Specialists of KB "Panorama" have prepared a video lesson demonstrating the possibilities of the "Export of vector data into format GML or JSON" mode. Users of the GIS "Panorama" can independently convert vector maps using the presented tool into files of format GML and GeoJSON.

Video lesson demonstrates the settings of the export's tool: creation of styles, semantics and metrics in the created GML (GeoJSON) file, creation and use of the data schema, modes for creating maps and sheets, compiling a list of object types. The tool "Export of vector data to GML or JSON format" is intended for export of vector maps from the GIS "Panorama" into files of format GML and GeoJSON. Users can change the export's parameters: specify the data format, set the coordinate system, set the mode for creating styles, metrics, semantics and metadata, select the parameters for saving several maps or sheets, and also specify or independently create application data schemes using the classifier editor in the GIS "Panorama ". The result of the converter work is recorded into the protocol.

You can get acquainted with the training materials in the "Video lessons" section.

In KB "Panorama" the GIS Server version 10.0 has been developed. GIS Server provides remote access to spatial databases, digital maps of the area, remote sensing data, matrixes and documents. In the new version the list of supported DBMS for work with spatial databases has been expanded: PostgreSQL with PostGIS extension (St_Geometry data type), Oracle with Oracle Spatial extension (SDO_GEOMETRY data type), Oracle with ArcSDE extension (St_Geometry data type).

The program implements a new algorithm for monitoring virtual folders and controlling access rights to accelerate access to data with a large number of clients and a high intensity of operations for creating and deleting data sets in virtual folders. GIS Server supports automated data access control at the level of virtual data folders. The administrator can specify the rights of individual user groups to access different folders, without detailing the contents of the folders and their structure. In the process of work, the GIS Server automatically scans the contents of the folders and grants the users belonging to the corresponding group the rights to the data that will be placed in the virtual folder. The user can remotely change the structure of virtual folders and the composition of the data in them. When the contents of the folder are changed, the tree of available data is automatically rebuilt, which is displayed on the client when data is selected. This allows you to dynamically change the composition of data in a folder, add and delete data without interrupting the work of the GIS Server and without using administration tools for each instance of data.

There is added a support of publishing the packaged MPTZ projects, inside which other packaged projects are stored (reports with inserts and similar datasets). When a user enters several Active Directory groups, the rights to edit data are granted if there is access to this data for editing at least in one group.

Updating the GIS Server program from version 9 to version 10 for those who purchased the program after June 1, 2020 or has the paid technical support, free of charge.

The new version of the program is available for download on the Download page.

In KB "Panorama" the GIS "Operator" version 13.6.9 has been developed. In the new version, a display of conventional symbols of aircraft in the operator.rsc classifier has been improved. A point of a binding of aircraft (planes, helicopters) is the point of intersection of the basic lines defining a typeface of a symbol. Aircraft, when drawing, are displayed vertically upward or at an angle of 90 degrees to the left of the direction of the metric from the first point to the second one. For simplifying a turn of symbols in applications, to the aircraft the semantics 951 Course (directional angle) has been added, which turns a vertical axis of a conventional sign onto the specified course. The display of polygons with a title in the center with the text from the service characteristic 5400 has been improved - for positional areas, areas of fire positions, areas of formations, units, areas of events, areas of reconnaissance and destruction, area of use of means and others.

In the new version, the mode "Formation of a map legend" in the form of a table in the "Report Designer" task has been improved. Options for the automated formation of annotation columns (explanatory texts) were added. The mode allows to form columns of general annotations based on the values of the selected semantics of objects and annotations of conventional symbols over the corresponding images of these symbols. There are added the ability to use full or abbreviated names of objects for the initial filling of columns, the ability to enter text for sample of fonts, line wrapping, style settings. Arrangement of a series of objects (types of conventional symbols of one object code) by table rows has been implemented. Options for adding and deleting the columns in the map legend were added. Using the Create map legend mode in conjunction with other modes of the "Report Designer", such as "Table Create", "Adding text", "Save Legend", can significantly speed up the preparation of graphic documents.

Support has been added for reading and displaying graphic files and maps from packed projects of MPTZ, MAPZ, SITZ maps placed on the GIS Server. The algorithm for updating the spatial indices of objects used for displaying and searching vector data has been improved.

