performed. A line is drawn between the nearest points of the found objects and the distance between the objects is indicated. Search results are recorded into a separate map, which is displayed on top of the main map.
    In the "Toolbars customizer" dialog, the ability to include python scripts into custom panels has been added. In the Tasks and scripts list, a Python scripts line has been added to select a script from the list, which must first be customized and checked in the Run applications dialog, "Scripts" tab. "Toolbars customizer" dialog allows you to create custom panels (toolbars) and fill them with frequently used modes from various application tasks and Python scripts. In the Run applications dialog, on the Scripts tab, a field has been added for entering a description of the script that will be displayed when the user clicks on the button in the "What's This?" mode. When writing scripts, several thousand functions of the GIS core (MAPAPI) are available. The function prototypes are declared as imported python scripts from the Users\Public\Documents\Panorama\py_mapapi14 folder. The order of application of MAPAPI functions, described in the document "Applied tasks". The procedure for applying MAPAPI functions described in the document "Applied tasks. Development of new modules", will also be valid for Python scripts.
    The task "Classifier editor" has been improved. Possibility of editing properties several objects at once has been added. Now you can select the necessary objects and transfer them to another layer or class, write down a common name for them, edit the visibility scales, add, delete, change the status of semantics, edit properties such as the digitization direction, the limits of sign resizing, and others. The following modes have been added into the "Clusters" tab: creating a new cluster's sign by copying the selected one, copying a cluster sign from another classifier via the clipboard. The cluster sign is used to display densely spaced point symbols of the same view of objects with a common sign. The tab selects the views of objects related to each type of cluster, the cell sizes vertically and horizontally, the semantics code for specifying the current number of objects in the cluster, the view of cluster symbol, the limiting percentage of increasing the size of the cluster symbol and the limiting number of objects corresponding to the maximum size of the symbol cluster. When copying a cluster's sign from one classifier to another, it is necessary to re-assign the views of objects related to this cluster.
    The description of the vector sign has been expanded. There is added the ability to assign to several signatures the attribute of specifying the size of the sign according to the length of the signature, as well as assigning the attribute of prohibiting/allowing stretching to elements. This allows you to expand some of the elements of a vector sign (for example, automatically stretch the sign frame around long signatures), and shift the remaining elements (design elements: circles, squares, rhombuses). The shifted elements can be located both inside and outside the sign frame. To assign a no-stretching attribute to an element, select an areal or linear element of the sign and click the "Do not stretch the element when specifying the size of the sign" button. Examples of new vector signs have been added into the shape.sitx map. To open the map, select from the main menu: File - Example data - Open file "..\Panorama15\data\shape\shape.sitx".
    The list of programmable signs on the demonstration map \data\shape\shape.sitx has been extended. There is added an example of a symbol - Coordinates of a point on a callout. In the conventional sign parameters, you can select a semantics code to display in the numerator of the callout line, up to 6 semantics codes to display values in the denominator in several lines, and a semantics code to display to the right of the callout line. If you enter the number "-1" as the semantics code, then the X coordinate of the first point of the callout line will be displayed with an accuracy of cm, if the number "-2" is the Y coordinate of the first point, if the number "-3" is the H coordinate of the first point. Font options can be specified for the numerator and denominator strings (equally) and for the string that appears to the right of the horizontal portion of the callout line (for example, point number or other semantics).
    The task "Data list" has been improved. On the "Rasters" tab, a call to the "Exporting rasters to format TIFF, JPEG, BMP, PCX" dialog is added, which is intended for exporting a rasters group of document to files of graphic formats. Due to the use of multi-threaded processing on a multi-core processor, the time for exporting a group of rasters was reduced by 5-7 times. The new dialog is called by the "Save as ..." item of the context menu for the "Rasters" branch.
    The "Import of raster data" task has been improved. The interface of the dialog for converting a group of rasters in multi-threaded mode has been changed. Image binding, projection parameters and coordinate systems are determined by the program using data from GeoTIFF, IMG files, from WORLD FILE, TAB (MapInfo), MAP (OziExplorer) binding files, and from PRJ projection parameter files. The "Import of raster data" dialog contains the ability to select the method and degree of compression of the output rasters". To speed up the display of rasters at various scales, a pyramid of overview images formed during conversion is used.
    The task "Loading coordinates from a text file" has been improved. The ability to select a semantic code for writing a point number into an object has been added into the dialog if the PT field is present in the string format. To save the height value, you can select the "Save H value" option in the "Absolute height" semantics. If the downloaded file contains semantic characteristics, text processing is carried out automatically in the encoding of the source file (UTF8 or ANSI 1251).
    The dialog "Current projection parameters" has been improved, which is designed to change the projection of displaying the maps opened in the window. The ability has been added to set projection parameters for any of the document maps and from map files. The projection parameters are set from the list of maps in the document, or by clicking the "From map" button. The latter method allows you to select projection parameters from a vector, raster, matrix map file or files of triangulation models or point clouds. The dialog is called through the main menu: Options - Current projection.
    The new version of the program is available for download on the Download page.

  • 02.10.2023 Digital classifier for creating schemes of territorial planning of the Russian Federation has been updated in accordance with the requirements of Order of the Ministry of Economic Development No. 620 dated 09/06/2023
    Specialists of KB "Panorama" have prepared a new edition of the digital classifier for creating schemes of territorial planning terrplan.v6.rscz. The digital classifier corresponds to requirements of the Order of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation dated September 6, 2023 No. 620, which came into force on October 1, 2023.
    Based on the requirements of the order, changes were made to 86 layers: "Surface water bodies", "Forest green belt", "Integrated development of territories", "Functional zones", "Zones of sanitary (mountain sanitary) protection districts", "Sanitary protection zone", "Fauna protection objects", "Hydraulic structures", "Liquid hydrocarbon pipelines" and others. A new layer "Territorial zones" has been added with a list of objects corresponding to it, objects with polygon localization have been added into the layer "Electrical substations". The external view of the symbols and the color palette used have been updated, and changes have been made to the conditional and mandatory attribute characteristics of objects.
    The digital classifier terrplan.v6.rscz is included in the GIS "Panorama" for mapping objects of federal, regional and local significance necessary for the preparation of territorial planning documents of the Russian Federation, constituent entities of the Russian Federation and municipalities. The updated classifier is available for download in "Classifiers" section.

  • 29.09.2023 Complex of forecasting emergency situations of natural and man-made character provides modelling the consequences of emergency situations and formation of reports for decision-making
    In KB "Panorama" the Complex of forecasting the consequences of emergency situations under the control of GIS "Panorama" and GIS "Operator" version 15 has been updated. The new version has expanded the set of models for performing automated modeling and assessing the potential consequences in the event of a natural and man-made emergency. New models have been added that make it possible to predict the development of such emergency situations as "Emergencies on oil pipelines", "Emergencies of floods and other river floods", "Emergencies of large-scale forest fires", in addition to the existing models: "Emergencies at a biologically hazardous facility", "Emergency at a radiation hazardous facility", "Emergency at a chemically hazardous facility", "Emergency at an explosive facility" and "Emergency at a hydraulic structure".
    The construction of models is carried out on the basis of regulatory documents and methods, taking into account current indicators of the conditions for the occurrence and development of emergencies, and terrain maps. When calculating the parameters of damaging factors, a zone of possible damage as a result of an emergency is constructed. The affected area is put onto the map of situation of the emergency area by symbols that comply with the requirements of the Ministry of Emergency Situations. When calculating, weather conditions are taken into account, which are entered by the operator at the time of calculation. For example, when modeling an emergency oil spill zone, the following indicators are taken into account: pipeline coordinates, coordinates of pumping station points and valves, pipeline characteristics, physical parameters of the transported oil product, and others.
    When modeling the consequences, it is possible to estimate the number of buildings, personnel, and population that were in the affected area. For a number of models, the parameters contain a large amount of data and in new calculations may differ slightly (for example, only the coordinates and/or wind direction have changed). To solve the problem of multiple input of the same parameters, the complex has a mode that allows you to save and load the parameters of the source data.
    The modelling results (image of the terrain together with the emergency model, calculation parameters, list of affected objects with their characteristics) can be saved not only for reuse, but also in the form of a formalized report in docx format.
    The emergency forecasting complex is a part of the GIS "Operator" and GIS "Panorama", new versions of the programs are always available for download in the Download section.

  • 28.09.2023 Geoinformation technology were presented for the first time at the international IT conference "STACHKA"
    The 10th anniversary International IT conference "STACHKA" has ended in Ulyanovsk. For the first time this year, a section of geographic information systems was presented at the event as part of the "Development" direction. The GIS section was opened by the report "Beyond geographic information systems. Simply about the complex" by Denis Vitsko, systems analyst and project manager at KB Panorama. KB "Panorama" has vast experience in the development of geoinformation systems for various purposes: GIS WebServer SE, Databank of Digital Maps and remote sensing data, GIS Server, GIS "Panorama" and others. The desktop and server solutions of the company are used in the Rosseti Geographic Information System, the Federal Spatial Data Fund (FSDF), the Spatial Data Fund of the Novosibirsk Region, the Regional GIS of the Ryazan Region (RGIS RO) and other projects.
    The conference featured more than 350 speakers in six areas: "Development", "Communications", "Management", "Content", "Training" and "Sales". More than 20 streams were organized, and "Stachka" was attended by more than three thousand participants. Many participants showed great interest in geographic information technologies.
    Stachka is one of the most widespread IT events of the year.

  • 27.09.2023 In "Workstation of cadastral engineer" the tools of formation of cadastral documents have been expanded
    In KB "Panorama" the "Workstation of cadastral engineer" version 15.0.1 has been developed. In the new version the modes in the "Cadastral documents" task have been improved.
    In dialog "Formation of a map-plan of the territory" when forming XML, a structured recording a file with splitting into separate lines has been implemented. This improves the readability of the XML document. A function has been added to automatically calculate the value of the determination error when filling out information about the area of a cadastral object. In the process of forming a text report, the selection of source data is automated when filling the name of the coordinate system. If an object does not have the necessary information, the program uses data from the options of the "Cadastral Documents" task. The rounding the value of the area to the whole meters has been added. When filling out the "Allowed use" attribute, a variable search for source data from different semantic characteristics has been implemented. Filling the section "Information about buildings, structures, objects of unfinished construction necessary to correct registry errors in the information about the description of their location" has been improved.
    The "Editing attributes of a cadastral object" dialog has been updated in terms of entering and editing location information. Duplicated elements on the "Basic information" tab are removed and new elements on the "Location" tab are added. New elements are designed for entering and editing geonyms of address objects in two versions: directory and text. Values from the directory are used to form the land survey plan version 6, and text values are used to form the technical plan and land survey plan version 9. The composition of semantics in classifiers the survey versions 5 and 6 have been updated.
    In the "Land survey plan" mode, when processing characteristic points of boundaries, the filling of a number of information has been corrected. The number and prefix of the point are taken from the semantics NAME_9 - Name, the traversal order corresponds to the number of metric point of the cadastral object. When filling out an XML document according to schema version 6, the formation of the SpecifyParcelApproximal element has been implemented for cadastral works to clarify plots with clarification of the boundaries and area of the adjacent land plot. If during the cadastral works, simultaneous clarifying a land plot and its adjacent plot has been made, in the program there is implemented a possibility of restart of forming an XML-file with changing the type of clarification: "Clarify the boundaries of the plot" or "Clarify the boundaries of adjacent plots". The order of searching for points of the same name has been corrected to fill in information about new and old coordinates. A faster point search algorithm has been implemented and errors in selecting points of adjacent cadastral objects have been eliminated. In the dialogs "Land Survey plan", "The project of land surveying" and "Map (plan) of land", an indication of the process of initial initialization of the dialogs with data is implemented. With a significant number of land plots, their contours and parts, a collecting of initial data can take several minutes. The indication function displays the name of the current process and the percentage of completion.
    In the "Save image for the graphic part of the report" mode, when saving an image in the EMF format, the presence of a raster in the display is analyzed and the EMF file is saved in vector format if there is no raster. This ensures that EMF files are created in small sizes if the user makes a mistake with the display type.
    The "Reading the cadastral plan of the territory and updating the map" dialog has been updated. When changing the value in the "Data processing mode" element, the composition of the data fields also changes. For the "Update an existing map" option, you can select the "Data processing mode" switch - skip/add/replace. For the "create a new XML map" option, you can select the classifier version. Data entry tools for documents and semantics groups have been updated.
    The new version of the program is available on the website in the Download section.

  • 22.09.2023 "Workstation of urban planner" forms urban planning documents using report forms customized by users
    In KB "Panorama" the "Workstation of urban planner" version 15.0.1 has been developed. In the new version for urban planning documents which do not have form established by authorised body, report creation by a template developed by the user is provided. In order to automate the document creation process, the use of a universal template is provided, which contains a descriptive part and named markers. Markers are placed in the document template in place for insertion of data on the processed object. Formation of the user report is made by means of special dialogue which can be called from the "Print" menu in the "Land plots" and "Accounting objects" registers.
    This mode can be used to draw up documents such as "Resolution on establishing an address", "Order on granting permission for a conditionally permitted type of use of a land plot", "Order on granting permission to deviate from the maximum parameters of permitted construction, reconstruction of objects of capital construction" and other reports, the appearance of which is not established by state regulations. The mode dialog includes universal attributes of the document, its text part and information necessary for registering the document in ISOGD. Some information is filled in automatically based on the type of document being formed . The other part is filled by the user in the dialog fields. After formation, the document is displayed in the office suite, where the user can enter the missing information.
    In the new version of the program, the list of reports, including "Urban planning plan of a land plot", "Construction permit", "Permit to put an object into operation" according to the developed forms of the Ministry of Construction and Housing and Communal Services of the Russian Federation, is supplemented by the creation of a document using user template. For the formed document an automatic creation of register record of the document and its registration in ISOGD has been added using a file generated in the modes of creating urban planning reports. Procedure of document formation is customizable. The user can change a template according to various regional, municipal and departmental requirements for a specific type of the document. For use of the user template it is necessary to establish conformity between the named markers in a template and tags for the report, specified in additional attributes of the account.
    The new version of the program adds auto-formation of a document account using the created file of its electronic copy with registration in ISOGD. The created file is saved in the database file storage and attached to the document account. At the same time, spatial and logical connections are established with the registers of the Complex and the digital map. "Save to disk" button has been added for files attached to registry accounts. It is designed to copy a file from the database file storage to a location specified by the user.
    The new version of the program is available for download in the Download section.

  • 20.09.2023 In GIS "Panorama" version 15 the tools of importing remote sensing data of various formats and terrain models have been supplemented
    In KB "Panorama" the GIS "Panorama" version 15.0.1 has been developed. In the new version, the tasks for importing remote sensing data of various formats and terrain models have been updated, the tools of data analysis and design of digital vector maps have been expanded.
    The program of import of point clouds of LAS format into MTD-model has been improved. The new version of the program eliminates the formation of the raster part of the MTD model, which significantly speeds up the import process. When forming blocks of points, points are grouped into several levels corresponding to different degrees of rarefaction. This storage method speeds up the display: when the image is reduced, the points of the most sparse level are displayed, and when the image is enlarged, the points of more detailed levels are displayed. The MTD model can be built using laser scanning, remote sensing, echolocation data, as well as the results of point measurements obtained using special complexes and stereo devices. Using the ready MTD model, you can form a regular matrix with a given element size. The MTD model is a digital irregular point model. MTD model point records can contain three-dimensional spatial coordinates, as well as color, if color is present in the source data point records.
    The "Import of raster data" task has been improved. The interface of the dialog for converting a group of rasters in multi-threaded mode has been changed. Files of a binding located in a folder of source raster and corresponding to a name of the loaded file, are automatically applied at raster loading. Image binding, projection parameters and coordinate systems are determined by the program using data from GeoTIFF, IMG files, from WORLD FILE, TAB (MapInfo), MAP (OziExplorer) binding files, and from PRJ projection parameter files. The "Import of raster data" dialog contains the ability to select the method and degree of compression of the output rasters. Also in dialog there is a possibility of forming the rasters of direct access to the image of graphic files. After successfully converting a group of rasters, an MPT project is created with a list of formed files, which is automatically added into the document or opened in a separate window. If the projection parameters of the rasters added into the document do not match with its coordinate system, the image conversion is performed "on the fly". To speed up the display of rasters at various scales, a pyramid of overview images formed during conversion is used.
    The task "Import SHP-files" has been improved. There is added the ability to select a map from among the open ones in the document to update with data from the SHP format. This allows you to update not only local data sets, but also maps from the GIS Server and spatial databases. The map is updated provided that the data appending mode is enabled and the map is available for editing.
    The task "Loading coordinates from a text file" has been improved. The ability to select a semantic code for writing a point number into an object has been added into the dialog if the PT field is present in the string format. To save the height value, you can select the "Save H value" option in the "Absolute height" semantics. If the downloaded file contains semantic characteristics, text processing is carried out automatically in the encoding of the source file (UTF8 or ANSI 1251).
    The "Map Legend" task has been improved. On the "General data list" tab, the "Save as" item has been added into the context menu. This mode is intended for saving vector and raster data into a file with a different name. On the "Maps" tab, the items "All map in window" and "Set document options from map" have been added into the context menu. The "All map in window" mode allows you to scale the main document so that the selected map is completely displayed in the window. The "Set document options from map" mode is intended for setting the parameters of the projection of the selected map into the main document. On the "Maps", "Rasters", "Matrixes" and "Geoportals" tabs, the "Group data" item has been added to the context menu. This mode allows you to transfer selected data into a separate group. To quickly add data into the list, the "Insert" hotkey has been added, an analogue of the "Add map", "Add matrix", "Add raster", "Add geoportal" modes. Support has been implemented for dragging a file from the Explorer window into the "Map Legend" panel area (Drag&Drop) to add data of supported formats into the open document. When you drag data sets into the map window, they open in a separate window.
    A new mode "Find nearest neighbors for list objects" has been added into the "Lists of objects" task. For each object from one list, a search of the nearest object from another list is performed. A line is drawn between the nearest points of the found objects and the distance between the objects is indicated. Search results are recorded into a separate map, which is displayed on top of the main map.
    The "Map Editor" task has been improved. "Building a polygon by a given azimuth and distance" mode has been added into the "Measurements" group. The mode allows you quickly to put onto a map a polygon - a zone of the estimated search in the direction and distance indicated by the cursor from the control point with the possibility of changing the width and length of the search sector.
    The dialog "Current projection parameters" has been improved, which is designed to change the projection of displaying the maps opened in the window. The ability has been added to set projection parameters for any of the document maps and from map files. The projection parameters are set from the list of maps in the document, or by clicking the "From map" button. The latter method allows you to select projection parameters from a vector, raster, matrix map file or files of triangulation models or point clouds. The dialog is called through the main menu: Options - Current projection.
    Object selection dialog has been improved. Processing of "hot" keys for the "Next" (Ctrl + ">") and "Back" (Ctrl + "<") buttons has been added. In the "Semantics" tab, when entering and editing text semantics in the table, the semantics are saved and the dialog is automatically closed when pressing the Ctrl + Enter keys. The "Number of semantics" field has been added under the table. "Assign semantics possible" item into the table context menu has been added. This item is available when you select inadmissible semantics in the table. In the table, inadmissible semantics are displayed in gray. When you select the "Assign semantics possible" item, this semantics is added into the list of possible semantics of the current type of object in the classifier. To execute, you must first assign write access to the classifier (rsc file). Into the "Metrics" tab, saving and restoring the expanded view of the objects scheme has been added, and the ergonomics of the explanatory inscriptions of profile heights for objects containing 3D metrics has been improved. The functionality of the "All object in window" button has been expanded. If the main contour (0) was selected before clicking the "All object in window" button, the map is scaled so that the selected object occupies the maximum area of the window. If any other contour was selected, then the map is scaled according to the dimensions of the selected contour (subobject).
    The description of the vector sign has been expanded and the "Classifier Editor" task has been improved. There is added the ability to assign to several signatures the attribute of specifying the size of the sign according to the length of the signature, as well as assigning the attribute of prohibiting/allowing stretching to elements. This allows you to expand some of the elements of a vector sign (for example, automatically stretch the sign frame around long signatures), and shift the remaining elements (design elements: circles, squares, rhombuses). The shifted elements can be located both inside and outside the sign frame. To assign a no-stretching attribute to an element, select an areal or linear element of the sign and click the "Do not stretch the element when specifying the size of the sign" button. Examples of new vector signs have been added into the shape.sitx map. To open the map, select from the main menu: File - Example data - Open file "..\Panorama15\data\shape\shape.sitx".
    The task "Classifier processing - Translating textual names into other language" has been improved. This task can be performed as an applied task of the GIS "Panorama" and as the "Translation" mode on the "General" tab of the "Classifier Editor" task. In the new version, the active map classifier or the current one being processed is automatically offered for translation, but you can choose any other. Translation of names is carried out according to a specified dictionary - a file in CSV or TXT format. If the dictionary has a name that matches the name of the classifier being processed, it will open automatically. To form a new dictionary, you can "Download from the classificator" all names. The new version adds processing of object class names.
    The task "Cadastral documents" has been improved. In the "Formation of a map (plan) of the territory" mode, when forming a paper report, the name of the coordinate system, if the semantics "Coordinate system" is empty, is taken from the settings of the "Cadastral documents" panel. The areas in the report are rounded to whole meters. The value of the "Allowed use by document" semantics is recorded into the report regardless of whether any other semantics are filled in. The "Reading the cadastral plan of the territory and updating the map" dialog has been updated. For the "create a new map XML" option, you can select the classifier version. Data entry tools for documents and semantics groups have been updated. When forming an XML file, automatic calculation of the error value of determining the area is implemented when filling in the Area - Inaccuracy element. A structured recording of an XML file with splitting into separate lines has been implemented, which improves the readability of an XML document.
    In the "Land Survey plan version 6" mode, the formation of the SpecifyParcelApproximal - Approximal element has been implemented for cadastral work to clarify plots with clarification of the boundaries and area of the adjacent land plot. When simultaneously clarifying a land plot and its adjacent plot, it is possible to restart the formation of an XML file with changing the type of clarification: "Clarify the boundaries of the plot" or "Clarify the boundaries of adjacent plots". The "Editing attributes of a cadastral object" dialog has been updated in terms of entering and editing location information. New elements are designed for entering and editing geonyms of address objects in two versions: directory and text. Values from the directory are used to form the land survey plan version 6, and text values are used to form the technical plan and land survey plan version 9. The composition of semantics in classifiers the survey version 5 and 6 has been updated.
    The new version of the program is available for download on the Download page.