The new version of the program is available for download in the Download section.

Specialists of KB "Panorama" prepared and placed the map of the Penza region on the geoportal "Bank of spatial data". The map was formed using OpenStreetMap data, source data was obtained from Geofabrik website. To work with the maps, 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.rsc) 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), a map of the administrative-territorial division of the 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".

In KB "Panorama" the GIS "Panorama" version 13.4.2 has been developed for OS Astra Linux SE (Releases "Smolensk" and "Oryol"). The new version of the program adds the ability to directly connect to large spatial databases containing millions of records for displaying and editing in the form of vector maps in cartographic conventional symbols. Direct editing of databases records with the fields of different type containing coordinates of objects is provided. Database connection parameters (table, data view or SQL query) are customized in the database connection administration dialog and saved in a file with DBM extension, which has an XML structure. The settings provide for entering the name of the DBM file, the method and parameters of connecting to the database, a creating the lists of displayed and edited objects and their semantic characteristics (attributes). GIS allows you to simultaneously edit the content of databases connected directly and through the GIS Server, to carry out an information exchange between different databases, to agree the coordinates and attributes of objects in different databases, jointly display information from different databases in the form of graphic layers, to combine data with images, matrixes heights, vector maps and data from various geoportals and web services. Databases editing is performed by means of tasks the Map Editor, Road net and others in an interactive or automated mode. The means of connecting to databases in GIS duplicate the possibilities of the GIS Server and SpatialDB Service, but can be used in individual work. It is expedient to perform collective access for displaying and editing databases in the form of vector maps through the GIS Server.

The program accelerated the display, editing and search by area of objects for vector maps of large volume (from hundreds of thousands to tens of millions of objects in one set - a layer) located locally or on the GIS Server. This is implemented by optimizing the construction and updating of spatial indexes of objects used for displaying and searching vector data.

The task of connecting geoportals has been improved. 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. The parameters of connection to geoportals, stored in the wmslist_ru.xml file, have been updated.

At joint display of maps and geoportals, a transformation of vector data to a projection and coordinate system of a geoportal is carried out. In the new version of the program, the transformation of vector maps into a given coordinate system has been accelerated by 4-6 times. The transformation process is called on the fly when the data of maps and geoportals in different coordinate systems are added into one window. When transforming on the fly, a copy of the source map is created in the map subdirectory with a name containing the name of the passport file and the current date.

The "Cut selected objects" item has been added into the "Edit" menu. This mode allows you to simultaneously copy to the clipboard and delete selected objects on the map. Cutting of selected objects is carried out by the Ctrl+X hotkey combination. "Quick deletion" of selected objects without copying to the clipboard - Ctrl+Delete.

To find the causes of repeated errors in the program, the "Diagnostic log" mode has been added. If some action with the program causes an error, then its online diagnostics can be carried out by activating the diagnostic log and repeating the action that caused the error. The generated log file with a description of the error can be sent to the technical support of KB "Panorama" to eliminate the problem.

The classifier of objects of the operational situation operator.rsc has been updated. There is specified the type of conventional signs such as command posts, communication facilities, engineering equipment, units of permanent readiness and many others contained in the layers: "Actions of ground forces. Strikes, fires of missile-artillery means", "Engineering troops", "FSB bodies", "MIA of the RF","GIBDD of MIA of the RF", "Ministry of Transport of the RF", "Electronic Warfare troops", "Signal troops", "Road Bodies of the RF", "Space troops", "Mobilization deployment", "Moral and psychological support of troops", "EMERCOM and Civil defense", "Operational objects of general use", "Border agencies. Management", "Enemy - position, actions", "Strategic missile forces", "Formations and military units of technical troops", "Topogeodetic support of troops" and others.

GIS "Panorama" provides users with tools for accumulation, storage, automated processing and display of data, calculation results and forecasts having a geospatial reference. The system allows you to create vector, raster and matrix maps, and also promptly update various information about the area.

The geographic information system is built on a multi-platform multi-threaded kernel for Linux, QNX, Android, MS Windows with support for Intel/AMD, Elbrus, ARM, PowerPC, SPARC, MIPS and others processors.