  • 18.09.2023 Map of the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug on the geoportal "Bank of spatial data" has been updated
    Specialists of KB "Panorama" have prepared and placed the map of the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug on the geoportal "Bank of spatial data". The map was formed using OpenStreetMap data. To work with the map, you can use the GIS Panorama Mini program or other software products of KB "Panorama".
    The map was led to the modernised classifier of large-scale plans of scale 1: 5 000 (map5000m) and was saved into a packed project (MPTZ). The MPTZ format project includes a digital map of the region's territory (country, subject of the federation, administrative region) and a digital classifier. Publishing of updates in bank of spatial data is made by using the program of Databank of digital maps and remote sensing data. Publishing contents of bank of spatial data on the geoportal and data access for downloading are implemented by means of GIS WebServer SE.
    Free maps on the basis of OpenStreetMap data are available for download on the page "Digital maps".

  • 15.09.2023 Training video on loading data of Shape format into internal format of the GIS "Panorama" has been prepared
    Specialists of KB "Panorama" have prepared a video lesson of working the task "Import of Shape-files". The considered task is available for starting in the GIS "Panorama", "Workstation of cadastral engineer", "Workstation of agronomist" and other software products of KB "Panorama".
    The video lesson demonstrates the types of data loading. When importing, the input data are loaded using the settings for the code composition of objects and semantic characteristics according to the map resource classifier, which is located in the "Parameters" tab. Possibility of displaying contents of a database table for a current set is shown. By means of the analysis of the table contents it is possible to estimate correctness of a choice of table encoding and to establish conformity of a table field and semantics from the classifier.
    When loading data, you can use the "Primary classification". Primary classification tools are designed to evaluate the contents of unknown sets of input data in order to select the optimal classifier and configure it to import data. In this case, you can create a new classifier with an arbitrary name, perform classification and load data. Then, by visually viewing the loaded map, you can determine the optimal one from existing classifiers and configure the correspondence, or automatically assign the correct names to the added characteristics, and the corresponding image to the objects.
    You can view the training materials in the "Video lessons" section.

  • 13.09.2023 Bank of spatial data has been supplemented with a map of the Algerian People's Democratic Republic
    Geoportal "Bank of spatial data" has been supplemented with a map of the Algerian People's Democratic Republic, formed according to OpenStreetMap data. To work with the map, you can use the GIS Panorama Mini program or other software products of KB "Panorama".
    The map was led to the modernised classifier of large-scale plans of scale 1: 5 000 (map5000m). Publishing of updates in bank of spatial data is made by using the program of Databank of digital maps and remote sensing data. Publishing contents of bank of spatial data on the geoportal and data access for downloading are implemented by means of GIS WebServer SE.
    Free maps on the basis of OpenStreetMap data are available for download on the page "Digital maps".

  • 11.09.2023 In "Panorama-editor"version 15 the tools of creating and updating digital maps have been improved
    In KB "Panorama" the professional vectorizer "Panorama-editor" version 15.0 has been developed. The program has updated tools for preparing terrain maps, connecting external geoservices, managing the general list of data sets when displaying, editing digital classifiers and setting up conventional symbols. Possibilities of creation of the custom panels at the expense of including Python scripts have been expanded.
    Updating "Panorama-editor" version 14 is free of charge if there is a valid technical support by downloading and installing a new version.
    The "Map Editor" has been improved, the task "Expanding line object" has been updated. The new implementation of the mode allows you to perform additional digitization of multi-contour linear objects. When you select such an object, the nearest end or start point of one of the contours is determined. The contour selection is done automatically. Next, the user puts the necessary points to continue the contour.
    Digitizing a linear object is similar to creating a new linear object. In this case, all auxiliary modes of creation are available: closing the contour; deleting the last point of the contour; snapping a point to a point or segment of another object; snapping a point to a virtual grid with a given step; copying a contour fragment of another object; creation of horizontal and vertical segments; creation of segments with a rotation of 90 degrees and others.
    The mode "Create a copy of object" has been improved: when the property Snapping an object to a node of another object ("K" mode) is enabled, a snapping a created copy of object or group of selected objects on each mouse click is provided.
    The task "Create objects" has been improved. Functionality for working with the object table filter has been extended. Classifier objects are filtered by such parameters as external code, key, object name, class/layer name. By default, the filtering mode is active. When you click in the filter value field, classifier objects are automatically selected according to the current value of the selected field. Elements have been added to display information about the current object, which allows you to copy the data about the object. Ability has been added to sort the contents of the table of objects in alphabetical order in ascending order by code, key or object name by pressing the left mouse button in the column header. The selected sorting mode is saved to the ini-file and restored during the next session. For better readability of information about the object, the table view has been changed. Display of the object view has been added into the first column. When you hover over it with the mouse cursor, an additional window with an enlarged image appears.
    In the "Change of object type" mode for recoding areal objects into vector objects, the ability to build a new metric using a larger segment of the initial object has been added. This mode can be used, for example, for generalisation of the areal structures which are not expressed on the map scale. Into group of modes of "Measurement" the mode "Radial scale" has been added. On the background of the map, a scale of three rings is displayed, indicating the distance from the center of the screen on the ground. The distance between the rings is selected depending on the map display scale. The central ring is divided into 10-degree sectors, the cardinal direction are signed on it and the direction to the north is indicated. Into the "Autoshapes" group, the mode "Corner rounding" mode has been added. Editing can be performed in single mode (an object selected on the map) or group mode (a group of objects previously selected on the map or a logical set of objects). When working in group mode, all selected objects are automatically processed (after selecting the type of object to be created and entering the value of a rounding radius). When working in single mode, the rounding radius is determined by moving the mouse pointer. At processing of rotary corners of object, the possibility of rounding with a given radius is evaluated. If the sharpness of the corner does not allow construction with a given radius, the construction is performed along the maximum possible radius.
    The task of connecting geoportals has been improved. The new version has increased the speed of loading and displaying tiles. The GIS core automatically evaluates the computer parameters: the number of cores, the size of the RAM, the bandwidth of the data transmission channel. Taking into account the performance of the system, a pool of independent threads is formed to load, process and display the received data. Multi-threaded data loading reduces delays when moving the screen, scaling the map, and performing spatial queries to the geoportal. For example, for a network with a bandwidth of 100 Mbps on a 4-core processor with a clock frequency of 3.5 GHz, the speed of displaying tiles from the KB Panorama geoportal increased 6 times, and the time to receive them decreased from 500ms to 70ms.
    Access to geoportal archive data has been added. Examples of such geoportals are the Sentinel Hub geoportal or the VEGA service. The task allows you to connect to images or data on the geoportal by specifying the date, the request period, or the percentage of maximum cloudiness of satellite images. To quickly change the image from the geoportal, a new dialog has been added that allows you to set the parameters for accessing archived data (date, period, cloudiness); to set an offset or reference to a point if the geoportal has a lower accuracy than the map or data with which the geoportal is combined; to set transparency color - to view several layers at the same time; to set the color of the filter to change the color scheme of the geoportal.
    Data from geoportals can be saved into a pyramid of MBTILES tiles or into a raster for a territory selected by the user. In order to increase the speed of data access for the WMS protocol, caching of data in the form of tiles has been added. The data is saved in the form of a pyramid of tiles 1024Ρ…1024 in a folder of location of the geoportal cache. This change will allow the user to accumulate data locally and, in the absence of the Internet, use the already accumulated data cache. In order to update previously saved data, it is possible to set the lifetime of the geoportal cache in seconds.
    When connecting geoportals that are not included in the general list (wmslist_ru.xml file), connection data is saved in the general list in the "User connections" section. This will allow you to quickly connect the previously used geoportal. The list of "User connections" allows you to add data to it, and remove data from it. The mechanism for replacing the user settings file wmslist_ru.xml with a new one from the installation has been improved. A copying of previously connected user portals has been added when replacing the settings file. In the new version the possibility of connection of dynamically expanded list of available geoportals has been added. When such a geoportal is selected, a GetCapabilities request is sent to the service, and based on it, the list is automatically expanded with relevant data in the form of a tree of available layers. Support for a proxy server with domain authorization has been added.
    In the "Toolbars customizer" dialog, the ability to include python scripts into custom panels has been added. In the Tasks and scripts list, a Python scripts line has been added to select a script from the list, which must first be customized and checked in the Run applications dialog, "Scripts" tab. "Toolbars customizer" dialog allows you to create custom panels (toolbars) and fill them with frequently used modes from various application tasks and Python scripts. In the Run applications dialog, on the Scripts tab, a field has been added for entering a description of the script that will be displayed when the user clicks on the button in the "What's This?" mode. When writing scripts, several thousand functions of the GIS core (MAPAPI) are available. The function prototypes are declared as imported python scripts from the Users\Public\Documents\Panorama\py_mapapi14 folder. The order of application of MAPAPI functions, described in the document "Applied tasks". The procedure for applying MAPAPI functions described in the document "Applied tasks. Development of new modules", will also be valid for Python scripts.
    The task "Map Legend" has been improved. The new tab "General list of data" has been added. This tab is designed to display a list of data in the sequence required by the user. The general list includes all types of data: maps, rasters, matrixes, models and geoportals which are included into the open document. To classify the type of data in the general list, the indication of elements in the form of pictograms is provided. Enabling and disabling the visibility of data is carried out by pressing the left mouse button (Left) in the display area of the "checkmark/cross" icon or the "spacebar" key. Names of data elements can be presented in the form of a full path or an abbreviated name. With the help of the modes "Above", "Below", moving of the selected data element onto one position is carried out. To change the order of displaying several elements of the list, the mode of transferring elements with the mouse (Drag&Drop) is available. Selection of list items is carried out using the key combinations Ctrl + Left, Shift + Left. To restore the standard display order by data type, you must use the "Set default order" mode. For processing all types of data, the following modes are provided: "Display", "Above map", "Visibility limits", "Go to ...", "Brightness/Contrast", "Add", "Add from directory", "Close". These modes are available in the context menu on the "General list of data" tab.
    The task "Classifier editor" has been improved. Possibility of editing properties several objects at once has been added. Now you can select the necessary objects and transfer them to another layer or class, write down a common name for them, edit the visibility scales, add, delete, change the status of semantics, edit properties such as the digitization direction, the limits of sign resizing, and others. To do this, on the "Objects" tab, select the required objects in the table of classifier objects. If the table of objects displays only types of signs of objects, then you can select the current object by simultaneously pressing Ctrl+Left (left mouse button). If the table of objects is presented in string form, then the objects are selected by checking the box in the leftmost column of the table. Next, press the "Properties of selected objects" button and switch to the mode of general editing of all selected objects. Only the selected ones remain in the object table. In this mode, as well as without it, the properties of the currently selected object are displayed. But when editing any property, it is edited for all selected objects. If some property is highlighted with a yellow background or "others" is written on it, this means that it is different for the selected objects. Properties that cannot be edited at once for all selected objects are closed from editing. When you save, the edited properties are saved for all selected objects. You can exit the edit mode by pressing the "Properties of selected objects" button. You can reset the selected objects or select all currently filtered objects by clicking the "Reset selected objects" button. 2D and 3D views of objects do not have common editing for selected objects.
    The task "Correction of metric of objects", included into the group of tasks "Check and correction of data", has been improved. The "Interpolate 3D coordinate of points" mode has been added into the "Others" mode group. The mode is intended for processing linear and areal objects, in which not all metric points have a 3d coordinate. The heights for such points are calculated from the spline using the heights of other points of the object metric.
    The list of programmable signs on the demonstration map \data\shape\shape.sitx has been extended. There is added an example of a symbol - Coordinates of a point on a callout. In the conventional sign parameters, you can select a semantics code to display in the numerator of the callout line, up to 6 semantics codes to display values in the denominator in several lines, and a semantics code to display to the right of the callout line. If you enter the number "-1" as the semantics code, then the X coordinate of the first point of the callout line will be displayed with an accuracy of cm, if the number "-2" is the Y coordinate of the first point, if the number "-3" is the H coordinate of the first point. Font options can be specified for the numerator and denominator strings (equally) and for the string that appears to the right of the horizontal portion of the callout line (for example, point number or other semantics).
    The new version of the program is available for download on the Download page.

  • 06.09.2023 Training video material on loading data of DXF format into the internal format of the GIS "Panorama" has been prepared
    Specialists of KB "Panorama" have prepared a video lesson on working the task "Import data from DXF format". The mode is intended for loading DXF files from the ACAD system, the task is available for running in the GIS "Panorama", Workstation of "Cadastral engineer", Workstation of "Agronomist" and other software products of KB "Panorama".
    The video lesson demonstrates the types of data loading. When importing data, the download is performed while preserving the graphical view of the objects. In this case, map objects have a zero classification code and a graphic description by ACAD primitives: color and, if possible, line type.
    There is considered a possibility of loading by the classifier of a map resources with objects recoding, which allows to generate "Settings Table", conformity of keys of the map classifier and DXF layers. To fill out the settings table, you must compare the keys of the classifier objects and DXF layers. The table data is used to recode objects in accordance with the map classifier.
    When loaded from database tables, a map object is assigned a classification code, the character of localization and characteristics (semantics) contained in the associated database table record. This makes it possible to describe an object using a map classifier. Data can be loaded into a new map or added to an existing one.

  • 29.08.2023 "Workstation of cadastral engineer" supports the maintenance of the engineering communications plan
    In KB "Panorama" the "Workstation of cadastral engineer" version 15.0 has been developed. In the new version of the program the group of modes "Earth and Underground Communication Plan" has been developed. In work of new modes the classifier urban.v2.rsc is used created according to requirements of the order of the MINISTRY OF CONSTRUCTION AND HOUSING AND UTILITIES OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION No. 433/pr dated August 6, 2020 "On approval of technical requirements for maintaining registers of state information systems for urban planning, methods for assigning registration numbers to information, documents, materials placed in state information systems for ensuring urban planning activities, directories and classifiers necessary for processing the specified information, documents, materials, formats for providing information, documents, materials contained in state information systems for ensuring urban planning activities".
    To maintain an engineering communications plan, modes are used that implement the technology for creating, updating and transferring information about objects and communication networks to the state ISOGD. The mode "Copy to another map" is intended for transferring point, line and areal structures from a cadastral map onto a map created using the urban.v2.rsc classifier. When transferring objects, it is envisaged to change the code of the cadastral object onto the codes of engineering communications objects. The mode "Control communication objects attributes" ensures checking and correcting the semantics of objects-communications after they have been transferred onto the engineering communications plan, removing redundant semantics and changing the codes of the necessary semantics. The mode "Apply communication objects" calls the panel "Layouts" with the customized set of buttons for drawing objects-communications on the plan. The program uses a pre-prepared layout corresponding to the objects of the urban.v2.rsc classifier. The mode "Export to GML" ensures the unloading of the engineering communications plan into GML format with a view to its subsequent transfer for inclusion into the corresponding GISOGD registry. Unloading is carried out in accordance with the requirements of the order of the Ministry of Construction No. 433/pr dated August 6, 2020.
    In the mode "Formation of a map-plan of the territory", the formation of a text report using the OpenXML technology has been added with the recording of the results into a DOCX file. The form of the report complies with the requirements of the order of Federal Agency of the state registration and cadastre dated August, 4th, 2021 N P/0337 "On establishing the form of a map-plan of the territory, the form of the act of coordinating the location of the boundaries of land plots when performing complex cadastral works and the requirements for their preparation."
    The mode "Sign object turning points" has been improved. The ability to specify a postfix of points has been added, which ensures the formation of signatures of characteristic points of the boundaries of cadastral objects in accordance with the Order of Rosreestr No. P/0337 from 08/04/21. Obsolete elements have been removed in the dialog and a new field "Value SKP (Mt)" has been added. The value entered at this position is automatically inserted into the semantics of point objects. In all modes of formation of cadastral documents, the algorithm for filling in the SCP of characteristic points has been changed. For new characteristic points, in the absence of a value in the MT semantics, a value is inserted from the settings of the "Cadastral documents" module.
    The mode "Base of cadastral works" has been improved. Fields "Type of network" and "Coordinate system" have been added into the table of points of the geodetic network, which were not enough to fill in the corresponding tables in the land survey and technical plans. Filling and editing these fields has been added into the dialog of geodetic points editing, a field displaying the coordinate system has been added into the tables with lists of geodetic points. To obtain information about geodetic points, the dialogs "Land Survey plan", "Technical plan", "Map-plan of the territory" have been improved, the selection of a geodetic network point from the catalog (CSV file format) has been replaced with a dialog with a list of geopoints from the database of cadastral works. Multiple selection of several survey points is supported.
    In mode "Editing the semantics of object of cadastral works", the algorithm for saving information for a multicontour object into the semantics of the main object of the set has been improved. Geonyms of address elements are maintained in two versions: in the form of a simple text and in the form of value from a directory. Values from a directory are used for support of formation of the XML-document of the land survey plan of version 6.
    "Sign the shortest distance to selected objects" mode has been improved, the ability has been added to select not only a linear, but also a point and areal object as a source object. This feature implements the functions of the "Range calculator", with drawing lines of soundings (ranges) and signatures of the line length onto the map.
    The dialog "Search by cadastral number or address" has been improved. The element of selecting the search source has been changed, three sources have been made: a map, EGRN information and Yandex. The checkbox next to the "Find" button has been removed, its functions have been moved to the "Search source" element. If search operations do not have access to the necessary external resources (sites), a pop-up message is displayed with recording into the message log. There are added pop-up diagnostic messages: "API key for searching on an external resource is not filled", "Search string is not filled".
    To support work with 3D metrics of objects obtained as a result of surveying terrain from unmanned aerial vehicles by point cloud, in the "Calculation of missing heights of points of a line" mode, the height interpolation algorithm has been changed. Height values of intermediate points (whose metrics are not copied from cloud points) are calculated using the spline interpolation method. There are two options for calling the mode: for one selected object or for a group of selected objects.
    The task of connecting geoportals has been improved. The speed of loading and displaying tiles has been increased due to the automatic evaluation of computer parameters and the formation of a pool of independent threads for loading, processing and displaying the received data. So for a network with a bandwidth of 100 Mbps on a 4-core processor with a clock frequency of 3.5 GHz, the speed of displaying tiles from the KB Panorama geoportal has increased in 6 times, and the time to receive them has decreased from 500 ms to 70 ms. In order to increase the speed of data access for the WMS protocol, caching of data in the form of tiles has been added. The data is saved as a pyramid of 1024x1024 tiles in the geoportal cache location folder. This change will allow the user to accumulate data locally and, in the absence of the Internet, use the already accumulated data cache. In order to update previously saved data, it is possible to set the lifetime of the geoportal cache in seconds. Support for a proxy server with domain authorization has been added.
    In the "Map Editor" task, the functionality for working with the filter of the table of objects during their creation has been expanded. Filtration of the classifier objects is carried out by such parameters as external code, key, object name, class/layer name. In the "Map Legend" task, a new tab "General list of data" has been added, designed to display a list of data in the sequence necessary for the user. The general list includes all types of data: maps, rasters, matrixes, models and geoportals which are included in the open document. In the "Classifier editor" task, the ability to edit the properties of several objects at once has been added. Now you can select the necessary objects and transfer them to another layer or class, write down a common name for them, edit the visibility scales, add, delete, change the status of semantics, edit properties such as the digitization direction, the limits of sign resizing, and others.
    The new version of the program is available on the website in the Download section.

  • 26.08.2023 In mobile GIS "Panorama Mobile" for domestic Aurora OS the tools of analyzing terrain maps have been expanded
    In KB "Panorama" the GIS "Panorama Mobile" version 1.3 for Aurora OS has been developed. The new version adds a ring scale ruler, implements the ability to quickly save user points, set the format for displaying coordinates and navigate to the entered coordinates. Support of password-protected data and fast change of visibility of the displayed data has been added.
    In the program a possibility of display of a ring ruler has been implemented. The ring ruler allows to visually estimate distances between objects of a map. On the background of the map, a scale of three rings is displayed, indicating the distance from the center of the screen on the ground. The distance between the rings is dynamically selected depending on the map display scale. For ease of orientation, the central ring is divided into 10-degree sectors, the cardinal points are signed on it and the direction to the north is indicated.
    For possibility of fast creation of marks on the map the task "Navigator" has been implemented. This task allows you to save your location on the map and to carry out transition by earlier saved points. When specifying a point, the user can add a text comment and set the color of the point. The task was implemented by means of the user map the GIS "Panorama". At the expense of it the map with the saved points can be transferred to desktop products (GIS "Panorama", "Panorama-editor", GIS Panorama Mini) and to be used as the initial data for further analysis by means of a wide range of applied tasks.
    For precise positioning of the center of the screen, the "Go to point" mode has been added. The user can get the coordinates of a place from a third-party source and enter them in the dialog box for going to the map location of interest. The mode supports change of a format of entered coordinates and dynamically recalculates the specified coordinates at format change.
    Support for encrypted user maps has been added. When opening protected data, the application will prompt you to enter a password to access this data. For example, this mode can be used when restricting access to the data of the "Navigator" task containing information about saved points.
    The new version supports fast change of data visibility for possibility of the joint analysis of maps and and terrain images. This functionality allows you to dynamically disable the display of vector data used in conjunction with a raster background or geoportals. For the convenience of analyzing the map of the area, the ability to disable the mode of displaying information about objects at a specified point using the application settings has been added.
    GIS "Panorama Mobile" allows you to open and edit the main formats of digital maps of GIS "Panorama" and popular geoportals on mobile devices based on the Aurora OS, to process information from the built-in GPS/GLONASS receiver. The user can prepare in advance a necessary set of spatial data in one of desktop products (GIS "Panorama", Panorama-editor, GIS Panorama Mini) and to transfer it into the mobile GIS "Panorama Mobile". The process of working with data is carried out autonomously, without connecting to the Internet. When the user moves, his current position is dynamically displayed according to the coordinates obtained from the GPS/GLONASS receiver. For ease of use, it is possible to synchronize the position of the map with the current location. To save the coordinates obtained during movement, a track recording mode is provided, which creates a separate map and puts the trajectory of movement onto it. For all objects of a map during the work the basic information is provided . The program is developed on the basis of the GIS Constructor toolkit, which provides components for creating mobile applications for working with digital maps in the C++ programming language using the Qt.

  • 24.08.2023 "Workstation of urban planner" forms the urban planning plan of the land plot in accordance with the order of the Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation dated 17.02.2023 No. 104/pr
    In KB "Panorama" the "Workstation of urban planner" version 15.0 has been developed. The program implements the formation of the document "Urban-planning plan of a land plot" in accordance with the requirements of the order of the Ministry of Construction and Housing and Communal Services of the Russian Federation dated April 25, 2017 No. 741/pr "On approval of the form of an urban development plan for a land plot and the procedure for filling it out", taking into account the latest changes and additions of editions of the Orders of the Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation of February 27, 2020 No. 94/pr, of February 18, 2021 No. 72/pr, of September 2, 2021 No. 635/pr, of February 17, 2023 No. 104/pr.
    In order to automate the process of creating an urban-planning plan, a procedure has been developed for generating a reporting document based on pre-prepared templates. The urban-planning plan consists of text and graphic parts.
    To fill in the text part of the report, information stored in the database is used, as well as the metrics and semantics of map objects that characterize urban conditions: the boundaries of the land plot, existing capital construction objects, the zone of permitted construction, the boundaries of the zone of permissible location of the object, zones with special conditions for the use of the territory , red lines, servitudes. All necessary objects are included into survey.rsc classifier. To fill in the graphic part (plot drawing), pre-prepared graphic files are used.
    When preparing data, the user needs to map the objects of urban planning and fill in the identification semantics. Next, create in the database the accounts in the registers of land plots and objects of capital construction and establish spatial and logical links between the records in the database and the objects of the electronic map.
    To generate a document, a specialized dialog has been developed that can be called on the reports panel or in the register of land plots. Part of the information is filled in automatically according to the information from the database and according to the semantics of the map objects. The other part is filled in the form of a dialog and stored in the database for further use. Information that is not reflected in the dialog is included in the printed form of the document. After formation the urban plan is displayed in the office suite, where the user can fill in the missing information.
    The form of the document is created on the basis of prepared templates of the dot format. Templates contain a descriptive part and named markers that tell the program where to insert data. The document generation procedure is customizable. The user can modify the template to suit different regional and departmental requirements. Between attributes of a land plot and markers in the template the interrelation is set which is customized in the directory "Directory of additional attributes of a land plot". To exchange data with a digital map in the same directory any semantic characteristic of object can be assigned to each attribute according to the survey.rsc classifier.
    The generated urban plan can be saved on disk in doc, docx, pdf formats. If necessary, an electronic copy of the document is loaded into the database file storage. In this case, the document file is attached to the list of files of the land plot.
    By means of the "Update of semantics on a map" mode, it is possible to load the attributive information of the urban plan into the digital map's object. A necessary condition for updating the semantics is the existence of a link between recording the plot in the database and the object on the map.
    The new version of the program is available for download in the Download section.

  • 22.08.2023 GIS "Panorama" version 15 provides new tools of creating and applying digital terrain models
    In KB "Panorama" the GIS "Panorama" version 15.0 has been developed. The program has updated the basic tasks of creating and updating digital maps of the area, connecting external geoservices, extending tools through user Python scripts, managing the general list of data sets when displaying, editing digital classifiers and setting up conventional symbols, preparing cadastral documents and maintaining a database of cadastral works. In the new version, a group of tools "Plan of ground and underground communications" has been developed and other tasks have been updated.
    Updating GIS "Panorama" version 14 is free of charge if there is a valid technical support by downloading and installing a new version.
    The "Map Editor" has been improved, the task "Create objects" has been updated. Functionality for working with the object table filter has been extended. Classifier objects are filtered by such parameters as external code, key, object name, class/layer name. By default, the filtering mode is active. When you click in the filter value field, classifier objects are automatically selected according to the current value of the selected field. Elements have been added to display information about the current object, which allows you to copy the data about the object. Ability has been added to sort the contents of the table of objects in alphabetical order in ascending order by code, key or object name by pressing the left mouse button in the column header. The selected sorting mode is saved to the ini-file and restored during the next session. For better readability of information about the object, the table view has been changed. Display of the object view has been added into the first column. When you hover over it with the mouse cursor, an additional window with an enlarged image appears.
    In the "Change of object type" mode for recoding areal objects into vector objects, the ability to build a new metric using a larger segment of the initial object has been added. This mode can be used, for example, for generalisation of the areal structures which are not expressed on the map scale. Into group of modes of "Measurement" the mode "Radial scale" has been added. On the background of the map, a scale of three rings is displayed, indicating the distance from the center of the screen on the ground. The distance between the rings is selected depending on the map display scale. The central ring is divided into 10-degree sectors, the cardinal direction are signed on it and the direction to the north is indicated. Into the "Autoshapes" group, the mode "Corner rounding" mode has been added. Editing can be performed in single mode (an object selected on the map) or group mode (a group of objects previously selected on the map or a logical set of objects). When working in group mode, all selected objects are automatically processed (after selecting the type of object to be created and entering the value of a rounding radius). When working in single mode, the rounding radius is determined by moving the mouse pointer. At processing of rotary corners of object, the possibility of rounding with a given radius is evaluated. If the sharpness of the corner does not allow construction with a given radius, the construction is performed along the maximum possible radius.
    The mode "Expanding line object" has been improved. The new implementation of the mode allows you to perform additional digitization of multi-contour linear objects. When you select such an object, the nearest end or start point of one of the contours is determined. The contour selection is done automatically. Next, the user puts the necessary points to continue the contour. Digitizing a linear object is similar to creating a new linear object. In this case, all auxiliary modes of creation are available: closing the contour; deleting the last point of the contour; snapping a point to a point or segment of another object; snapping a point to a virtual grid with a given step; copying a contour fragment of another object; creation of horizontal and vertical segments; creation of segments with a rotation of 90 degrees and others.
    The mode "Create a copy of object" has been improved: when the property Snapping an object to a node of another object ("K" mode) is enabled, a snapping a created copy of object or group of selected objects on each mouse click is provided.
    The task of connecting geoportals has been improved. The new version has increased the speed of loading and displaying tiles. The GIS core automatically evaluates the computer parameters: the number of cores, the size of the RAM, the bandwidth of the data transmission channel. Taking into account the performance of the system, a pool of independent threads is formed to load, process and display the received data. Multi-threaded data loading reduces delays when moving the screen, scaling the map, and performing spatial queries to the geoportal. For example, for a network with a bandwidth of 100 Mbps on a 4-core processor with a clock frequency of 3.5 GHz, the speed of displaying tiles from the KB Panorama geoportal increased 6 times, and the time to receive them decreased from 500ms to 70ms.
    Access to geoportal archive data has been added. Examples of such geoportals are the Sentinel Hub geoportal or the VEGA service. The task allows you to connect to images or data on the geoportal by specifying the date, the request period, or the percentage of maximum cloudiness of satellite images. To quickly change the image from the geoportal, a new dialog has been added that allows you to set the parameters for accessing archived data (date, period, cloudiness); to set an offset or reference to a point if the geoportal has a lower accuracy than the map or data with which the geoportal is combined; to set transparency color - to view several layers at the same time; to set the color of the filter to change the color scheme of the geoportal.
    Data from geoportals can be saved into a pyramid of MBTILES tiles or into a raster for a territory selected by the user. In order to increase the speed of data access for the WMS protocol, caching of data in the form of tiles has been added. The data is saved in the form of a pyramid of tiles 1024Ρ…1024 in a folder of location of the geoportal cache. This change will allow the user to accumulate data locally and, in the absence of the Internet, use the already accumulated data cache. In order to update previously saved data, it is possible to set the lifetime of the geoportal cache in seconds.
    When connecting geoportals that are not included in the general list (wmslist_ru.xml file), connection data is saved in the general list in the "User connections" section. This will allow you to quickly connect the previously used geoportal. The list of "User connections" allows you to add data to it, and remove data from it. The mechanism for replacing the user settings file wmslist_ru.xml with a new one from the installation has been improved. A copying of previously connected user portals has been added when replacing the settings file. In the new version the possibility of connection of dynamically expanded list of available geoportals has been added. When such a geoportal is selected, a GetCapabilities request is sent to the service, and based on it, the list is automatically expanded with relevant data in the form of a tree of available layers. Support for a proxy server with domain authorization has been added.
    In the "Toolbars customizer" dialog, the ability to include python scripts into custom panels has been added. In the Tasks and scripts list, a Python scripts line has been added to select a script from the list, which must first be customized and checked in the Run applications dialog, "Scripts" tab. Toolbars customizer dialog allows you to create custom panels (toolbars) and fill them with frequently used modes from various application tasks and python scripts. In the Run applications dialog, on the Scripts tab, a field has been added for entering a description of the script that will be displayed when the user clicks on the button in the "What's This?" mode. When writing scripts, several thousand functions of the GIS core (MAPAPI) are available. The function prototypes are declared as imported python scripts from the Users\Public\Documents\Panorama\py_mapapi14 folder. The order of application of MAPAPI functions, described in the document "Applied tasks". The procedure for applying MAPAPI functions described in the document "Applied tasks. Development of new modules", will also be valid for python scripts.
    The task "Map Legend" has been improved. The new tab "General list of data" has been added. This tab is designed to display a list of data in the sequence required by the user. The general list includes all types of data: maps, rasters, matrixes, models and geoportals which are included into the open document. To classify the type of data in the general list, the indication of elements in the form of pictograms is provided. Enabling and disabling the visibility of data is carried out by pressing the left mouse button (Left) in the display area of the "checkmark/cross" icon or the space bar. Names of data elements can be presented in the form of a full path or an abbreviated name. With the help of the modes "Above", "Below", moving of the selected data element onto one position is carried out. To change the order of displaying several elements of the list, the mode of transferring elements with the mouse (Drag&Drop) is available. Selection of list items is carried out using the key combinations Ctrl + Left, Shift + Left. To restore the standard display order by data type, you must use the "Set default data layout" mode. For processing all types of data, the following modes are provided: "Display", "Above map", "Visibility limits", "Go to ...", "Brightness/Contrast", "Add", "Add from directory", "Close". These modes are available in the context menu on the "General list of data" tab.
    The task "Classifier editor" has been improved. Possibility of editing properties several objects at once has been added. Now you can select the necessary objects and transfer them to another layer or class, write down a common name for them, edit the visibility scales, add, delete, change the status of semantics, edit properties such as the digitization direction, the limits of sign resizing, and others. To do this, on the "Objects" tab, select the required objects in the table of classifier objects. If the table of objects displays only types of signs of objects, then you can select the current object by simultaneously pressing Ctrl+Left (left mouse button). If the table of objects is presented in string form, then the objects are selected by checking the box in the leftmost column of the table. Next, press the "Properties of selected objects" button and switch to the mode of general editing of all selected objects. Only the selected ones remain in the object table. In this mode, as well as without it, the properties of the currently selected object are displayed. But when editing any property, it is edited for all selected objects. If some property is highlighted with a yellow background or "others" is written on it, this means that it is different for the selected objects. Properties that cannot be edited at once for all selected objects are closed from editing. When you save, the edited properties are saved for all selected objects. You can exit the edit mode by pressing the "Properties of selected objects" button. You can reset the selected objects or select all currently filtered objects by clicking the "Reset selected objects" button. 2D and 3D views of objects do not have common editing for selected objects.
    The "Print classifier to Word" task, included in the "Classifier processing" task group, has been improved. The task is designed to generate a report on the map classifier in the form of an MS Word document. A description of the IML libraries used in the classifier has been added into the report. IML libraries contain non-standard object characters developed by the user. The description of each non-standard conventional symbol used in the classifier contains the name of the symbol, the parameters of the symbol and the list of objects for which display this symbol is used.
    The task "Correction of metric of objects", included into the group of tasks "Check and correction of data", has been improved. The "Interpolate 3D coordinate of points" mode has been added into the "Others" mode group. The mode is intended for processing linear and areal objects, in which not all metric points have a 3d coordinate. The heights for such points are calculated from the spline using the heights of other points of the object metric.
    The list of programmable signs on the demonstration map \data\shape\shape.sitx has been extended. There is added an example of a symbol - Coordinates of a point on a callout. In the conventional sign parameters, you can select a semantics code to display in the numerator of the callout line, up to 6 semantics codes to display values in the denominator in several lines, and a semantics code to display to the right of the callout line. If you enter the number "-1" as the semantics code, then the X coordinate of the first point of the callout line will be displayed with an accuracy of up to cm, if the number "-2" is the Y coordinate of the first point, if the number "-3" is the H coordinate of the first point. Font options can be specified for the numerator and denominator strings (equally) and for the string that appears to the right of the horizontal portion of the callout line (for example, point number or other semantics).
    The module "Geodesy editor" has been improved. The mode "Sign object turning points" has been improved. The ability to specify a postfix of points has been added, which ensures the formation of signatures of characteristic points of the boundaries of cadastral objects in accordance with the Order of Rosreestr No. P/0337 from 08/04/21. Obsolete elements have been removed and a new element "Value SKP (Mt)" has been added. The dialog "Search by cadastral number or address" has been improved. The search source selection element has been changed, three sources have been made: a map, EGRN information and Yandex. The "Sign the shortest distance to selected features" mode has been improved, the ability to select not only a linear, but also a point and areal object as a source object has been added. This feature implements the functions of the "Range calculator" with drawing lines of measurements (ranges) and signatures of the line length on the map. To support work with 3D metrics of objects obtained as a result of surveying terrain from a UAV by a point cloud, in the "Calculate missing line point heights" mode, the height interpolation algorithm has been changed. Height values of intermediate points (whose metrics are not copied from point objects) are calculated using the spline interpolation method.
    The module "Cadastral documents" has been improved. In the "Formation of a map-plan of the territory" mode, the formation of a text report has been added. The report is generated using the OpenXML technology and written into a DOCX file. The form of the report complies with the requirements of the order of the Federal Service for State Registration and Cadastre dated August 4, 2021 N P/0337. The report contains sections of the form Map-plan of the territory and the act of agreeing on the boundaries of land plots when performing complex cadastral work.
    The mode "Base of cadastral works" has been improved. Two fields have been added into the table of geodetic network points: "Network type" and "Coordinate system", which were not enough to fill in the corresponding tables in the land survey and technical plans. Filling in and editing these fields has been added into the dialog of editing geodetic points, a field displaying the coordinate system has been added into the tables with lists of geodetic points. The version of the database of cadastral works has been changed to 3.2. To obtain information about geodetic points, the dialogs "Land survey plan ","Technical plan", "Map-plan of the territory" have been improved, the selection of a geodetic network point from the catalog (CSV format file) has been replaced by a dialog with a list of geopoints from the database of cadastral works. Multiple selection of several survey points is supported. The button "Add a new document from the database" has been restored in the "Land survey plan"" dialog. In the "Formation of a map-plan of the territory" mode, when filling in the XML file information about the state of the geodetic network point in the absence of information about the state of the external sign of the point, the center of the point and the mark, but the presence of a code from the directory, the value corresponding to the code from the directory is written into the StateConservation element "Preserved; Not found; Lost."
    A new panel "Earth and Underground communications Plan" has been developed. Buttons for the following modes have been added into the panel: "Copy to another map", "Control communication object attributes", "Applying communications objects", "Export to GML". The modes use the new classifier urban.v2.rsc, created in accordance with the requirements of the Order of the MINISTRY OF CONSTRUCTION AND HOUSING AND UTILITIES OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION No. 433/pr dated August 6, 2020 "On approval of technical requirements for maintaining registers of state information systems for urban planning, methods for assigning registration numbers to information, documents, materials placed in state information systems for ensuring urban planning activities, directories and classifiers necessary for processing the specified information, documents, materials, formats for providing information, documents, materials contained in state information systems for ensuring urban planning activities".

  • 14.08.2023 A training video has been prepared on establishing a connection between a map object and a database table record in the GIS "Panorama"
    Specialists of KB "Panorama" have prepared a video lesson on establishing the relationship between the map object and the selected record of the database table. The management system of the user Database is a component of the GIS "Panorama" and is designed to work with data stored in separate database tables on a local or network drive. Work with DBMS dBase, MySQL, PostgreSQL is supported. The external database may contain attributive information about map objects in addition to its semantic characteristics. The database allows to structure, store and process the data of various type by means of creation of the user projects.
    The video lesson demonstrates two types of links between a map object and a selected record in a database table - interactive linking (each object is selected by the user on the map) and automatic linking of map objects according to the specified list of semantic characteristics of objects. The link of an object with a map is established by saving unique data about the map object into the table, which are its number - the LINKOBJECT field and the name of the map sheet on which it is located - the LINKSHEET field. As a result of establishing a link, records appear in these fields, indicating that the object is linked with the map.

  • 31.07.2023 GIS Constructor toolkit for Qt Designer provides cross-platform development of GIS applications
    In KB "Panorama" the toolkit has been developed for creating cross-platform GIS applications (for Linux and MS Windows) - GIS Constructor for Qt Designer version 14.0.1.2. The program allows to create 64-bit GIS applications in the Visual Studio environment with use of libraries of the Qt 5.12 framework. For visual design, the Qt Visual Studio Tools extension is used. The toolkit is a set of visual components, classes and API functions of the GIS core for working with spatial data.
    GIS Constructor for Windows OS has been developed on the basis of a similar software product for Linux OS and has the same set of components and classes using the Qt framework. GIS applications created with use of GIS Constructor for the Linux OS variant can be built on Windows x64 version 7 and higher and vice versa.
    GIS Constructor includes tools of displaying spatial data with possibility of customizing conventional symbols (external view of objects), positioning and scaling of the map image. Spatial data can be located both on the local computer and on a remote GIS Server. The components provide access to spatial data using web services via international OGC protocols (obtaining a map image, obtaining and changing data about map objects).
    In GIS Constructor a support of local, state and international systems of coordinates has been implemented. There are functions of transformation of coordinates. Datum parameters and parameters of transition between coordinate systems are customized by the user. This allows you to develop geographic information systems for various purposes and levels of use - corporate, municipal, regional and federal.
    Creating a GIS application based on GIS Constructor takes only a few steps. The specificity of visual programming is such that the work of all its components is built around one main spatial data access component that performs all the work of accessing spatial data and managing their display. Further, all the functionality is built up in three steps: the required component is placed on the form, is associated with the access component, and its programmatic configuration is performed to start the task predefined for it (for example, by pressing the corresponding button in the interface, the map object is searched for at the click point, it is highlighted by blinking and showing a dialog with the characteristics of the object).
    The new version of the program is available for download on the Download page.

  • 19.07.2023 Tools for creating user maps have been improved in the mobile GIS "Panorama Mobile" for the domestic OS Aurora
    In KB "Panorama" the GIS "Panorama Mobile" version 1.2.7 has been developed for OS Aurora. In the new version the editing tools of the spatial data have been expanded, the user interface for working on devices with different screen resolutions has been improved.
    The task of editing vector data has been supplemented with new modes. Tools have been added for drawing objects of type "title" with possibility of alignment of the text. In the new version, the position of existing map objects can be refined using the "Editing object points" mode. This mode allows each of the points of the object's contours to be moved separately. If the object is no longer relevant, the user can remove it from the map using the appropriate mode. To protect against erroneous cancellation of the map's editing action, information can be restored using the "Redo the canceled operation" mode. All user actions are saved in the transaction log of the map and can be restored using this mode. Maps with the obtained information about the area can be transferred to desktop products (GIS "Panorama", Panorama-editor, GIS Panorama Mini) and used as initial data for a wide range of applied tasks.
    To improve user interaction with the application, saving the state of data at the time of closing, support for changing the screen orientation, and the ability to quickly navigate to a document have been added. When closing the data, as well as the application itself, the scale, current position, color model, brightness, contrast, and other parameters are saved. When working with a set of spatial data for different territories, the ability to quickly switch to the document of interest using the drop-down menu item from the "Data List" dialog has been implemented. When using the application on various mobile devices, the advantages of both tablets (wide screen) and smartphones (narrow screen) are realized by dynamically changing the orientation of the application controls to landscape or portrait modes.
    GIS "Panorama Mobile" allows you to open and edit the main formats of digital maps of GIS "Panorama" and popular geoportals on mobile devices based on the Aurora OS, to process information from the built-in GPS/GLONASS receiver. The user can prepare in advance a necessary set of spatial data in one of desktop products (GIS "Panorama", Panorama-editor, GIS Panorama Mini) and to transfer it into the mobile GIS "Panorama Mobile". The process of working with data is carried out autonomously, without connecting to the Internet. When the user moves, his current position is dynamically displayed according to the coordinates obtained from the GPS/GLONASS receiver. For ease of use, it is possible to synchronize the position of the map with the current location. To save the coordinates obtained during movement, a track recording mode is provided, which creates a separate map and puts the trajectory of movement onto it. For all objects of a map during the work the basic information is provided . The program is developed on the basis of the GIS Constructor toolkit, which provides components for creating mobile applications for working with digital maps in the C++ programming language using the Qt.
    OS Aurora - is a Russian mobile operating system developed by the "Open mobile platform" company. Operating system been created to build a trusted mobile infrastructure, protect sensitive information in government organizations, large and medium-sized commercial companies. Contributes to ensuring the technological sovereignty of the state through a secure mobile environment and meets all the requirements of regulators in the field of national security and information protection.

The demo version has get-acquainted character of operating modes of the complex and is constructed on an example of conducting a database with use of digital maps for the Selizharovo municipality. For working with the demo version, no special preparation of maps and database installation is required. Database connection parameters are described in the documentation for the System Programmer's Guide.
    The complex of urban planning tasks allows you to automatically form urban planning documents, place them in ISOGD - Information systems for ensuring urban planning, as well as receive reporting documents for tax authorities in accordance with regulatory urban planning documents. When forming documents, the semantic characteristics from a digital map of the land plots and attributes of a land plot or object of the registration stored in a database are used. The modes of the complex of urban planning tasks are called by clicking on the corresponding button on the main panel. The buttons are grouped according to their functional purpose. For example, by means of the button "User's authorization" a check is made on the software product licence, connection to a database, authorisation of the user. The "Land plots" mode is intended for maintaining the register of land plots together with the on-duty plan of the territory and taking into account the documented information in the section "Build-up and land plots to be built up". On the "Electronic document management" panel, the modes of forming the urban planning documents are grouped according to the semantic characteristics of the digital map object.

  • 30.06.2023 In GIS "Panorama" the tools of creating maps and terrain models have been added
    In KB "Panorama" the GIS "Panorama" version 14.6.0 has been developed. In the new version, tools for creating and and updating maps of the area have been added, connection of geoportals by different protocols and at local placement has been improved. Building a matrix of quality based on a point cloud from the "Panorama Photo" program has been automated, the basic classifiers of topographic maps and plans have been updated at the expense of use of object classes (layer tree), the process of exporting images into various graphic formats has been automated. The block of cadastral and geodesy tasks has been updated.
    The task "Map Editor" has been improved. In modes of creating new objects, the possibility of a binding to the geometrical center of the object selected on the map has been added. The new auxiliary mode is implemented in the form of the button on the auxiliary panel and a menu item appearing by pressing the right mouse button. The mode "Create an object copy" has been improved. This mode allows you to create copies of the selected object or copies of marked objects. The new implementation of the mode allows you to draw a copy of an object or group of marked objects for each mouse click. This method allows you to increase the speed of creating the same type of objects.
    In the "Object samples" mode, the item "Clear object view" has been added into the menu by the right mouse button. There are increased the maximum number of objects samples (buttons) in the layout ruler up to 32 and the maximum number of rulers up to 12. Samples of created objects is a panel with buttons containing images of objects of the selected type or a group of objects with prepared semantics or graphic symbols outside the classifier. The use of pre-prepared samples speeds up the process of creating and updating vector terrain maps for various purposes.
    The task of connecting geoportals has been improved. Into the task the ability to work offline with a prepared copy of data from geoportals has been added. This mode allows you to work with the pyramid of tiles that the user has, without passing requests to the selected geoportals. Enabling this mode is possible in the settings menu for certain geoportals or for all geoportals. You can form a local pyramid of tiles in advance when the geoportal is connected, by clicking the menu item the File - Export to a tile pyramid. At the same time, in addition to the formed Mbtiles pyramid, the corresponding tiles will also be stored in the cache. Offline mode allows you to increase the speed and security of opening and displaying geoportals in the absence of a connection. In case of an error in establishing a connection with a geoportal over HTTPS protocol, an automatic re-request over HTTP protocol (and vice versa HTTPS after HTTP) has been added in case the geoportal is accessible over another protocol.
    The task "Creating a matrix of qualities" has been improved, designed to build matrixes of qualities and matrixes of heights according to the coordinates of points of objects of a vector map or MTD-model (point cloud). The procedure for creating a matrix of heights based on MTD-models, formed by the program for processing aerial photography materials (Panorama Photo), has been updated. The heights of the resulting matrix are calculated by the method of weight-average interpolation of the heights of the nearest points of the MTD model.
    The Panorama Photo program is designed to automatically obtain digital information about the terrain based on the materials of aerial photography. The primary processing product is a point cloud, on the basis of which a matrix of heights and an orthophotomap are created.
    The task "Classifier editor" has been improved. The following modes have been added into the "Clusters" tab: creating a new cluster's sign by copying the selected one, copying a cluster sign from another classifier via the clipboard. The cluster sign is used to display densely spaced point symbols of the same view of objects with a common sign. The tab selects the views of objects related to each type of cluster, the cell sizes vertically and horizontally, the semantics code for specifying the current number of objects in the cluster, the view of cluster symbol, the limiting percentage of increasing the size of the cluster symbol and the limiting number of objects corresponding to the maximum size of the symbol cluster. When copying a cluster's sign from one classifier to another, it is necessary to re-assign the views of objects related to this cluster.
    The program "Print classifier to Word" has been improved. The program is designed to form a report by the map classifier in the form of an MS Word document. The report contains tables of layers, semantics and objects. In the new version of the program a support of classes has been added. The output of layers and classes is performed in alphabetical order, taking into account the hierarchy: layer / class / subclass. In the table of semantics, the accuracy of storing numeric semantics and units of measurement have been added. In order to improve readability when creating a document, the following has been added: merging subheading cells containing the names of layers and classes; separation of cells containing the names of objects of the same series.
    By means of the new program, a report on the map5000m.rsc classifier has been prepared. This classifier contains 22 layers, more than 70 classes, more than 300 semantics and about 2000 views of objects. Most layer objects are divided into classes. For example, the "Communications" layer contains the following classes: Pipelines, Sewers, Wells, Power transmission and communication lines, Supports and trusses, Communication objects. Some objects are grouped into series. For example, pipelines: Petrol pipeline, Fuel oil pipeline and others. Objects of the same series may have a different view on the map, but always have the same localization, code, and set of semantic characteristics. In the new report, the names and views of objects in the series are divided into separate cells of the table, which ensured full correspondence between the views and names of objects. The common properties of a series of objects are grouped into common blocks.
    The task "Data list" has been improved. On the "Rasters" tab, a call to the "Exporting rasters to format TIFF, JPEG, BMP, PCX" dialog is added, which is intended for exporting a rasters group of document to files of graphic formats. Due to the use of multi-threaded processing on a multi-core processor, the time for exporting a group of rasters was reduced by 5-7 times. The new dialog is called by the "Save as ..." item of the context menu for the "Rasters" branch.
    Module "Geodesy editor" has been improved. For the modes "Object intersection calculation", "View object intersection" and "Object intersection control" the processing of lists of objects has been accelerated and multi-threaded processing of intersections has been implemented, including taking into account multipolygons. The algorithm for calculating the intersection area for multi-contour objects has been changed. Display of the number of objects in the original data lists and the counter of the number of intersections have been added. In the "Object intersection calculation" mode, an indication of the elapsed time and how much time is left until the completion of the calculation has been added. In the "To sign the area and the name of object" mode, the dividing line is drawn taking into account the scale of the map. In the "Generate road profile" mode dialog, the font height of on-screen elements has been corrected.
    The module "Cadastral documents" has been improved. Mode "Reading the cadastral plan of the territory and updating the map" has been refined. Reading information about the coordinate system from XML files according to the "extract_cadastral_plan_territory" scheme has been implemented. When selecting XML files with the extract_cadastral_plan_territory schema type, information about the coordinate system of each object in the file is read and unique values are entered into the "Source data coordinate systems" table. If the XML file has a different schema type, then the flag "do not analyze the coordinate system" is set. Tools for maintaining a list of correspondence of coordinate systems to their geodetic parameters have been developed. To maintain the correspondence list, new buttons have been added in the dialog: "Reading and displaying coordinate systems from the correspondence file", "Saving the correspondence file", "Reading coordinate systems from XML files", "Add line into the table the Source data coordinate systems", "Delete line from the table the Source data coordinate systems", "Clear the table the Source data coordinate systems". The modes of the "Cadastral Documents" module use the preset keys of objects and their semantics. To control the presence of the necessary objects and semantics in the classifier of the cadastral map, the control algorithm has been updated. The check of the name of the classifier has been removed and a check has been added for the presence in the classifier of the necessary keys of cadastral objects and semantics. The list of used object keys and semantics is included in the documentation. Output of a pop-up message for "bad" classifiers has been implemented. The mode "Correction of registry errors" has been improved in terms of generating an electronic XML document for buildings. The function of reading information about the scale of a graphic file inserted into a report has been fixed. In the dialog of mode "Semantics of the object of cadastral works", the tables the "List of documents", "Geodesic base" and "Information about the coordinate system referenced by the features" have been deleted, since the specified information is stored in the Database of cadastral works. The mode "Base of cadastral works" has been improved. In the absence of contracts in the database of cadastral works, the database file was not updated from version 2.0 and below to the current version. In the "Land Survey plan" mode, it is possible to add more than one file into the tables "Graphic files that contain acts of harmonization of the location of the boundaries of land" and "Graphics file (files) containing a drawing of plots". Button "Add document from database into list" has been restored. With several selected objects on the map, information on only one object got into the data tree in the "Land Survey plan" dialog and during the formation of the XML document. The recording into the XML file of the SpecifyParcel element has been corrected, the recording of the SpecifyRelatedParcel and SpecifyParcelApproximal sections has been added. The "Forest declaration" mode has been improved, a recording has been added into Appendix 4 and 5 of information about objects that fall into Appendix 1 (draft).

    The module "Cadastral documents" has been improved. The address database was updated with current information from FIAS. In the "FIAS Address" dialog, support for addresses of administrative and municipal division has been added. In the "Reading the cadastral plan of the territory and updating the map" mode, the drawing of conditional parts of plots and capital construction objects has been added, if there is no spatial component of parts in the extract according to the extract_about_property_land scheme. The coordinates of the conditional part correspond to the center of the property. To implement this feature, a new object "Conditional part of a land plot" has been added into the survey classifier. Reading of the special_notes element has been added when reading information about uniform land tenure.
    The read value is written into the semantics of the land plot "Special marks". There is implemented a reading of information about the person in favor of which the restriction of rights and encumbrance of the property object is established from the right_holders element. The right_holders element is read if there is no restrict_parties element. The received information is recorded into the composite semantics "Content of encumbrances".
    Into the "Base of cadastral works" mode, the "Documents" tab has been added to the main form, which displays a list of documents used when performing cadastral works. In the form of editing the contract for cadastral works, the "Documents" tab has been added, in which you can specify the documents related to this contract. In the modes "Map (plan) of the land management object", "Land survey plan", "Technical plan", "Formation of a map-plan of the territory", "Certificate of inspection of the property" and "Correction of registry errors", elements for obtaining documents from the "Base of cadastral works" have been added. In the "Semantics of the object of cadastral works" dialog, unnecessary and obsolete elements have been removed, including information about documents and geodetic points used in the performance of cadastral works. The specified information is maintained in the "Base of cadastral works" and can be quickly inserted into any of the dialogs for the formation of cadastral documents. In the dialog "Description of the location of the boundaries", the formation of a document on the location of the boundaries of settlements and territorial zones is implemented in accordance with the requirements of Order P/0292 dated July 26, 2022, which entered into force on March 1, 2023. Report templates have been updated and the order of inserting images into the report was corrected. Insertion is optional at the request of the user. The mode "Formation of a map-plan of the territory" has been updated. The map folder is used by default for placing the XML document. When generating the XML file of the technical plan of the building, the recording of the element "Area - Area in square meters" was corrected in the absence of the value of the AREADOC semantic. There is corrected a saving into the XML file and object semantics of information about the material of the outer walls and the type of permitted use of the building. When performing cadastral work to clarify the characteristics of a real estate object, the option "Do not include coordinates" has been added on the "Object characteristics" page. In this case, for buildings and constructions registered in the cadastre, information about the spatial component is not recorded into the XML file. In the "Correction of registry errors" mode, methods have been added that ensure the insertion of diagrams and drawings into the report, and rounding the area has been corrected.

    The new mode of editing the vector data has been added. Using this mode, the user can specify the coordinates of objects of interest to him on the ground (for example, cadastral plots, objects of power grids or gas economy). As data for editing, the user can select any open layer available for editing. The user can choose the external view of an object and a set of its characteristics from a standard library of conventional symbols (classifier) depending on the used subject (topographic, navigation, agricultural or forestry maps, etc.). When working with the classifier,the user can execute selection by a set of conditions: object type (for example, point or area) and object layer (for example, "Vegetation" or "Road network"). Information received from the built-in navigation device can serve as a source of information about the position of a terrain object. For convenience of using, a cancellation of last operation on map editing has been provided.
    Direct and inverse geodetic tasks for execution of calculations on the terrain map have been implemented. Using these modes, the user can determine the coordinates of an object by a set of computational properties (starting point, distance, and azimuth). The selection of the starting point is carried out in an interactive form, it is supported the entering the coordinates from the keyboard in meters, in the current projection of the map. Calculation results can be displayed on a map or presented in numerical form. The received coordinates can be copied to the device's clipboard and used for transmission or further processing.

  • 18.05.2023 GIS WebService SE supports the new standard OGC 14-065r2 Web Processing Service version 2.0.2 (OGC WPS)
    In KB "Panorama" the GIS WebService SE version 15.3.0 has been developed.The new version adds support for a new standard - OGC 14-065r2 Web Processing Service version 2.0.2 (OGC WPS). In many cases, geospatial or location data, including data from sensors, data from drones, and other data, must be processed before the information can be effectively used. In most cases process of preliminary data processing can take a long time and require significant resources from the server. This standard provides an the interface for execution of simple and difficult computing methods of processing of the information. The OGC WPS standard supports both immediate processing of operations that require little time for execution, as well as asynchronous processing for more complex and time-consuming tasks. OGC WPS standard defines the general model of process and provides a description of the processing functions and their parameters. It is intended for support of cataloging and detection of processes in the distributed environment. Using the model of the OGC WPS standard, the service allows you to receive/issue parameters, both by direct value and through links, for example, the results of previous operations or data from other services.
    For OGC WPS, all operations available in the standard are supported: GetCapabilities, DescribeProcess, Execute, GetStatus, GetResult, Dismiss. Based on OGC WPS, all asynchronous information processing methods already available in the service are standardized, such as: checking intersections between objects of different layers; construction of intersections between objects; updating the data cache; building visibility zones; building matrixes of heights; construction of thermal and thematic maps and others. Using the commands of the standard, you can run any other requests supported by the service in synchronous or asynchronous modes. Descriptions of requests and their parameters can be obtained from the OGC WPS specification - GetCapabilities/DescribeProcess requests, and from the OpenApi 3.0 specification - a universal interface for users (clients) to interact with services (servers).
    GIS WebService SE supports all international standards (OGC WFS, WFS-T, WMS, WMTS, WCS, WPS), which are used to transfer and display spatial data. The program implements the ability to issue tiles according to any user or local coordinate system. The application is implemented on Windows and Linux platforms and is compatible with Apache, IIS and nginx web servers.

  • 17.05.2023 Training video on creating a map-plan of territory has been prepared
    Specialists of KB "Panorama" have prepared a video lesson on using the "Formation of a map-plan of the territory" mode. Dialog is intended for creation of the electronic document "a territory Map-plan" in which reproduces necessary for placing into EGRN an information about land plots located within the boundaries of the territory where complex cadastral works are performed, as well as information about the location of buildings, structures, objects under construction on such land plots.
    The initial initialization of the dialog content is performed by information from the digital cadastral map and from the database of cadastral works. The cadastral map for the formation of a map-plan of the territory should be prepared in accordance with the recommendations.
    The map should be created with use of survey.v5 or survey.v6 classifiers. To draw objects in respect of which cadastral works are performed, it is necessary to use the objects of the "Cadastral plan of the territory" layer. An exception is the point object "Contour of the construction, OHS off-scale round" (key P_REALTYROUND), used for drawing point objects of real estate, which is located in the "Technical plan" layer.
    The territory of execution of complex cadastral works should be digitized by the line of borders including all objects of cadastral works. An object within which complex cadastral works are performed can be of two types - "Cadastral block" (key S_BLOK) or "Boundary of complex cadastral works" (key S_CADASTRE). For an object of the first type, the semantics "Cadastral number" (key KADNUM) must be filled in, for an object of the second type - the repeating semantics "Cadastral number of the block" (key KADNUM_K).

  • 15.05.2023 GIS Constructor provides tools for visualisation of spatial data on the basis of various graphic libraries
    In KB "Panorama" the GIS Constructor for Qt Designer SE version 14.3.0 has been developed. In the new version the universal interface of interaction with graphic libraries has been implemented, mechanisms of work of the program in the conditions of the limited system resources have been improved. The list of supported geoportals has been expanded, the display of sea maps has been improved, and new diagnostic capabilities of working the GIS applications have been added.
    A programming interface has been developed that allows the developer to use a graphics library for visualization based on his needs. The central element of most GIS applications is the display of spatial data. In this case, the image of a fragment of a digital map is formed using the functions of drawing graphic primitives (lines, polygons, points, and others) by means of a certain graphic library (Qt, GTK, wxWidgets, Xlib, and others). Often the choice of such a library is already determined at the design stage of the application and is a permanent part of the architecture. GIS Constructor provides software tools for implementing data visualization in an application with any selected graphic framework. This is achieved by separating the implementation of displaying graphic primitives into a separate library, which is accessed by the GIS core during the drawing process. As a result, the developer can use either a ready-made set of drawing functions, or implement them independently based on the graphics framework of interest to him. This makes GIS Constructor a universal tool for visualizing spatial data. The installation of the program includes examples of the implementation of drawing graphic primitives based on the Qt and Xlib libraries.
    The functioning of the GIS application has been improved with a limited amount of available RAM. The need for the program to work in conditions of a small amount of system resources becomes relevant when using the embedded devices, portable laptops, specialized tablets and other similar devices. If there is a lack of memory, the GIS core automatically activates a buffer with a limited amount of memory and performs all operations with data using only this buffer. As a result, memory consumption by the GIS application is drastically reduced. The new version adds the ability to explicitly set a limit on the amount of memory used by the application for opening the data, when it is reached, this mode will be activated forcibly.
    The ability to display only error messages in the diagnostic protocol has been added. This allows you to effectively determine the cause of abnormal behavior of a program that performs a large number of operations with spatial data. In this case, limiting the output by error messages reduces the volume of the resulting protocol and makes it convenient for further analysis.
    The task of connecting geoportals has been improved. Into the list of geoportals the geoportal of Krasnodar territory has been added containing the layers: Administrative territorial division, Contours of fields of agricultural land, Fishing grounds, Vine plantations
    Display of sea maps according to the S52 standard has been improved. There is clarified the implementation of procedures for forming depth values based on attribute values for underwater obstacles, taking into account the underlying objects, a requesting the code of the displayed symbol and the display flag taking into account the depth of the obstacle and requesting the code of an isolated underwater hazard with a depth less than the safety contour.
    GIS Constructor is a set of geoinformation components for use in the visual programming environment of Qt Designer, which allows you to develop your own GIS applications. The visualization of the contents of digital maps is made in conventional symbols adopted for topographic, geographical and various special maps. Geoinformation system has ample opportunities for performing calculations, for providing display of spatial data on various graphic devices in standard and user systems of conventional symbols. The main functions can be executed in multithreaded mode. It supports automatic optimization of used memory for processing large amounts of data (tens of gigabytes) on limited resources (hundreds of megabytes).
    The toolkit is adapted for work on a wide range of operating systems (Astra Linux SE, ALT Linux, Elbrus, Ubuntu, CentOS, QNX) and architectures (Intel, Elbrus, PowerPC, SPARC, ARM). The toolkit includes components of visual designing the GIS applications and library of a multiplatform multithreaded GIS core. GIS Constructor provides a cross-platform MAPAPI interface that allows a programmer to implement development in an operating system convenient for it. The developer can release GIS applications for a set of operating systems by simple assembly with minimal changes to the program source code.

  • 05.05.2023 "Workstation of cadastral engineer" provides implementation of complex cadastral works
    In KB "Panorama" the "Workstation of cadastral engineer" version 14.5.6 has been developed. In the new version the module "Cadastral documents" has been improved, which supports formation of reporting documents by results of complex cadastral works in accordance with the Federal Law of July 24, 2007 N 221-FZ (as amended on December 19, 2022) "On Cadastral Activities". To support complex cadastral work, a new mode "Formation of a map-plan of the territory" has been developed. The mode generates an XML document provided to the Unified State Register of Real Estate in electronic form, approved by the order of Rosreestr dated March 16, 2017 N P/115. The initial information for the formation of a map-plan of the territory is taken from the digital cadastral map and from the database of cadastral works.
    Complex cadastral workΡ‹ is carried out simultaneously in relation to all land plots, buildings, constructions located on the territory of one cadastral quarter or the territories of several adjacent cadastral quarters (with the exception of linear objects), as well as objects of construction in progress, information about which is contained in the Unified State Register of Real Estate. To start the "Formation of a map-plan of the territory" mode, it is necessary to select a cadastral quarter or other object on the cadastral map that limits the territory of work. To prepare a cadastral map containing the results of complex cadastral works, the survey.v6 digital classifier has been refined. The necessary objects are arranged in the form of a separate layer CADASTRAL PLAN OF THE TERRITORY.
    The program analyzes the map, reads information about all objects of complex cadastral works and displays information in a dialog for viewing and editing. The information of the general sections of the map-plan of the territory is stored in the tables of the cadastral database of the SQLite format and is linked to the cadastral map object that limits the territory of cadastral work. When the program is restarted, the entered values are automatically read and displayed in the dialog elements. The dialog "Base of cadastral works" is supplemented with tools of maintaining information about the points of the geodetic base used in the preparation of cadastral documents. Information of cadastral objects is stored in the semantics of land plots and real estate objects located within the territory of complex cadastral works.
    The mode "Formation of Real estate survey report" has been improved. Formation of electronic XML document of the certificate of inspection by XML scheme InspectionAct_v03.xsd has been implemented. The mode supports the creation of XML files for the new and old scheme. The dialog "Data input for the document" has been improved, the list of document details has been expanded. The mode "Reading the cadastral plan of the territory and updating the map" has been improved, processing of several initial XML files in a streaming mode has been accelerated and automatic updating the image of an updated map was executed. For mapping conditional cadastral objects that do not have a spatial component, the analysis of information about the CsID coordinate system is disabled, since such information is not available.
    In the "Technical plan" dialog, the order of inserting "Floor plan (parts of the floor)" graphic files into Word has been corrected. In dialog "Land survey plan version 6", the formation of AppliedFilePDF element for the "Document on the category of land" and for the "Document on permitted use" has been corrected. Into the task "Cadastral documents" into the mode "Forest declaration formation" the button "Formation of the text report" based on .DOCX templates has been added. The form of the forest declaration, the procedure for filling and submitting it, the requirements for the format of the forest declaration in electronic form were approved by order of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Ecology of the Russian Federation dated April 29, 2021 N 303. The forest declaration reflects the following information: about the person who filed the forest declaration; on a lease agreement for a forest plot or other document in accordance with which the use of forests is carried out; about the location of the forest area; on the volume of forest use; on the types of use of forests. Input of information for filling the form of the forest declaration is performed by selecting values from a directory and from semantic characteristics of selected objects. Reference information is stored in SQLite database tables.
    In the module "Geodesy editor", in dialog "Fill in report by object metric" the possibility has been added for interruption of process of stream processing of selected objects when inserting data into several files. There is added a formatting of strings inserted into Excel with leading and trailing spaces. A space at the beginning of elements the "name of a piece", "length of a piece", "DeltaX", "DeltaY" is inserted for elimination of Excel autoformatting. Otherwise, it performs date substitutions for records like "5-4" in "Apr 5", for "3.12" in "Dec 3", and others.

  • 03.05.2023 "Workstation of urban planner" generates a permission to put the object into operation in accordance with the requirements of the order of the Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation dated 06/03/2022 No. 446/pr
    In KB "Panorama" the "Workstation of urban-planner" version 14.5.6 has been developed. The program implemented filling out the document "Permission to put object into operation" according to the requirements of the order of the Ministry of building and housing and communal services of the Russian Federation dated 06/03/2022 β„– 446/pr "On approval of the form of a building permit and permission to put the facility into operation". The document is formed for objects of capital construction according to the information stored in the database.
    The new form of permission to put an object into operation includes 7 sections: details of the permission to put an object into operation, information about the developer, information about the capital construction object, information about the land plot, information about the building permit on the basis of which the construction was carried out, reconstruction of capital construction object, actual indicators of the capital construction object and information about the technical plan, actual indicators of the linear object and information about the technical plan. For a new form of permission to put an object into operation, additional attributes for capital construction objects have been added to the urban planning database, the attributive information of the permission to put an object into operation has been loaded into electronic map objects.
    To generate a permission to put an object into operation, you must specify the object of real estate and fill in the document attributes located on the tabs of the form. Attribute information of the document is filled in the new dialog "Permission to put the object into operation", which is called from the register of accounting objects or by clicking the "Reports formation" button located on the main panel of the Complex. The dialog tabs correspond to the sections of the new form of the document. Many attributes are filled in automatically in accordance with the building permit, on the basis of which the construction (reconstruction) of the capital construction object was carried out. After filling in the attributive information, you can generate a document in the office suite. Completely blank sections of the form are not included into the document.
    The form of the document is formed on the basis of prepared templates of the dot format. Templates contain a descriptive part and named markers that tell the program where to insert data. Procedure of document formation is customizable. The user can change a template according to various regional and departmental requirements. There is a relationship between the attributes of the permission to put the object into operation and the markers in the template, which is customized in the directory "List of attributes for type of accounting object". To exchange data with an electronic map in the same directory, each attribute can be assigned any semantic characteristic of the object according to the survey classifier.
    Saving of the created document "Permission to put object into operation" in urban-planning database has been implemented.
    The generated permission to put the object into operation can be saved on disk in doc, docx, pdf formats. If necessary, an electronic copy of the document is loaded into the file storage of the database of the Complex. In this case, the document file is attached to the list of files of the capital construction object.
    By means of the "Update of semantics on the map" mode, it is possible to load the attributive information of permission to put the object into operation into the electronic map's object. A necessary condition for updating semantics is the existence of a connection between a record in the database and an object on the map. The update procedure can work both with one or several records, and with the entire list of capital construction objects.
    The new version of the program is available for download in the Download section.

  • 01.05.2023 In GIS Panorama the tools of search of data and calculations by attributes of objects have been improved
    In KB "Panorama" the GIS "Panorama" version 14.5.6 has been developed. In the new version the tools have been added for calculations by semantics of objects, controlling of display and search of various categories of terrain objects, import and export of data, the tools of the task "Classifier Editor" have been expanded, the list of geoportals is added, the tasks of "Check of vector map quality" and "Correction of objects metrics" are improved, in the block of geodetic and cadastral tasks the mode "Formation of map-plan of the territory" has been implemented, the modes "Base of cadastral works", "Technical plan", "Formation of forest declaration" and others have been updated.
    The list of operations for semantics of the "Numerical formula" type and for the mode "Calculations on semantics of selected objects" in the Map Editor task has been expanded. Operation "SUM" has been added to sum the values of the object's repeatable semantics. For example, if semantics with the code "345" are numeric and repeatable (an object can have several semantics with the code "345" with different values) and you need to get the sum of all values, then the expression should be "SUM(#345)" in the formula. For semantics of the "Symbol formulas" type and for the "Formation semantics" mode in the Map Editor task, support for repeatable semantics has been added. The values of the repeated semantics are written to the resulting string separated by commas.
    The task "Map Legend" has been improved. On the "Maps" tab, a hierarchy of classes in the form of a multilevel tree has been added in the object tree of the classifier. For the selected class, the ability to enable/disable the visibility of objects, to select objects on the map are available. For objects that are part of the tree, but not on the map, the color of the visibility state icons has been updated - "gray". On the "Maps" tab, the "Enable/Disable graphic objects" mode has been added, which allows you to set graphical objects in the selection conditions.
    To increase the security of data hosted on the GIS Server, a ban on editing the map passport has been added if the user does not have data administration rights or if the ban on displaying coordinate system parameters on the client is enabled.
    Import of navigation data from the Polish format (MP) has been improved. Support of multilines and multipolygons has been added. The map was unloaded by means of visibility scales limitation, taking into account the "Levels" and "EndLevel" tags. When the map is increased, the image contains a small terrain area of highly detailed. When the map is decreased, a large area with less detail. This method of the map sparseness allows you to increase the readability of the map and speed up the display of the map. Importing a map from the polish format is done through the menu: File - Import navigation from ... - GPS/Polish format (MP).
    A new script has been added into the Tools - Run Applications menu in the Import/Export Data group to automate saving the images of vector maps located in a selected folder in TIF format.
    Module "Geodesy editor" has been improved. In dialog "Fill in the report by object metric" the possibility has been added for interruption of process of stream processing of selected objects when inserting data into several files. There is added a formatting of strings inserted into Excel with leading and trailing spaces. A space at the beginning of elements the "name of a piece", "length of a piece", "DeltaX", "DeltaY" is inserted for elimination of Excel autoformatting. Otherwise, it performs date substitutions for records like "5-4" in "Apr 5", for "3.12" in "Dec 3", and others.
    The module "Cadastral documents" has been improved. A new mode "Formation of a map-plan of the territory" has been developed, intended for the formation of an XML-document provided to the Unified State Register of Real Estate in the course of complex cadastral work. The form of the document, the procedure for filling and submitting it, the requirements for the format in electronic form are approved by order of the Federal Register of March 16, 2017 N P/115. The initial information for the formation of a map-plan of the territory is taken from the digital cadastral map and the database of cadastral works. To prepare a cadastral map containing the necessary objects, the survey.v6 digital classifier was refined. The information necessary to form an electronic XML document is displayed in the dialog elements for viewing and editing. The information of the general sections of the map-plan of the territory is stored in the tables of the cadastral database of the SQLite format and is linked to the cadastral map object that limits the territory of cadastral work. When the program is restarted, the entered values are automatically read and displayed in the dialog elements. Information of cadastral objects is stored in the semantics of cadastral objects - land plots and real estate objects located within the territory of complex cadastral works. The border of territory of complex cadastral works can correspond to one or several cadastral quarters.
    The dialog "Base of cadastral works" has been improved, the maintenance of information about the points of the geodetic base used in the preparation of cadastral documents has been added. The mode "Formation of Real estate survey report" has been improved. Formation of electronic XML document of the certificate of inspection by XML scheme InspectionAct_v03.xsd has been implemented. The mode supports the creation of XML files for the new and old scheme. The dialog "Data input for the document" has been improved, the list of document details has been expanded. The mode "Reading the cadastral plan of the territory and updating the map" has been improved, processing of several initial XML files in a streaming mode has been accelerated and automatic updating the image of an updated map was executed. For mapping conditional cadastral objects that do not have a spatial component, the analysis of information about the CsID coordinate system is disabled, since such information is not available.
    In the "Technical plan" dialog, the order of inserting "Floor plan (parts of the floor)" graphic files into Word has been corrected. In dialog "Land survey plan version 6", the formation of AppliedFilePDF element for the "Document on the category of land" and for the "Document on permitted use" has been corrected. Into the task "Cadastral documents" into the mode "Formation of forest declaration" the button "Formation of the text report" based on .DOCX templates has been added. The form of the forest declaration, the procedure for filling and submitting it, the requirements for the format of the forest declaration in electronic form were approved by order of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Ecology of the Russian Federation dated April 29, 2021 N 303. The forest declaration reflects the following information: about the person who filed the forest declaration; on a lease agreement for a forest plot or other document in accordance with which the use of forests is carried out; about the location of the forest area; on the volume of forest use; on the types of use of forests. Input of information for filling the form of the forest declaration is performed by selecting values from a directory and from semantic characteristics of selected objects. Reference information is stored in SQLite database tables.
    The task of connecting geoportals has been improved. The geoportal of the Krasnodar Territory, containing the layers: Administrative territorial division, Contours of fields of agricultural land, Fishing grounds, Vine plantations, has been added to the list of geoportals.
    The task "Classifier editor" has been improved. For the obsolete view of objects with "Mixed" type, the ability to select the parameters of a conventional symbol of the "Vector symbol" view has been added. The view of objects "Mixed" is obsolete and cannot be edited, but it can be supplemented with the "Vector symbol" parameters or completely replaced by it. When updating classifiers, it is recommended to recode the titles of characteristics from the type "Mixed" onto "Vector". For editing semantics of the "Numeric formula" or "Symbol formula" type, the following modes have been updated: adding a formula to the list of classifier formulas, deleting a formula from the list if it is not assigned to semantics, editing existing formulas. The "List of formulas" of the library has been added to the "Libraries" tab. For each type of object described in the library, a list of semantics on which this type depends is added. On the "Objects" tab, a new mode "Copying mark object" has been added, which allows you to create a new object by copying all its properties, but changing the code, symbolic code, key. The "Creating new object" mode has been changed. A new object is created based on the first object available for selection with a new, automatically generated name, code, key and alias.
    Check of vector map has been improved. Correctness of execution of checking a direction of digitization of areal objects depends on correctness of signs of an external/internal contour.
    If the Digitization direction is set for the object as "Object on the right", then the outer contour is digitized clockwise, the inner one - counterclockwise. If the digitization direction is set for the object as "Object on the left", then the outer contour is digitized counterclockwise, the inner one - clockwise. A simple area object must have one outer contour and may have one or more inner contours. A multipolygon must have one or more outer contours and may have one or more inner contours. In both cases, the first contour of the object must be outer. The order of the contours is checked when the "Control of self-crossings and location of subjects" mode is executed. It is more efficient to control and correct the direction of digitization after checking the location of subobjects. Therefore, the check of the digitization direction has been moved from the "Metrics" group to the "Control of self-crossings and location of subjects", which is included into the "Topology" group. At execution of this type of control in the "Edit" mode, a correction of errors location and direction of digitizing the contours is carried out.
    The task "Correction of object metrics" has been improved. The algorithm for splitting multi-objects into separate composite objects has been changed. In the "Translation of names" procedure, the ability to process dictionaries in UTF8 encoding has been added.

  • 25.04.2023 In the Complex for documents preparation of aeronautical information the tools for importing data from exchange ARINC format have been expanded
    In KB "Panorama" the Complex for documents preparation of aeronautical information version 8.1 under control of GIS "Panorama" has been developed. The dialog "Import from format ARINC to database" has been improved in the new version. The mode of creating obstacles by point objects has been added. One point object is created for each coordinate from the ARINC source file. When importing obstacles, information about the presence in the source file of the name and unique identifier of the obstacle is analyzed. If there is no name, the value of the text identifier in the "Own name" field is written into the database and into the semantics of the object.
    In the "Admin panel" dialog, a new "Clear tables" tab has been added, designed to remove obsolete records of the table of obstacles and its subordinate tables of PostgreSQL format.
    The interface of the "Task settings" dialog has been updated. A new parameter "Round semantic values when placing obstacles on the map" has been added. When creating obstacles using the "Output of obstacles", "Output of aerodrome infrastructure" dialogs, it is now possible to fill in the "Absolute height", "Relative height" semantics with a rounding to the nearest (upward) meter or foot (according to ICAO Doc 8697 "Manual on Air Navigation Charts").
    In dialog "Input of aerodrome radio equipment" there is added a mode for maintaining the list of radio technical and radio navigation aids of the aerodrome. The list is automatically generated based on the data entered using the "Input significant points to database" dialog for the selected aerodrome and types of points VOR, DME, VOR/DME.

  • 24.04.2023 Into GIS Constructor the tools of export of digital maps, terrain images and models of heights into vector exchange formats have been improved
    In KB "Panorama" the GIS Constructor for Qt Designer SE version 14.2.4 has been developed. In the new version the saving of digital maps in vector PDF format has been implemented, a type of programmable signs has been added to display bar charts. The list of scripts in the Python language has been expanded, the efficiency of searching and displaying data has been increased by optimizing the allocation of RAM.
    In the program a saving of digital data to a file of vector format PDF has been added. The user can combine a set of open maps, save them in vector PDF format and transfer the resulting file for viewing in original quality at any scale using standard operating system tools. Individual layers can be excluded from the export by means of displaying layers of a map with use of standard functions of MAPAPI interface. Thus, the data of vector maps is saved to a PDF file along with rasters and matrixes of heights loaded into them. Data export can be performed at an arbitrary scale and for an arbitrary map fragment. For example, the user can select a map fragment on a small scale, and output it to a file on a larger scale, and save the image not of the entire work region, but only of its fragment, limited by a rectangular area, a map object, or the size of the current window. The resulting file in vector PDF format preserves the quality of the map image when viewed at any scale, which allows it to be used, for example, when preparing reporting documents.
    New type of programmable signs has been added for displaying bar charts according to the semantics of objects with display in a legend of semantics values (in addition to a sign displaying values in percentage). The description of charts includes a list of codes of semantics corresponding to sectors of the chart. For each semantics the own parameters of displaying a sector are set. For all chart the maximum width and the maximum height of the chart are set. To the right of the diagram its legend is displayed. Texts of lines for signing of sectors are taken from semantics names, excepting repeating part of names. For example, if the semantics are called "Number of inhabitants under 20 years old", "Number of inhabitants from 20 to 40 years old", then the legend will contain the following lines: "up to 20 years old", "from 20 to 40 years old", and so on. The conventional symbol the "Bar chart" is shown in the data example on the map \Data\shape.
    A script has been added into the list of basic python scripts that calculates the distance from the selected object up to several selected objects with recording into the semantics of the calculated value. RAM distribution has been improved when processing large data sets (tens of gigabytes and more than a hundred million objects). The speed of searching and displaying data has been raised.
    GIS Constructor is a set of geoinformation components for use in the visual programming environment of Qt Designer, which allows you to develop your own GIS applications. The visualization of the contents of digital maps is made in conventional symbols adopted for topographic, geographical and various special maps. Geoinformation system has ample opportunities for performing calculations, for providing display of spatial data on various graphic devices in standard and user systems of conventional symbols. The main functions can be executed in multithreaded mode. It supports automatic optimization of used memory for processing large amounts of data (tens of gigabytes) on limited resources (hundreds of megabytes).
    The toolkit is adapted for work on a wide range of operating systems (Astra Linux SE, ALT Linux, Elbrus, Ubuntu, CentOS, QNX) and architectures (Intel, Elbrus, PowerPC, SPARC, ARM). The toolkit includes components of visual designing the GIS applications and library of a multiplatform multithreaded GIS core. GIS Constructor provides a cross-platform MAPAPI interface that allows a programmer to implement development in an operating system convenient for it. The developer can release GIS applications for a set of operating systems by simple assembly with minimal changes to the program source code.

    Specialists of KB "Panorama" have prepared a video lesson on using the "Information about object" mode. The considered mode is available to users in the GIS "Panorama" program.
    This dialog is used to view information about a single object, consisting of one or more parts. The mode displays the distribution of the numerical values of the characteristics over different parts of the object and its general measuring properties. For example, for a highway, the number of lanes, pavement material, speed limit, slope, and other properties may change. Sections of the road, where the properties are constant, can be digitized by separate objects. Different sections can be logically linked into a single road due to the common property the Road number, Own name or Designation.

  • 06.04.2023 In GIS Panorama Mini the tools for integrating databases from various information systems with spatial data have been improved
    In KB "Panorama" the GIS Panorama Mini version 14.5.5 has been developed. In the new version the possibility of requesting the information from databases of external information systems via web protocols has been implemented. Connection of bases of spatial data was simplified. Import and export of DXF format and import of DGN format has been improved. The tools for managing the display of sea maps of the S52 standard have been implemented, taking into account the characteristics of a vessel with a navigation system, the possibilities of using TrueType fonts as the signs for filling polygons or designing linear objects have been expanded. The "Classifier editor" task, which controls the logical structure and classification system of vector map data, has been completely updated. Tools for displaying rasters and matrixes with compression, formations of file PostScript CMYK have been refined. Display of graphics by adding the ability to directly open graphic files has been accelerated.
    The possibility of requesting information from databases of external information systems via web-protocols has been implemented. Connection to external information systems ("1Π‘: Enterprise" and others) allows to use the data from these systems as the additional attributive information for displayed territory. For example, the information base "1C: Enterprise" contains information on accounting objects - land plots and buildings, their lease payments, lease terms, types of permitted use and other indicators that can be displayed in the GIS in logical connection with vector map objects and/or spatial database.
    Access to external information systems is carried out using the HTTP protocol. The response from the system is a data set in XML format, which is provided to the GIS user in the form of a table in a separate dialog box.
    The dialog provides various interactive modes of operation: search on the map for an object corresponding to the current record, and vice versa - search for a record in the table for the current map object; setting filters for displaying data in the table with the ability to select objects on the map that meet the filter conditions; filtering records in the table by selected map objects; viewing the selected table record in a separate dialog box; export of the table to *.csv file and others.
    Link of records of a data set from an external source with map objects is carried out according to the value of the key field and the predefined semantics of the object, which is specified in the settings. For example, information on real estate objects in the 1C database can be associated with map objects by cadastral number.
    A map of land plots and buildings and the configuration of the "1C:Enterprise" information base containing information on these land plots and buildings have been added into the demo data included in the GIS installation. In the configuration of information base a publication has been prepared using the OData protocol for directories and contains an example of program formation of the XML-response to a request to an HTTP service.
    When opening in one session the different maps (DBM-projects) from one spatial database the repeated requests for user authorization are excluded. The diagnostic protocol of connection to a spatial database for the analysis of errors in the data has been refined.
    In the main menu "View" the item "Parameters for displaying nautical maps of the S52 standard" has been added, taking into account the features of the vessel on which the navigation system is installed. When this menu item is selected, a dialog is called up in which you can change the parameters for displaying sea maps: safe depth, safety contour, shoal contour, depth contour, depth gradation, shallow filling, isolated dangers in shallow water, language of displayed titles.
    When importing S57 sea maps, support has been added for datasets with sea map updates (ER profile), which are located in files with extensions 001, 002, 003, and so on.
    Files of updatings should take place together with an initial data set with expansion 000 in one folder or according to structure of folders under standards IHO S57/S63. The update files must be placed together with the source data set with extension 000 in the same folder or in accordance with the structure of folders according to the IHO S57/S63 standards. The names of the source dataset and update files must match.
    In the tasks of export and import of data in the DXF format, a saving and reading of colors of conventional symbols of objects in RGB format has been implemented. The RGB color model covers a wider range of colors and provides the highest color rendering compared to the previously used AutoCAD indexed color palette. Into dialog "Export a map to DXF file" the possibility has been added for customizing a processing of all open maps at enabling the option "Process all maps" that allows you automatically to export the data of each map to a separate DXF file.
    There is added a recalculation of coordinates and sizes of characters from storage units specified in DXF: inches, feet, miles, millimeters, centimeters, meters, and so on. The formation of graphic primitives from the parameters of conventional symbols specified in DXF has been improved, which allows you to reproduce the view of the original drawing without setting the symbols.
    In dialog "Import files from DXF format" the mode "Create a set of maps" has been added which is intended for automatic processing a large number of selected data and creating a separate user map for each DXF file. As a result of the task execution, the list of the generated maps is saved in project MPT.
    In the task "Import of data in DGN format" the possibility has been implemented for creating objects which are described in the source file as a complex chain. As a result, the elements of each chain are transformed into a single object. The dialog interface has been updated to automatically process a lot of selected data and create a separate user map for each DGN file.
    A new version of the "Classifier Editor" task has been developed. In the "General data" tab, information about the composition of the classifier is supplemented by the number of connected libraries with user symbols. There is added the "Translation" tool for translating the names of layers, objects and semantics of the classifier into other languages. Working with color palettes of the classifier is placed on a separate tab "Palette". There is a convenient opportunity to simultaneously view and work with the colors of RGB and CMYK palettes. In the "Objects" tab there are added the tools of search for objects by name, code, symbolical code, a key and other properties through the "Objects Content". In the "Libraries" tab in the tree of user functions for displaying objects, next to the name of the function, the number of types of objects in which it is used has been added. In the "Fonts" tab, the display of the full set of characters of the selected font has been added.
    Possibility of direct opening of graphic files has been implemented without the dialog for converting to RSW through the File-Open menu, for quick access to various terrain images. When graphic files are opened for the first time, a service RSW file is automatically created without copying the image and a TAF file with a pyramid of thumbnails, if they were not in the source file. To work with large images, it is recommended to open files with the image converted to RSW format via menu the File - Import rasters or matrix. This will speed up the display of graphics, allow you to process a large number of files of arbitrary sizes with a limited memory area, and speed up the conversion of image projections on the fly.
    Display of rasters with smoothing has been added. At increase in the image of a raster more than in 2 times from the initial size in pixels a smoothing is carried out. The new display algorithm allows you to get rid of the "pixelation" effect when you increase the rasters. Management of smoothing is carried out via the main menu: View - Enlarged raster with smoothing.
    Formation of file PostScript CMYK file has been refined: accounting for the colors of the palettes of all open maps has been added, processing of gradient fills has been added. PostScript files are created in the map printing dialog, which is called via the main menu: File - Print. To print the map in PostScript, you must select a PostScript-compatible printing device and output type: PostScript RGB or PostScript CMYK.
    The task of connecting geoportals has been improved. For the geoportal of Rosreestr "Land plots", the range of data display scales has been expanded to 1:1 - 1:50 000. To be able to view an overview view, data from larger scales with image compression is requested.
    The algorithm of compression of the data of a matrix of heights has been improved. Functions of optimisation of matrix of heights have been refined: compression of 16-bit data has been added. This algorithm is used when loading a matrix of heights in the following modes: File - Import of rasters or matrix from ... - Matrix of heights (SRTM, GeoTIFF, IMG), GDAL matrix (IMG, DEM ...). To compress previously loaded 16-bit matrixes, select the matrix in the data list and select the "Optimize" item in the context menu (select the "Optimize compressed matrix" mode in the dialog). Usually compressed matrix occupies volume in 5-7 times less than initial volume. Reduction of volume and application of the mechanism of overview images repeatedly accelerates matrix visualisation.
    The task "Adding data from a directory into the document" has been improved. There is added the ability to import matrixes of heights or images from TIFF(GeoTIFF), IMG, KMZ files contained in the selected folder. When the element "Import heights from TIFF, IMG files" is enabled on the form, the control of the program is transferred to the dialog "Import matrixes from SRTM, GeoTIFF formats".
    The digital classifier forestry.v2.rsc, intended for the state inventory of forests, planning economic activities, organizing the protection of forests from fires and forest violations, and other tasks in the field of forestry, has been improved. Changes have been made to generate the XML file of the forest declaration, approved by order of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Ecology of the Russian Federation dated April 29, 2021 N 303. In the classifier are added new semantics for object a forest plot, used at filling of appendices to the wood declaration.
    New semantics have been added into the classifier for the object a forest plot, used when filling out applications to the forest declaration.
    The classifier for maintaining a unified digital cartographic basis (EEKO) for federal, regional, municipal purposes map5000m.rsc has been improved.

  • 05.04.2023 "Workstation of urban planner" forms a building permit in accordance with the requirements of the order of the Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation No. 446/pr
    In KB "Panorama" the "Workstation of urban planner" version 14.5.5 has been developed. The new version implements the filling of the document "Building permit" in accordance with the requirements of the order of the Ministry of Construction and Housing and Communal Services of the Russian Federation dated 03.06.2022 No. 446/pr "On approval of the form of a building permit and permission to put an object into operation." The document is generated for capital construction objects according to the information stored in the database.
    The new form of a building permit includes 8 sections: details of a building permit, information about the developer, information about the capital construction object, information about the land plot, information about project documentation, a typical architectural solution, information about the results of the examination of project documentation and state environmental impact assessment , design characteristics of a capital construction facility, design characteristics of a linear object. For the new form of a building permit, additional attributes for capital construction objects have been added to the urban planning database, and the attributive information of a building permit has been loaded into electronic map objects.
    Saving the created document "Building permit" in the urban planning database has been implemented. To store information about the building permit in the database, standard document attributes are used, and the directory "Subject of the Russian Federation (Region, Republic)" has been added. The document's attributive information is filled in the new dialog "Building permit", which is called from the register of accounting objects or by clicking the "Reporting" button located on the main panel of the complex. The dialog tabs correspond to the sections of the new document form. After filling in the attributive information, you can generate a document in the office suite. Completely blank sections of the form are not included in the document.
    The form of the document is formed on the basis of prepared templates of the dot format. Templates contain a descriptive part and named markers that tell the program where to insert data. The document generation procedure is customizable. The user can modify the template according to different regional and departmental requirements. Between attributes of the building permit and markers in a template there is set the interrelation which is customized in the directory the "List of attributes for type of accounting object". To exchange data with an electronic map in the same directory, each attribute can be assigned any semantic characteristic of the object according to the survey classifier.
    The generated building permit can be saved on disk in doc, docx, pdf formats. If necessary, an electronic copy of the document is loaded into the file storage of the complex's database. In this case, the document file is attached to the list of files of the capital construction object. By means of the "Update semantics on the map" mode, you can load the attributive information of a building permit into an electronic map object. A necessary condition for updating semantics is the existence of a connection between a record in the database and an object on the map. The update procedure can work both with one or several records, and with the entire list of capital construction objects.
    The new version of the program is available for download in the Download section.

  • 31.03.2023 In GIS "Panorama" the new applications have been developed and tools of area analysis have been supplemented
    In KB "Panorama" the GIS "Panorama" version 14.5.5 has been developed. In the new version, tools for working with the layer tree of vector map objects have been expanded, the list of operations for formula-type semantics has been expanded, modes have been added for processing multipolygons, multilines and multipoint objects. New tasks "Calculation of reserves of solid minerals", "Drawing of image on raster" have been implemented, controls for displaying sea charts of the S52 standard have been added, taking into account the features of a vessel with a navigation system, and a block of geodetic and cadastral tasks has been refined. The possibilities of using TrueType fonts as the signs for filling polygons or designing linear objects have been expanded.
    In the "Map Editor" task, the "Splitting a multiobject into simple objects" mode has been added. The mode is intended for splitting objects with complex metric (multipolygons, multilines, multipoint objects) into simple objects of appropriate localization. To process several objects, you must first select objects using the search and selection dialog, or using interactive modes: by area, by type of selected object, and others.
    The mode "Auto shapes - Form a quarter in the city" has been improved. The ability to process multipolygons has been added, the points of the template (cutter) have been matched with the points of new objects created as a result of processing. The list of operations for semantics of the "numerical formula" type and for the mode "Calculations on semantics of selected objects" in the Map editor task has been expanded. There is added the operation "%" - Modulo division. The operation can be used, for example, when you need to get the last few numbers of some identifier for different semantics and signature text: 73025679 % 10000 = 5679.
    The dialogs "Map contents" and "Map object search" have been improved. On the "Layers" tab, the ability to set the availability of classes in the conditions for displaying/searching for objects has been added. Classes are layers of lower level which together with base layers form a multilevel tree of layers. The division of objects into layers and classes makes it possible to describe the classification of objects of any hierarchy. For change of availability of a layer or a class it is necessary to press the left mouse button on the status icon of the chosen element or press the space bar. For the convenience of a finding the necessary layer/class, a search by partial coincidence of the name has been added. To move to the next or previous search result, you can use the "arrow up" and "arrow down" keys, as well as the corresponding modes next to the search line. The search line is activated using the key combination "Ctrl+F".
    Into the list of applications, the task "Drawing of image on raster" has been added, which is intended for updating a part of an image of a raster tablet. During the execution of the task, a raster is created by copying the source file with the subsequent updating the selected area with an image of another raster that is part of the document. The characteristics of the output raster with the updated image (geospatial binding, element size in meters on the ground) will fully correspond to the parameters of the source raster. The task is intended for use in the technology of updating raster tablets in spatial data collections. The task is run from the "Run Applications" dialog in the "Transforming rasters" group.
    In the main menu "View" the item "Parameters for displaying nautical maps of the S52 standard" has been added, taking into account the features of the vessel on which the navigation system is installed. When you select this menu item, a dialog opens in which you can change the parameters for displaying sea maps: safe depth, safety contour, shoal contour, depth contour, depth gradation, shoal filling, isolated hazards in shallow water, the language of the displayed titles. The made changes are saved in the main ini-file of the application and are automatically applied to a current session of the user.
    "Complex of 3D analysis" has been improved, designed to create surface models and solve problems of spatial analysis using the constructed models. The task "Calculation of reserves of solid minerals" has been added into the "Prognosis" panel. The task is designed to assess the reserves of minerals in a warehouse, or mineral resources in the development of deposits by open pit. The task calculates the volume and weight of a mineral within the selected area of calculation using the matrix of heights of the surface of the selected area of the warehouse or deposit on the ground.
    The type of mineral for calculation is specified in the "Minerals" list. There is a possibility of changing the volumetric weight of the selected mineral, and also possibility of addition and deleting of the list elements.
    The matrix of absolute heights determines the surface's configuration of the calculation area. The resulting volume is calculated within the specified calculation area using the surface's heights of the selected area and the heights of the bottom level of the mineral. The height of the lower level can be set in the corresponding field or using the "Select point on map" button. By default the value of a step is equal to the size of an element of elevations matrix of a surface of the selected area. If necessary, the calculation step can be changed. The calculation area is set using the buttons in the "Calculation area" group. As the calculation area, you can select: all region, a rectangular area, a contour of an object, and an arbitrary contour.
    "Classifier Editor" has been improved. In the "Fonts" tab, the display of the full set of characters of the selected font has been added. This feature allows you to evaluate the style and completeness of the font - the presence of digital characters, characters of Latin, Cyrillic and other language groups, as well as signs of symbolic fonts. The dialog for editing a vector symbol has been improved. When entering text elements of a symbol, the ability to select font characters that are not available on the keyboard has been added. Symbolic font characters are selected using the "Symbol from TrueType Font" dialog. To increase the information content of the table of elements of the symbol, the display of the font name of the text element has been added. Vector symbols can be used as independent elements for displaying conventional map symbols or as design elements: when filling areal one with symbols regularly and in a checkerboard pattern, when displaying vector symbols by points of contours metrics, vector symbols along contours or set of elements from various alternating vector symbols.
    Module "Geodesy editor" has been improved. The procedure for calling interactive help on using the program has been changed, the help system sections have been updated. For the group of modes "Well calculations", a demo example of data has been updated, providing the constructing a 3D view of a bush of wells. Using the "Building a three-dimensional map" mode allows you to visually analyze the intersection of the boreholes of one or more bushes.
    Module "Cadastral documents" has been improved. In the dialog of the mode "Correction of registry errors", on the page "General information", as well as in section 2.1 of the report, the "Name of the federal state budgetary institution subordinate to the registration authority" has been replaced with the PPK "Roskadastr". The change was made in connection with the reorganization of the Federal State Budgetary Institution "FKP Rosreestr" into the public law company "Roskadastr". Changes have been made in the report template in section 2.1, instead of "Name of the federal state budgetary institution subordinate to the registration authority" is indicated "Name of the branch the PPK "Roskadastr". The "Forest declaration" mode has been improved. Record into the xml document of the value "w\n" has been corrected. An extra column has been removed from the "Appendix 2 (stuff)" table, which is not used either when exporting to xml or to docx. In the "Lands survey plan version 6" mode, to write the information of the attached image of the document about the category of land in pdf format into the XML document, the recording of the AppliedFilePDF element is implemented instead of AppliedFile. When specifying the boundaries of land plots, there is corrected an error of search and an insert of number (name) of a point and recording the coordinates with the OldOrdinate and NewOrdinate pairs, if position of a characteristic point is specified.

  • 14.03.2023 "Workstation of cadastral engineer" has been improved by results of cooperation with representatives of public law company "Roskadastr"
    In KB "Panorama" the "Workstation of cadastral engineer" version 14.5.4 has been developed. In the new version in the "Cadastral documents" module, based on the materials of cooperation with representatives of the public law company "Roskadastr", the "Correction of registry errors" mode has been improved. The procedure for forming a text report on the correction of registry errors has been changed and the form of the report template has been updated. When generating cadastral documents in the form of text reports and XML files, an analysis of characteristic boundary points has been added, taking into account their belonging to a specific object of cadastral works. The analysis of point objects in the points of the metrics of cadastral objects is performed taking into account the identification semantics the Cadastral or Registry number. This allows for adjacent cadastral objects with common border sections to use different sets of point objects - characteristic points of the borders.
    The "Land survey plan" and "Technical plan" modes have been improved taking into account the new algorithm for analyzing the characteristic points of the borders. The designation of a characteristic point or part of the border, information about the root-mean-square error in determining the coordinates of the point, fixing on the ground and other characteristics of the point is filled in taking into account the identification semantics of the object of cadastral works and adjacent cadastral objects. The formation of the ObjectsRealty element the "Information about real estate objects located on the formed/modified land plot" has been improved in terms of recording the additional elements ApartHouse "Apartment building" and PropertyComplex "Enterprise as a property complex (PIC)". To enter the necessary information about real estate objects located on a land plot, the mode "Editing the attributes of object of cadastral works" has been improved. When editing the item "Buildings constructions (list)", a dialog is called for entering the values of four repeatable semantics, including "Attribute of an apartment building" and "Attribute of an enterprise as a property complex".
    In the module "Geodetic editor" the mode "route Calibration" is updated. Calibration of linear object by data from file CSV is realised. In a mode "Filling the report for the object" is realised a rounding off of geodetic co-ordinates to 10 signs after a decimal point. On a position of marker ROW01 the insert of geodetic co-ordinates WGS-84 from object of a map - a forest plot binding is realised. The search for the binding object is performed automatically, and it is mapped in advance and the necessary identification semantics, the Number of the cutting area, are filled for it.
    The new version of the program is available on the website in the Download section.

  • 10.03.2023 In professional vectorizer "Panorama-editor" the tools of creating and updating of topographical and special maps have been improved
    In KB "Panorama" the professional vectorizer "Panorama Editor" version 14.5.4 has been developed. In the new version, the "Classifier editor" task, which controls the logical structure and classification system of data of vector maps, has been updated. Editing tools of topographical and special maps have been improved. Tools of preparation of reports, processing of heights matrixes have been updated. The tools for forming a forest declaration in digital format (XML) and creating cadastral maps have been supplemented.
    In the program the modes of "Map Editor" task have been updated. The mode "Cut list", which is included into the "Cut and combine" group, has been improved. The new algorithm performs the cutting not only areal, but also linear objects (according to the list of reference objects). By default, response points are saved in the reference objects created at the intersection of the contours of the reference and edited (cut) objects. This method of processing allows you to save the topology of the metrics of cut objects with reference ones.
    The "Common points" mode on the "Topology" panel has been improved. For the convenience of analyzing the consistency of the contours of two arbitrary objects, common points, mismatched points and intersection points of the contours are displayed in different colors. A message is displayed on the screen with the numbers of objects and the number of common points and intersection points of the contours.
    The task "Creation of titles by objects semantics" has been improved, taking into account the processing of multipolygons selected on the map. When the control "Sign all objects included in the multipolygon" is disabled, the label is generated only for the main contour of the multipolygon in accordance with the dialog settings, otherwise all external contours of the multipolygon are signed.
    The task "View map control log" has been improved, designed to analyze the results of the execution of programs for control and editing of a vector map. To improve the convenience of editing the object metrics, the "Automatic selection" option has been added. When viewing inspection results and selecting an option on the map, the current message list object is automatically selected. This eliminates additional operator actions for selecting an object on the map and allows you to quickly switch to the Map Editor modes: Edit point, Delete object, Delete subobject and others.
    A new version of the "Classifier Editor" task has been developed. In the "General data" tab, information about the composition of the classifier is supplemented by the number of connected libraries with user symbols. There is added the "Translation" tool for translating the names of layers, objects and semantics of the classifier into other languages. Working with color palettes of the classifier is placed on a separate tab "Palette". There is a convenient opportunity to simultaneously view and work with the colors of RGB and CMYK palettes. Adjusting the arrangement of colors in the palette table allows you to arrange them with the greatest convenience for editing. For each color, the number of views of classifier's objects that use this color is shown. This makes it possible to quickly see unused colors in the palette. The new tool "Move color to unused space" allows to reduce the size of a palette if necessary. In the "Layers" tab, a mode has been added to view all layers together with their classes in the form of a tree. The "Classes" tool allows you to add and edit classes for the selected layer.
    In the "Objects" tab there are added the tools of search for objects by name, code, symbolical code, a key and other properties through the "Objects Content". In the "Scale" sub-tab a possibility of entering an arbitrary denominator of scale for the bottom and top ranges of visibility of object has been added. In the "Properties" subtab, the properties of the object "Design object" and "Polygon with a point" have been added. The tool "Creating and editing a series of objects" has been updated. Object properties: layer, class, visibility, additional object properties ("Properties" tab) - can be changed for all objects in the series at once or for one selected object. The "Clusters" tab has been added to describe the signs of clusters that display densely spaced point signs. The tab selects the views of objects related to each type of cluster, the cell sizes vertically and horizontally, the semantics code for specifying the current number of objects in the cluster, the view of cluster sign, the limiting percentage of increasing the size of the cluster sign and the limiting number of objects corresponding to the maximum size of the cluster sign.
    In the "Libraries" tab in the tree of user functions for displaying objects, next to the name of the function, the number of types of objects in which it is used has been added. When a function is selected in the object table, all views of objects that use this function are displayed in the right part of the tab.
    Also tools for conducting a tree of layers of objects have been updated. In each layer of top level the tree of objects classes can be created. Classes are layers of lower level which together with layers form a multilevel tree of layers. The division of objects into layers and classes makes it possible to describe the classification of objects of any hierarchy. Into the table of kinds of objects on all tabs, switching of objects view from printer to the screen and vice versa has been added. Thus, you can immediately evaluate the components of the parameters of the object view and their changes.
    In the "Automated generalization of topographic maps" task, the "Formation of passages in settlements" mode has been improved, which creates additional passages on the map in the intervals between neighboring quarters and sides of streets. Quality of formation of passages has been improved. The unacceptable intersections of the created passage with map objects have been eliminated. The shape of passages located along quarters of complex shape has been improved. When creating a passage, the proximity of the passage's points to its source objects (quarter, side of the street) is checked. If the passage points are closer than the junction threshold, then the creation of the passage is not performed.
    The "Report Designer" task has been improved. In a mode "Legend Formation" the possibility has been added for automatic addition of the created legend onto a map of the report in the form of a map insert or an insert of the image depending on the chosen format of the saved legend.
    The task "Export of matrix of heights into TIFF and KMZ file" has been improved. There is added a recording into the output file of the parameters of vertical coordinate system created in accordance with system of heights of an initial matrix. The name of the vertical coordinate system, units of measure of the heights containing in a file, and other parameters are stored in file GeoTIFF. For example: "Baltic 1977 height (EPSG:5705)", "MSL height (EPSG : 5714)", "WGS 84 (geographic 3D) (EPSG : 4327)".
    The task "Adding data from a directory into the document" has been improved. There is added the ability to import matrixes of heights or images from TIFF(GeoTIFF), IMG, KMZ files contained in the selected folder. When the element "Import heights from TIFF, IMG files" is enabled on the form, the control of the program is transferred to the dialog "Import matrixes from SRTM, GeoTIFF formats".
    The module "Cadastral documents" has been improved. New mode "Formation of forest declaration in electronic format (XML) with annexes" has been added. The form of the forest declaration, the procedure for filling out and submitting it, the requirements for the format of the forest declaration in electronic form were approved by the order of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Ecology of the Russian Federation dated April 29, 2021 N 303. Formation of the forest declaration is carried out for selected objects of the map - forest areas. The map is created using the forestry.v2 digital classifier. Entering information for filling the forest declaration form is performed by selecting values from the reference book and from the semantic characteristics of the selected objects. Reference information is stored in SQLite database tables.
    In the "Reading the cadastral plan of the territory and updating the map" mode, there is corrected the order of reading information about the spatial component in the XML file. The "Correction of registry errors" mode has been refined based on feedback materials from representatives of the FCP. The order of formation of the text report has been changed and the templates have been updated. There is improved the module for saving into the XML document of the land survey plan version 9 of the ObjectsRealty element - Information about real estate objects located on the formed/modified land plot for recording additional elements the ApartHouse - Apartment building and PropertyComplex - Enterprise as a property complex (PIC).
    The module "Geodesy editor" has been improved. A new mode "Shortening the line (input distance)" has been developed. The mode provides cutting from a linear object at the beginning (or at the end) of a segment of a specified length. The "Route calibration" mode has been updated. Calibration of a linear object based on data from a CSV file has been implemented.
    The new version of the program is available for download in the Download section.

  • 08.03.2023 Mobile GIS "Panorama Mobile" for domestic Aurora OS supports work with pyramids of tiles of spatial data in offline mode
    In KB "Panorama" the GIS "Panorama Mobile" version 1.1 has been developed for the Aurora OS. In the new version the possibility of opening the pyramids of tiles in Mbtiles format has been added, the interface of display of a map has been improved, display of current position on a map in the most common coordinate systems and various formats of representation has been implemented.
    The Mbtiles format has been added into the list of formats supported by the application, designed to store a complete set of image layers of spatial data for the selected scale series. Using a set of tiles in a mobile application provides the display of spatial data containing a large number of objects or occupying large amounts of data in offline mode. The data can be prepared in advance for the required area in the GIS "Panorama" or Imagery Creator. To create pyramids of tiles, a combination of digital vector maps, space and aerial photography, elevation matrixes, data from geoportals (for example, Yandex or OpenStreetMap) can be used.
    Possibility has been added for selecting the coordinate system and and format of representation for displaying the position on the map. Regardless of the type of used map, the user can set the most suitable display parameters from among the popular coordinate systems: SK-42, WGS-84 and PZ-90.11. Rectangular (meters) and geodetic (radians, degrees, degrees/minutes/seconds) units of measurement can be used as a format for representing coordinates. This possibility, together with the use of a geonavigation data receiver (GPS/GLONASS), allows you to get the current location in a more informative form. The received coordinates can be copied to the clipboard of the device and used for transmission or further processing.
    GIS "Panorama Mobile" allows you to open the main formats of digital maps of GIS "Panorama" and popular geoportals on mobile devices based on the Aurora OS, to process information from the built-in GPS/GLONASS receiver. The user can prepare in advance a necessary set of spatial data in one of desktop products (GIS "Panorama", Panorama-editor, GIS Panorama Mini) and to transfer it into the mobile GIS "Panorama Mobile". The process of working with data is carried out autonomously, without connecting to the Internet. When the user moves, his current position is dynamically displayed according to the coordinates obtained from the GPS/GLONASS receiver. For ease of use, it is possible to synchronize the position of the map with the current location. To save the coordinates obtained during movement, a track recording mode is provided, which creates a separate map and puts the trajectory of movement onto it. For all objects of a map during the work the basic information is provided . The program is developed on the basis of the GIS Constructor toolkit, which provides components for creating mobile applications for working with digital maps in the C++ programming language using the Qt.

  • 04.03.2023 In GIS "Panorama" the tools of analysing spatial databases in the form of 3D models and digital terrain maps have been updated
    In KB "Panorama" the GIS "Panorama" version 14.5.4 has been developed. In the new version a connection of spatial databases has been simplified, support of a tree of layers in the Classifier Editor has been added, controlling the relief's form on 3D model was improved. The tools of the "Map Editor" and "Preparation for printing" tasks have been supplemented, the tools for constructing passages in settlements in the "Automated generalization of topographical maps" task have been improved, and the tools for preparing cadastral documents have been expanded.
    When opening different maps in one session (DBM-projects) from the same spatial database the repeated requests for user authorization are excluded. The diagnostic protocol of connecting to a spatial database has been refined to analyze data errors. For minimizing errors of entering the database connection parameters, control of admissible values has been improved and the lists for choosing admissible parameters have been added.
    In the "Map Editor" task, the "Common points" mode on the "Topology" panel has been improved. For the convenience of analyzing the consistency of the contours of two arbitrary objects, common points, mismatched points and intersection points of the contours are displayed in different colors. A pop-up message is displayed on the screen with the numbers of objects and the number of common points and intersection points of the contours. The message is stored in the protocol of the program work session.
    The task "View map control log" of the map editor has been improved, designed to analyze the results of the execution of programs for control and editing of a digital vector map. To improve the convenience of editing the object metrics, the "Automatic selection" option has been added. When viewing inspection results and selecting an option on the map, the current message list object is automatically selected. This eliminates additional operator actions for selecting an object on the map and allows you to quickly switch to the Map Editor modes: Edit point, Delete object, Delete subobject and others.
    Ability has been added for the directly open graphic files without dialog of conversion to RSW via the File - Open menu, for quick access to various terrain images. When graphic files are opened for the first time, a service RSW file is automatically created without copying the image and a TAF file with a pyramid of reduced images, if they were not in the original file. To work with large images, it is recommended to open files with converting of image to RSW format via the menu File - Import rasters and matrix. This will speed up the display of graphics, allow you to process a large number of files of arbitrary sizes with a limited memory area, and speed up the conversion of image projections on the fly.
    In the "Classifier editor" task, tools for maintaining a tree of object layers have been updated. In each top-level layer, a tree of object classes can be created. Classes are lower-level layers that, together with layers, form a layered tree of layers. The division of objects into layers and classes makes it possible to describe the classification of objects of any hierarchy. There is added the ability to number classes automatically in the form of layer sub-items or using class keys that are entered by the user and can have special numeric and alphabetic class designations. Into the table of objects view on all bookmarks a switching of the view of objects from printer to the screen view and vice versa has been added. On the "Objects" tab, switching occurs when you select the "Printer" or "Display" object view parameters bookmarks. Thus, you can immediately evaluate the components of the parameters of the object display and their changes.
    In the "Navigator 3D" task, a change in the relief scale for the entire surface of the model of the displayed area has been added. For the "map" type surface view, the display of matrixes has been added in the form that is configured in the two-dimensional display window of data (color, grayscale, shadows only). These changes make it possible to better assess the relief of the area under consideration. Small bumps in the terrain become more pronounced when the scale of the terrain is increased to 800% and the display of elevation matrixes in the shadows is added. Thus, it is possible to assess the difficulty of passing the route being laid, the convenience of observing the terrain, the possibility of building extended objects (cable networks and pipelines).
    The task "Preparation for printing" has been improved. Placement of filling characters on the polygon with control over imposition on other conventional characters or signatures was automated. If at the calculated point of placement of the filling character, another character falls into the dimensions of the sign, then the filling character at this point is not recorded. For those types of signs with which the intersection is allowed, an exclusion filter is set. For example, a filling sign of the meadow can be placed on top of horizontals or polygons with a white background, and so on. To design the corresponding types of objects for publication in the classifier, the display of filling signs on electronic maps is disabled, or filling signs applied over the entire surface are removed, and placement is performed taking into account the intersection with other conventional signs. To automate the process of preparing for publication, the procedure for placing signs with the appropriate settings is included in the general design scenario of the published map sheet.
    Procedure of scenario "Contours simplification on turn" has been added. The procedure allows you to replace the view of a contour section on a bend or turn with a simpler one. The elements of the contour, which is displayed using a typesetting line that includes vector signs, may overlap at the places of bending or turning, which impairs visual perception. For example, objects of the "Earth сliffs" type are displayed on the map using a dashed line. In narrow sections of the contour, strokes can intersect with each other. The procedure "Contours simplification on turn" searches for fragments of the contour where elements are superimposed, and replaces the appearance of the contour in these sections with the one specified in the scenario. By running this procedure, the user can, for example, replace the type of objects of the type "Earth cliffs" at bends or turns with the type "Edge of ravine, washout", which is displayed on the map using a simple line without dashes.
    In the "Automated generalization of topographic maps" task, the "Formation of passages in settlements" mode has been improved, which creates additional passages on the map in the intervals between neighboring quarters and sides of streets. Quality of formation of passages has been improved. The unacceptable intersections of the created passage with map objects have been eliminated. Improved the shape of passages located along quarters of complex shape. When creating a passage, the proximity of the passage points to its source objects (quarter, side of the street) is checked. If the passage points are closer than the junction threshold, then the creation of the passage is not performed.
    The module "Geodesy editor" has been improved. The "Route calibration" mode has been updated. Calibration of a linear object based on data from a CSV file has been implemented. In the "Filling out the report for the object" mode, the rounding of geodetic coordinates to 10 decimal places is implemented. Onto the position of the ROW01 marker, there is implemented the insertion of geodetic coordinates WGS-84 from the map object - the binding of the forest area. The search for the binding object is performed automatically, and it is mapped in advance and the necessary identification semantics, the Number of the cutting area, are filled for it.
    The module "Cadastral documents" has been improved. In the "Reading the cadastral plan of the territory and updating the map" mode, there is corrected the order of reading information about the spatial component in the XML file. If there is no description of the individual contours of the cadastral object, then the processing of the metric and the formation of the object on the map is not performed. The "Correction of registry errors" mode has been refined based on feedback materials from representatives of the FCP. The order of formation of the text report has been changed and the templates have been updated. There is improved the module for saving into the XML document of the land survey plan version 9 of the ObjectsRealty element - Information about real estate objects located on the formed/modified land plot for recording additional elements the ApartHouse - Apartment building and PropertyComplex - Enterprise as a property complex (PIC). When editing the item Buildings constructions (list), a dialog is called to enter the values of four repeatable semantics. Into the semantics of the "Sign of an apartment building" you need to write the text Yes, if the property is an apartment building. Into semantics the "Sign of enterprise as a property complex", you need to write the text Yes, if the land plot (property right to the land plot) is a part of the PIC). In the "Land survey plan" mode, when forming an XML document, the algorithm for forming the SpecifyRelatedParcel element has been changed for the case of clarifying the description of coordinates of an adjacent section of the ChangeBorder boundaries. An analysis of point objects has been added, taking into account their belonging to a specific object of cadastral works. "Correction of registry errors" mode has been improved. Analysis of point objects in the points of the metric of cadastral objects has been added, taking into account identification semantics. Now you can use different sets of characteristic points for adjacent objects with a common section of borders. At the same time, the names of characteristic points should be unique only within one cadastral object. Filling the text report and XML file has been refined, taking into account the new algorithm for analyzing characteristic points. When forming an XML document of the land survey plan, in the ExistParcel/RelatedParcels element "Information about land plots adjacent to the specified land plot", the value of the Definition attribute "Designation of a characteristic point or part of the border" is filled in taking into account the search for characteristic points, taking into account the identification semantics of the adjacent land plot.

The performance of processing and displaying information has been improved with a large (tens of thousands) number of records in the field passport database. Support of providers of access to the attributive data has been expanded and their loading at the time of program start has been accelerated. The help system has been updated and translated into a web-format. The tools for statistical data analysis and designing of farmland maps are built-in.
    The new version supports tools of statistical data analysis. A type of programmable signs has been added into the agro10t.rsc classifier for displaying diagrams by semantics of objects. The diagram description includes a list of codes of semantics corresponding to sectors and/or columns of the diagram. Semantics are filled for a contour of an agricultural land. For example, requirement for nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, acidity degree, humus content and others. The diagrams are updated automatically when the values of the characteristics of the work area change. Diagrams, together with the change in the color of the working area, can be used to visualize the state of agricultural land.
    Support of service semantics influencing the size and color of a conventional sign, taking into account type of objects has been added. For example, for titles, in addition to the color, font type and height are available. By changing the values of the semantics of an object through the "Select Object" dialog, you can give individual features to the conventional signs of various objects, for example, change the color of the line or the background color of the polygon.
    The licensing mechanism has been updated. Into the "About" window the information on the licence was added: number, type and expiration date of the license, as well as the expiration date of technical support.
    GIS "Panorama AGRO" is designed to automate the management of the farming system of enterprises. The system allows you to create and edit the boundaries and attributes of agricultural land, plan agrotechnical activities, prepare tasks for drivers and machine operators, calculate indicators of actual performed works, and generate relevant reports.
    In addition to the GIS "Panorama AGRO", the range of programs for agriculture includes "Workstation of agronomist" and GIS WebServer AGRO. Professional GIS "Panorama" is intended for preparing cartographic data. Storage, protection and authorized access are provided by the GIS Server. Programs are fully compatible at the level of data.

  • 01.03.2023 GIS WebServer SE allows to update quickly socio-economic maps placed on municipal and regional geoportals
    In KB "Panorama" the GIS WebServer SE version 6.11.0 has been developed for operating systems Astra Linux, CentOS, Ubuntu, MS Windows. In the new version the map editing tools have been improved, possibilities of work with a map legend have been expanded, the administration module has been improved.
    The mode of group editing of objects has been updated in the Map Editor. For several objects selected on the map, you can perform the operation of moving, rotating or scaling. Group editing is performed in one step, which allows you to quickly make changes into the map and reduces editing time. The user can cancel a group operation on objects. As a result of the undo, all objects that have been changed will be restored. Cancelling and restoring operations of editing is carried out on the basis of the transaction log operated by a request to the server. Into the Map Legend component a fast search of objects has been added, legend contents can be viewed as the list of objects or in a hierarchical view. In the map window there is added a display of the cursor coordinates in various units - meters, degrees, radians of a current projection of a map. The choice of cursor coordinate units (meters, degrees, radians) is performed in the Options component.
    GIS WebServer SE is used in the construction of closed corporate systems to ensure the protection of data having a security classification or a trade secret. The program is certified by the 2nd level of control over the absence of undeclared capabilities. GIS WebServer SE is implemented using the GIS WebToolKit SE, which can be used in development tools that use the JavaScript and TypeScript.
    On the basis of GIS WebServer SE and other server products of KB "Panorama" the Regional GIS of the Ryazan region (RGIS RО) has been implemented. RGIS RО is a specialized multifunctional geoportal, the interactive capabilities of which provide access to reliable information about objects of various categories.

  • 25.02.2023 A new version of GIS Constructor for Astra Linux Special Edition is aimed at certification in the information security certification system of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation
    Specialists of KB "Panorama" have prepared the GIS Constructor version 14.2.3 for Astra Linux Special Edition. The new version is aimed at certification in the information security certification system of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation for level 2 of control of the absence of undeclared capabilities in accordance with the governing document of the State Technical Commission of Russia and for the compliance of real and declared functionality in the documentation.
    In the program a support of the packed formats of spatial data (MAPZ, SITZ, MPTZ) has been added. The volume of the packed data is reduced approximately in 3 times in comparison with volume of the initial data with the maximum accuracy of the metrics. If the map sheet is located in memory entirely it is unpacked in a multi-threaded mode when opening the data of sheet to speed up access. The packed MPTZ project is an archive of spatial data containing a complex representation of the territory in the form of vector maps of different levels of detail, rasters (terrain images) in RSW format, matrixes of heights and matrixes of quality characteristics of the terrain, insets from the same data, the links to data from the GIS Server and from geoportals by various protocols. The packaged MPTZ project is supported in the KB "Panorama" software products on all platforms, including mobile devices.
    The toolkit allows you to implement in the developed GIS applications a direct connection to large spatial databases (millions of records) by using the support of DBM format. Information from the database is displayed in the form of vector maps of the area. GIS application will be able to simultaneously edit the contents of databases connected directly and through the GIS Server, carry out exchange of information between different databases, agree the coordinates and attributes of objects in different databases, jointly display information from different databases in the form of graphic layers, combine data with images , matrixes of heights, vector maps and data from various geoportals and web services. Spatial information from the database is displayed in the form of cartographic conventional symbols, which makes the editing process transparent for the user. The set of displayed and edited objects and their semantic characteristics can be flexibly specified using an SQL query.
    In GIS Constructor a support of digital sea maps of IHO S63 standard has been implemented. An application system developer can add support for the standard into own application and register the application in the prescribed manner for obtaining a developer key. Files of data of a sea map will be transformed to the project of maps (MPT) containing a list of SITX files coded by a key of record from the user's permission. More detailed information is given in the document "Programmer's guide".
    An automatic clustering algorithm is implemented to divide a set of point signs into groups and display them. Cluster descriptions are contained in the map classifier. The conventional sign of the cluster can be programmable, which allows you to select the type of cluster in various ways and change the properties of the sign depending on the number of objects in the cluster (signature of the number, size of the sign, brightness). When grouping more than one object of a given type in a virtual cell of a cluster, their conventional symbols will be automatically replaced by a symbol of the cluster, the center of which will have the average coordinate of the objects included into it. When you change the scale, the configuration of the clusters automatically changes.
    The new version adds a mechanism for converting projections of raster and matrix data on the fly. The user gets the opportunity to combine an arbitrary set of spatial data without additional actions. The projection parameters will be automatically converted to the projection of the first opened map. In this case, all the necessary changes will be made in the RAM, which allows you to keep the original cartographic material unchanged. Over the obtained data set you can perform operations of updating, calculation, building a three-dimensional model.
    There is accelerated an opening and first display of maps due to the formation of the "*.sol" file with a tree of territorial distribution of objects onto each sheet of the map. When the map is opened, the object tree is read and the first display is accelerated by 5-15 times (for a map with 2 million objects, the opening and first display is accelerated from 9-12 seconds to 1 second). In the absence of the "*.sol" file, the automatic construction of a tree and file saving are carried out.
    The mechanism for displaying dynamic objects on the map has been improved. Now the typical task of displaying the trajectory of an object on the map can be solved by simply changing the coordinates of the object and the angle of rotation in its characteristics.
    Display of rasters with smoothing has been added. At increasing the image of a raster more than in two times from the initial size in pixels the smoothing is carried out. The new algorithm of display allows to get rid of "pixelization" effect when you increase the rasters. Image smoothing is performed by bicubic interpolation method (by 16 nearest raster elements).
    Abilities of displaying titles have been expanded. New properties of design the titles allow to mark the title by a shade, outline, a background and a frame, and also to format the text taking into account a spacing sign (an insert of spaces) and the chosen register (uppercase, lowercase, as in a sentence). There is added the ability to change the thickness of solid and dashed contours of objects by the value of the service semantics "Line thickness in mm" (31005). To display various tabular information on the map, a new graphic symbol "Table" has been developed. To display the table in the desired position, a point object is created that has a link to the CSV file in the semantics and a conventional symbol of the "Table" type.
    API in Python language is included into GIS Constructor that provides access to several thousand functions of the MAPAPI-interface for spatial data analysis, automation of processes of creating and updating digital terrain models. There are several options for using scripts as part of a GIS application: a visual component of designing, a program interface of a call from the C/C++ language, direct writing and execution of Python scripts. Due to the fact that the Python scripting programming language has a large set of connected modules, the user receives an easy-to-use and extensive auxiliary toolkit (mathematical calculations, processing of text and graphic data, work with a network and another) when creating a GIS application.
    In the new version, support for 3D spatial data tiles in the DB3D format has been added into the graphic component of displaying a three-dimensional terrain model. This will allow you to display accurate and realistic 3D models of unlimited size. The DB3D format is designed to store and display pyramids of 3D tiles packaged with metadata tables in SQLite format. Vector 3D tiles can be used to build a 3D terrain model in conjunction with other data sources: vector maps, space and aerial photographs, geoportals, point clouds, elevation matrixes.
    In the new version the mechanism of reading files of digital maps in an exchange format (MIF/MID, TXF and others) has been improved. As a result, large files (for example, TXF larger than 4 GB) with incorrect characters may be imported. In this case, the erroneous sections will be skipped, and the import will continue. Into the list of supported formats JSON has been added, consisting of records of objects coordinates. Support of XML files having the size larger than 4 GB has been added. XML format processing is used in a wide range of tasks in the development of GIS applications (for example, importing data in GML format).
    Support for layers from the Rosreestr geoportal has been added: Cadastral okrug, Cadastral districts, Cadastral quarters, Land plots, Land plots put up for auction, Red lines, Unified real estate complexes. Geoportal provides data in vector tile form in pbf (Protocolbuffer Binary Format) format. The data contains the coordinates of objects, signatures of plots, semantic characteristics.
    Parameters for connecting to geoportals can be flexibly configured for each user by editing the wmslist_ru.xml file. The new version of the program is adapted to work in the OS "Astra Linux Special Edition" release "Smolensk" version 1.7.
    GIS Constructor is a set of components for use in the visual programming environment of Qt Designer, which allows you to develop your own GIS applications. The visualization of the contents of digital maps is made in conventional symbols adopted for topographic, geographical and various special maps. Geoinformation system has ample opportunities for performing calculations, for providing display of spatial data on various graphic devices in standard and user systems of conventional symbols. The main functions can be executed in multithreaded mode. It supports automatic optimization of used memory for processing large amounts of data (tens of gigabytes) on limited resources (hundreds of megabytes).
    The toolkit is adapted for work on a wide range of operating systems (Astra Linux SE, ALT Linux, Elbrus, Ubuntu, CentOS, QNX) and architectures (Intel, Elbrus, PowerPC, SPARC, ARM). The toolkit includes components of visual designing the GIS applications and library of a multiplatform multithreaded GIS core. GIS Constructor provides a cross-platform MAPAPI interface that allows a programmer to implement development in an operating system convenient for it. The developer can release GIS applications for a set of operating systems by simple assembly with minimal changes to the program source code.

  • 23.02.2023 In GIS "Operator" for OS "Astra Linux Special Edition" and OS "Alt 8 SP" the tools of studying the terrain and processing spatial data have been improved
    In KB "Panorama" the GIS "Operator" version 14.2.5 has been developed for OS "Astra Linux Special Edition" (Release "Smolensk"), OS "Alt 8 SP" (architecture x86-64) and RED OS. In the new version, the ability to control the selection of map objects has been added, the task of importing DXF format data has been improved. Tools of map editing have been expanded, a type of programmable signs has been added to display bar charts, the list of scripts in the python language has been expanded, the efficiency of searching and displaying data has been increased by optimizing the allocation of RAM.
    The task "Highlight any area" has been improved. Changing the conditions for selecting objects selected by area has been simplified. The selection of objects by area is performed using the "Select inside the object" and "Select by any area" modes (polygon, rectangular fragment, lasso). At the end of drawing the area on the map, objects located inside the selected area are highlighted. To change the selection conditions, press the right mouse button and select one of the modes in the context menu: Highlight inside (delete intersection), Highlight with intersection (and inside), Highlight outside (delete intersection).
    Marking of objects on the map according to various search conditions has been improved. If clusters are displayed on the map (generalized signs of closely spaced objects specified in the classifier), then the corresponding signs of clusters are displayed and marked, taking into account the number of signs and their location on the map.
    The composition of the "Map Editor" task has been extended. In the "Point editing" mode, the "End points in alignment" auxiliary mode has been added, designed to cut or extend the first or last segment of a linear object.
    New type of programmable signs has been added for displaying bar charts according to the semantics of objects with display in a legend of semantics values (in addition to a sign displaying values in percentage). The description of diagrams includes a list of codes of semantics corresponding to sectors of the diagram. For each semantics the own parameters of displaying a sector are set. For all diagram the maximum width and the maximum height of the diagram are set. To the right of the diagram its legend is displayed. Texts of lines for signing of sectors are taken from semantics names, excepting repeating part of names. For example, if the semantics are called Number of inhabitants under 20 years old, Number of inhabitants from 20 to 40 years old, then the legend will contain the following lines: up to 20 years old, from 20 to 40 years old, and so on. The conventional symbol the "Bar chart" is shown in the data example on the map \Data\shape.
    Import from DXF format has been improved. There is added a recalculation of coordinates and sizes of characters from storage units specified in DXF: inches, feet, miles, millimeters, centimeters, meters, and so on.
    The formation of graphic primitives from the parameters of symbols specified in DXF has been improved, which allows you to reproduce the view of the original drawing without setting the symbols.
    A script has been added into the list of basic python scripts that calculates the distance from the selected object up to several selected objects with recording into the semantics of the calculated value.
    The tasks of sorting, importing and exporting maps in SXF and TXF formats have been improved to support clone objects. RAM distribution has been improved when processing large data sets (tens of gigabytes and more than a hundred million objects). The speed of searching and displaying data has been raised.

  • 12.02.2023 Training material on the formation of a map of the minimum allowable heights has been prepared in the GIS "Panorama"
    Specialists of KB "Panorama" prepared a video lesson on the formation of a map of minimum allowable heights using the task "Construction of a map of minimum heights" in the GIS "Panorama". This task is intended for automatic forming a map of the minimum heights that are allowed for aviation flights based on elevation matrixes, maps of marks of heights and maps of artificial obstacles.
    The training material clearly demonstrates the process of constructing a map of minimum heights, which includes two stages:
    - at the first stage of the task, the creation of a map of maximum heights is performed, using matrixes of heights of a relief, maps of heights marks of extreme points of the relief and maps of artificial obstacles;
    - at the second stage, signatures of values of the minimum heights are created on the basis of the map of maximum heights.
    Maps of marks of heights and artificial obstacles can be generated using any classifier. Maps of maximum heights and minimum heights must be created using the dfc.rsc or dfc.rscz classifier. The map of minimum allowable heights (map of signatures) is used to import obstacles into the database of the "Complex for documents preparation of aeronautical information".
    You can get acquainted with the training materials in the "Video lessons" section.

  • 09.02.2023 Complex for documents preparation of aeronautical information forms passports of airdromes in accordance with Order No. 449 of the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation

  • 08.02.2023 GIS "Panorama" for OS "Astra Linux Special Edition" and OS "Alt 8 SP" provides preparing pyramids of tiles of spatial data for acceleration of displaying in mobile and web applications
    In KB "Panorama" the GIS "Panorama" version 14.2.5 has been developed for OS "Astra Linux Special Edition" (release "Smolensk") and OS "Alt 8 SP" (architecture x86-64). In the new version the possibility of saving the spatial data into pyramids of tiles in Mbtiles format has been added, tasks of export and import of data of the DXF format have been improved. New modes of the "Map Editor" task have been developed, a type of programmable signs has been added to display bar charts, the list of scripts in the python language has been expanded, the efficiency of searching and displaying data has been increased by optimizing the allocation of RAM.
    A new task of saving a pyramid of tiles into Mbtiles format has been developed, designed to create a complete set of spatial data image layers for the selected scale series. Mbtiles format is a SQLite database that stores images in png, jpg, png8 formats. The purpose of forming a set of rasters (tiles) is to speed up the display in mobile and web applications of spatial data containing a large number of objects or occupying large amounts of data. It allows in an offline mode to provide an access to pre-prepared spatial data. To create pyramids of tiles, a combination of digital vector maps, space and aerial photography, matrixes of heights, data from geoportals and other data can be used. Pyramids of tiles can be published via the OGC WMTS protocol by the GIS WebService SE service or displayed in the GIS "Operator", GIS "Panorama" programs, in various mobile applications.
    Export of the document of an electronic map into KMZ format has been added. The generated KMZ archive contains a KML project file and a set of pyramid tiles for the saved area. The KML file contains a description of the raster data parameters - the names and coordinates of the rasters binding, as well as their display priority. A fragment of an electronic map's document of any type and composition can be saved, including vector maps, images and matrixes, as well as geospatial data from external Internet resources (WMS and WFS services) and databases. The task implements the ability to save a map image by the selected area, by the page format and by the dimensions of the selected objects, for example, by the dimensions of frameworks of nomenclature sheets.
    The task "Map Editor" has been improved. In the group of modes "Creating an object", the mode "Create clone" has been added. A clone is an object that has a link to the metric of the cloned object and its symbol.
    Typically, such objects create objects of map design, for example, centerlines of roads. It allows to reduce volume of the stored data and to synchronise editing of the metrics of objects and their elements of registration. Allocation of objects of registration in separate objects-clones allows to execute them отрисовку after end отрисовки all made out objects and to raise quality of the image (for example to execute procleaning of crossroads of all roads). Problems of sorting, import and map export in formats SXF and TXF for support of objects-clones are finished. Modes a cutting of objects of a map inside and out of the chosen contour, giving possibility of group removal of marked: selected objects of an electronic map on the set contour are added. For the purpose of improvement of quality of a cutting of objects of a map accuracy of processing is increased. Upon termination of processing the rounding off of co-ordinates of the cut off contours is carried out. Thus metrics co-ordinates are led the accuracy specified in the passport of a map (centimetres, millimetres). In a mode "point Editing" the auxiliary mode "Trailer points in an alignment", intended for execution scraps or lengthenings of first or last piece of linear object is added. This allows you to reduce the amount of stored data and synchronize the editing of the metrics of objects and their design elements. Separating design objects into separate clone objects allows you to display them after the display of all designed objects is completed and improve the image quality (for example, clean the intersections of all roads). The tasks of sorting, importing and exporting maps in SXF and TXF formats have been improved to support clone objects. There are added the modes of cutting the map objects inside and outside the selected contour, providing the possibility of group deletion of selected electronic map's objects along a given contour. In order to improve the quality of cutting map objects, the accuracy of processing has been increased. At the end of processing, the coordinates of the cut contours are rounded. In this case, the coordinates of the metric are reduced to the accuracy indicated in the map passport (centimeters, millimeters). In the "Point editing" mode, the "End points in alignment" auxiliary mode has been added, designed to cut or extend the first or last segment of a linear object.
    New type of programmable signs has been added for displaying bar charts according to the semantics of objects with display in a legend of semantics values (in addition to a sign displaying values in percentage). The description of diagrams includes a list of codes of semantics corresponding to sectors of the diagram. For each semantics the own parameters of displaying a sector are set. For all diagram the maximum width and the maximum height of the diagram are set. To the right of the diagram its legend is displayed. Texts of lines for signing of sectors are taken from semantics names, excepting repeating part of names. For example, if the semantics are called Number of inhabitants under 20 years old, Number of inhabitants from 20 to 40 years old, then the legend will contain the following lines: up to 20 years old, from 20 to 40 years old, and so on. The conventional symbol the "Bar chart" is shown in the data example on the map \Data\shape.
    The tasks of exporting and importing data in DXF format have been improved. Saving and setting object color in RGB format has been implemented. The RGB color model covers a wider range of colors and provides the highest color rendition compared to the previously used indexed color of AutoCAD palette. Improved import from DXF format. Added recalculation of coordinates and sizes of characters from storage units specified in DXF: inches, feet, miles, millimeters, centimeters, meters, and so on. The formation of graphic primitives from the parameters of symbols specified in DXF has been improved, which allows you to reproduce the view of the original drawing without setting the symbols.
    A script has been added into the list of basic python scripts that calculates the distance from the selected object up to several selected objects with recording into the semantics of the calculated value. RAM distribution has been improved when processing large data sets (tens of gigabytes and more than a hundred million objects). The speed of searching and displaying data has been raised.
    GIS "Panorama" - universal domestic geoinformation system. The program is designed for accumulation, storage, the automated processing and display of data, calculation results and forecasts with geospatial reference.

  • 07.02.2023 "Workstation of cadastral engineer" forms a forest declaration and its annexes in XML format
    In KB "Panorama" the "Workstation of cadastral engineer" version 14.5.3 has been developed. In the new version the mode "Formation of forest declaration in electronic XML format with annexes" has been added. The form of the forest declaration, the procedure for filling out and submitting it, the requirements for the format of the forest declaration in electronic form were approved by the order of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Ecology of the Russian Federation dated April 29, 2021 N 303.
    Formation of the forest declaration is carried out for selected objects of the map - forest areas. The map is created using the forestry.v2 digital classifier. Entering information for filling the form of the forest declaration is performed in the dialog by entering values or selecting elements from reference books of the unified regulatory and reference information of the federal forestry agency. Reference information is stored in SQLite database tables.
    The new mode "Shorten line (distance input)" provides cutting from a linear object at the beginning or at the end of the metric of a section of a specified length.
    The mode "Transfer semantics to allocated objects" mode has been improved, which provides group filling of cadastral attributes. Using this mode, you can fill in the semantics "Cadastral numbers of buildings" for land plots. The program searches for real estate objects located inside the plots (for example, buildings), reads the initial semantics "Cadastral number" and fills in the output semantics. As a result of execution, each land plot will have the number of output semantics corresponding to the number of buildings located on it.
    A new mode "Sign the shortest distance to selected features" has been developed. The mode calculates the shortest distances in a straight line from the border of the selected objects to the specified (selected) map object. The result of calculations is mapped in the form of a linear object and a signing its length. When mapping, the standard options of the "Geodesy editor" from the "Editor" page are used. The calculated distance value is written into the semantics of a linear object.
    The new version of the program is available on the website in the Download section.

  • 03.02.2023 Tools for designing maps, preparing reports and publishing have been updated in GIS "Panorama"
    KB "Panorama" developed GIS "Panorama" version 14.5.3. In the new version, the task "Classifier editor" has been completely updated which controls the logical structure and classification system of vector map data. Tools for editing maps, preparing reports, processing elevation matrices have been improved, tools for preparing a forest declaration in electronic format (XML), preparing cadastral maps have been supplemented, and the complex for automated preparation of maps for publication has been updated.
    The new version of the task "Classifier editor" has been developed. Information about the composition of the classifier is supplemented by the number of connected libraries with user signs, libraries of 3D signs and objects that have a three-dimensional appearance in the tab "General data". "Translation" tool has been added to translate the names of layers, objects and semantics of the classified into other languages. Operating the color palettes of the classifier is placed on a separate tab "Palettes". There is a convenient opportunity to simultaneously view and work with the colors of RGB and CMYK palettes. Adjusting the arrangement of colors in the palette table permits to arrange them with the greatest convenience for editing. For each color, there is shown the number of objects types for the classifier that use this color. This makes it possible to quickly see unused colors in the palette. The new tool "Transfer color to unused space" permits to reduce the size of the palette, if it is necessary. When a color is selected in the palette, a table of object types using this color is displayed at the bottom of the tab. From the table of types for objects on any tab, by double-clicking the left mouse button on the object, it is possible to go to the tab "Objects" to edit it. The new tool "Replace color in objects" permits to replace the selected color with another one in all classifier objects that use it. There are added tools for converting color from RGB to CMYK and vice versa. The field "Number of colors" for the palette displays the number of colors actually used in objects of the palette.
    There is added the ability to create a palette of named colors. It has a tree structure and it can be used together with the main RGB palettes of the classifier. One example of its application is the stratigraphic (geochronological) scale, the geological time scale of the Earth's history. In the tab" Layers", there has been added a mode to view all layers together with their classes in the form of a tree. The tool "Classes" permits to add and edit classes for the selected layer. In the tab "Objects" there have been added tools for searching objects by name, code, symbolic code, key and other properties via "Object filter". In the subtab "Scale" there is added the ability to enter the arbitrary denominator of the scale for the lower and upper boundaries for the visibility of the object. In the subtab "Miscellaneous", there are added the properties of the object "Design object" and "Polygon with a dot". In the subtab "3D", there has been added the selection of the three-dimensional model of an object by types: near, medium, far. In the modes of creating or copying an object, all characteristics are filled in automatically. The operator is then prompted to change these fields if it is necessary. The tool "Creating and editing the series of objects" has been updated. Object properties: layer, class, visibility, additional object properties ("Miscellaneous" tab) - can be changed for all objects in the series at once or for one selected object. The tab "Clusters" has been added to describe the signs of clusters that display densely spaced point signs. The tab selects the types of objects related to each type of cluster, the cell sizes vertically and horizontally, the semantics code for specifying the current number of objects in the cluster, the type of cluster symbol, the limiting percentage for increasing the size of the cluster sign and the limiting number of objects corresponding to the maximum size of the sign cluster.
    In the tab "Libraries", in the tree of custom functions for displaying objects, next to the name of the function, there has been added the number of types for objects in which it is used. When a function is selected in the object table, all types of objects that use this function are displayed in the right part of the tab. The tab "3D" has been supplemented with understandable tools for creating and connecting p3d-libraries of the three-dimensional view of objects. The enlarged view (zoomed-in view) of the selected texture has been added to make it easier to view textures when editing their composition. When the texture is selected at the bottom of the tab, there is displayed a list of objects in the 3D view of which it is used.
    There has been improved the mode of the map editor "Cutting lists" which is included in the group "Cutting and stitching". The new algorithm cuts out not only areal, but also linear objects (according to the list of reference objects). By default, response points are saved in the reference objects created at the intersection of the contours for the reference and edited (cropped) objects. This method of processing lets to save the topology of the metrics for cropped objects with reference ones. If there is no need to save the topology (at intersections), then to speed up processing it is recommended to enable the option "Do not match points of edited objects with points of reference objects".
    The task "Report designer" has been improved. There has been added the ability to automatically add the created legend to the report map as an inset map or insert an image, depending on the selected format of the saved legend in the mode "Formation of the legend".
    The task for constructing a matrix of height differences based on two other matrices has been improved. There is added the support for the analysis of matrices in different coordinate systems. The task "Export DEM to file TIFF and KMZ" has been improved. The entry record has been added to the output file of the parameters of the vertical coordinate system, created in accordance with the height system of the source matrix. The file GeoTIFF stores the name of the vertical coordinate system, the height units contained in the file, and other parameters. For example: "Baltic 1977 height (EPSG:5705)", "MSL height (EPSG : 5714)", "WGS 84 (geographic 3D) (EPSG : 4327)".
    The task "Adding data from the directory to the document" has been improved. There is added the ability to import DEMs or images from files TIFF(GeoTIFF), IMG, KMZ contained in the selected folder. When enabling on the form of the element "Import heights from TIFF, IMG files", the control of the program is transferred to the dialog "Import matrices from formats SRTM, GeoTIFF".
    The new mode "Formation of the forest declaration in electronic format (XML) with attachments (appendices)" has been added to the task "Cadastral documents". The form of the forest declaration, the procedure for filling out and submitting it, the requirements for the format of the forest declaration in electronic form were approved by order of Ministry of Natural Resources and Ecology of the Russian Federation dated April 29, 2021 N 303. The forest declaration reflects information about the person who filed the forest declaration; on a lease agreement for a forest plot or other document in accordance with which the use of forests is carried out; about the location of the forest area; on the volume of forest use; on the types of forests use, which are provided for by the forest lease agreement, or other document in accordance with which the use of forests is carried out, the forest development project for the declared period. Formation of the forest declaration is carried out for selected objects of the map - forest areas. The map is created using the digital classifier forestry.v2.rsc. Entering information to fill in the forest declaration form is performed by selecting values from the reference book and from the semantic characteristics of the selected objects. The reference information is stored in the database tables SQLite.
    The module "Geodesic editor" has been improved. A new mode "Shortening the line (input distance)" has been developed. The mode provides cutting off from a linear object at the beginning (or at the end) of a segment of the specified length. The mode is included in the panel "Objects changing". The mode "Transfer of semantics to selected objects" has been improved. To perform the operation, it is necessary to select land plots on the map, for which it is necessary to fill in the repeatable semantics "Cadastral numbers of buildings" (code 1061). Next, in the mode dialog, specify the type of objects located inside the plots (for example, buildings), the initial semantics (Cadastral number, 1001) and the output semantics. As a result of execution, each land plot will have the number of output semantics corresponding to the number of buildings located on it. A new mode "Writing the shortest distance to selected objects" has been developed. The mode calculates the shortest distances in a straight line from the border of the selected objects to the specified (selected) map object. The result of calculations is plotted on the map in the form of a linear object and writing of its length. When plotting, the standard settings of "geodesic editor" are used, the page "Editor". The additionally computed distance value is written to the line semantics.
    There are improved tools for automated map preparation for publication. There are added script procedures "Classification of captions by location" and "Removal of coinciding contours". In accordance with the design rules on topographic maps of scales 1: 25,000, 1: 50,000, 1: 100,000, conventional signs such as "Forest strip", "Power lines", "Communication lines", "Glades" ("Clearings") and road network objects are written by one type of caption "Explanatory captions and characteristics (T-132) 1.3 mm". From the point of minimizing view for the size of the digital classifier, this approach is optimal. From the point of view for automated processing when generalizing a map or preparing for publication, such approach is harmful: it is impossible to unambiguously determine whether a caption belongs to the written object. When performing these works, some fragments of linear objects can be removed, displaced, or change the shape of the contour (in the process of filtering, generalizing and smoothing the metrics). When deleting a contour, the corresponding caption with the characteristics of this contour should be deleted. When changing the contour, the position of the caption should be specified (alignment of the caption metrics with the road contour, or offset from the road by the specified distance). The procedure "Classification of caption by location" permits to automatically assign certain types of signs "Characteristics of the forest strip", "Characteristics of power lines", "Characteristics of communication lines", "Characteristics of clearing", "Characteristics of the road", "Road number". The classification of captions permits the separate processing of each type of captions. Captions of the type "Road number" are obsolete and can be removed: currently the vector sign "Road number" is written with text from the semantics "Road number", the width of the sign frame is calculated automatically according to the length of the caption. Captions "Characteristics of the forest strip" located on top of the signs "Forest strip" near the road can be automatically shifted by the required distance. Automatic displacement of captions is performed using the script procedure "Refining the position of vector characters".
    The procedure "Removal of coincident contours" permits to automatically remove fragments of highways and trunk roads, the metrics of which partially coincide with vector bridges and captions of the type "Road characteristics". Before executing this procedure, the road intersections are processed. White and orange road decoration lines are created over the roads, masking the black outlines at intersections. Then the procedure "Removal of coincident contours" is performed, as a result of which fragments for the external black contours of roads are removed at the intersections with bridges and captions. The middle orange lines of the road design are saved.
    The procedure for the scenario "Refining the position of vector characters" has been improved. This procedure performs the displacement of objects relative to the linear objects of the road network (taking into account the width of the roads). There is added processing of captions and point characters. The processing of captions is performed when specifying the position of the caption "Characteristics of the forest strip". Point signs are processed when specifying the position of individual trees. Procedures are launched in the dialog "Map Processing by Script", which is called via the main menu: Tasks - Preparing for Publication - Map Processing by Script.
    There is improved RAM distribution when processing large data sets (tens of gigabytes and more than a hundred million objects). The speed of searching and displaying data has been improved. The new version of the program is available for download on the page Download.

This feature permits to perform parallel tasks to update map data. For example, one operator can update the address base. The second one can update the power grid facilities. The third one can update the gas facilities. When accepting data, there are checked the modified data of the working map and the current state of the base map. After all the necessary checks, the result of the work is placed on the base map. The data are updated on the map.
    The task is performed in two stages:
    - at the first stage of work, a fragment of the digital map is selected and the standard of the issued fragment is memorized;
    - at the second stage, the map is accepted from the operator. The table of changes in the working map is formed in comparison with the standard and the current state of the base map. The table contains records about changing the composition of objects, updating the metrics and semantics of objects.
    Before performing the second stage, accepting the processed data for the issued map fragment, it is recommended to check the quality of the plotted information using the task "Vector map quality control".
    It is possible to be acquainted with the training materials in the section "Video tutorials".

  • 11.01.2023 Workstation of urban planner" uses the current reference information of Rosreestr to keep records of land plots
    KB "Panorama" has developed "Workstation of urban planner" version 14.5.2. In the new version, changes have been made to the reference database of the complex in accordance with the classifier of types for permitted use of land plots, approved by order No. 246 the Federal Service of State Registration, Cadastre and Cartography dated June 23, 2022. The program has added directories "Type of the land use by order" and "Semantics of urban planning regulations". For keeping records of land plots, the modes "Updating semantics on the map", "Automatic loading of documents" and "Automatic linking of the accounting object with the land plot" have been improved. For capital construction objects, a new report "User document" has been added. The functions and mechanisms of maintaining urban planning regulations have been optimized in the database. The list of formalized parameters for the territory development has been expanded. The new reference book "Type of the land use by order" is synchronized with the semantics of the same name 1311 of the classifier survey.rsc and the corresponding attribute is added to the account of the land plot.
    The formation and maintenance for the base of urban planning regulations established by the rules of land use and development is carried out synchronously with the registers of land plots, capital construction objects and other accounting objects. Spatial and logical connections are established between the registers of the complex, all objects are linked to the map. To facilitate the filling of information in the mode "Add with copy", new attributes for copying have been added. When the conditions for deleting records are met, it is possible to delete several selected records.To create the urban planning plan for the land plot based on the data stored in the database, a new reference book "Semantics of urban planning regulations" has been introduced, which implements the establishment of correspondence between the parameters of the development for the territory and the semantics of the objects for the territorial zoning map. The parameters of urban planning regulations have been supplemented with: building density coefficient; the distance from the sites with containers to the windows of residential buildings, the boundaries of children's plots, medical institutions, recreation places; the minimum area of the land plot for engineering facilities and auxiliary engineering facilities.
    The modes "Updating semantics on the map" and "Automatic linking of the accounting object with the land plot" have been improved. Additional information about errors and digital map objects has been added to the process execution protocol. The mode "Automatic loading of the land plot documents" has been completely updated. The mode provides for automatic creation of documents based on files of digital copies of the land plot documents. The created documents are registered in the information system and can be used in the document flow of the software package. The mode is implemented both for one site and for several ones in the form of document streaming download.
    From the information about the capital construction object stored in the database, according to the established information and logical links with the registers of the complex and the digital map, it is possible to generate a new report "User document". For this report, the user needs to generate dot format template and match the attribute of the accounting object and the tag in the document template.

  • 07.01.2023 Tools for preparing operational maps of the area have been expanded in GIS "Operator" SE for OS "Astra Linux Special Edition", OS "Alt 8 SP" and RED OS.
    KB "Panorama" developed GIS "Operator" version 14.2.4 for OS "Astra Linux Special Edition" (release "Smolensk"), OS "Alt 8 SP" (architecture x86-64) and RED OS. The new version implements the task of generating nomenclature sheets of topographic maps for the specified area, adds a new type of software product licensing over the network, improves the quality of displaying graphic symbols on the map, improves the display of sea charts, and adds new tools for specifying the dimensions of the created map objects. The possibilities of obtaining cartographic data have been improved for preparation of the report documents. The interface has been improved for managing the selection of open digital maps.
    The new task "Formation of map sheets by coordinates" is designed to create a topographic area of work according to the specified dimensions and sheet nomenclature. The user can set the boundaries of the area to be created by entering values in degrees or meters in the dialog interface. If there is an open map, it is possible to use additionally an arbitrary map object, fragment or dimensions of the entire map as initial data. The list of nomenclature sheets is formed in accordance with the generally accepted rules for designating a map sheet. The multi-sheet map obtained as a result of the task can later be used as input data for other tasks (for example, cutting a document into sheets to speed up the display of a large amount of data). For the convenience of the user, the list of selected items can be exported to a text file and used as input data in the next session of working with the task.
    The type of software product licensing "Floating hardware license (USB-key)" has been added, which lets to dynamically configure a set of computers on which the work with GIS "Operator" will be performed. When using this type of licensing, USB security key is connected to only one workstation on which the license server is installed. At local workstations with GIS "Operator", no additional physical means are required to activate the product, it is enough just to provide network access to the license server and to perform a few simple steps to configure the program. For convenience to control the set of software products to which the user has access, the license type setup dialog provides the interface for viewing license data: license availability, license and technical support expiration dates, operating system type, and a list of available software products.
    The mode for creating the object with the selected drawing method "Horizontal rectangle" has been improved. When performing the interactive selection of a rectangle on the map through the context menu of the mode, it is possible to call the dialog for setting the rectangle size by specifying numerical values for the width, height and area of the selected area. The lengths of the sides for the rectangle can be set in meters or kilometers on the ground, or in millimeters on the map. The area can be specified in square meters, square kilometers or hectares on the ground, or in square millimeters on the map. It is supported to specify the dimensions of the rectangle to create a new map object, taking into account the standard dimensions of the page printed on the device by selecting from the page format list. It is added the display of the list for open maps in the main menu in the section "Window". The list of open maps in the main menu provides more flexible settings for selecting the current active map when several digital maps are open at the same time. The menu clearly shows the names of the maps loaded into the program. In the list of maps, the currently installed active map is marked. Clicking on another item in the list of open maps switches the active map displayed on the screen.
    It has been improved he quality of displaying graphical symbols on the map and in the symbol preview windows of the properties dialogs of the selected map object and Classifier Editor. For graphic characters, the image of which is stored in files, the anti-aliasing algorithm is applied during display, which lets to get rid of "pixeling" effect when the character size is changed in the classifier. Using the anti-aliasing, when displaying graphic symbols, it expands the user's options for customizing the type of symbols in the classifier and it improves the visibility of the map when displayed on the screen.
    It is improved displaying of sea charts according to the standard S52. The implementation of the procedures has been refined: Depval - generation of the depth values based on attribute values for underwater obstacles, taking into account underlying objects, Udwhaz - requesting the code of the displayed symbol and display flag, taking into account the depth of the obstacle or requesting the code of an isolated underwater hazard with the depth less than the safety contour, Wrecks - displaying the remains of a shipwreck.
    It is improved options for saving digital map data in vector format PDF. Vector map data is saved to a file PDF along with rasters and DEMs loaded into them. Setting the display of map layers using the parameter "Above map" lets to control the movement of the required layers to the fore both when the map is rendered on the screen, and when generating a saved image for the vector file PDF. Setting the selection of a fragment for the displayed area gives the opportunity to display an image of the entire work area or a map fragment limited by the rectangular area, a selected map object, or the size of the current map window displayed on the screen.
    The vector format PDF preserves the quality of the map image at any set display scale, which expands the user's ability to choose the scale of the generated file PDF. The mode of saving the map to vector format PDF can be used when preparing reporting documents.
