In KB "Panorama" the GIS "Panorama" version 14.3.2 has been developed. The new version expands the GIS capabilities for the creating, updating and analyzing digital terrain models by including into the software of scripts in Python language that can be written in any text editor. The tools for building reports, three-dimensional modeling, creating and controlling the quality of digital terrain maps, and processing multispectral images have been improved.

In "Run applications" dialog the "Scripts" bookmark for executing scripts in the Python language has been added. The "Basic set of scripts" node is initially installed in the script tree, which contains scripts supplied with the GIS. To connect user scripts, you can create your own nodes (themes) for their grouping. The basic set of scripts demonstrates the execution of various procedures for processing the coordinates and attributes of vector map objects, solving the computational problems, converting data and other tasks.

When writing scripts, several thousand GIS core functions (MAPAPI) are available. Function prototypes are declared as imported Python scripts from the Users\Public\Documents\Panorama\py_mapi14 folder. The procedure for applying MAPAPI functions described in the document "Application tasks. Development of new modules" will also be valid for Python scripts. For proper processing of script strings containing national characters (Russian, Chinese, Spanish, and so on), scripts must be UTF-8 encoded.

The function called from the script can perform some action on the selected object or on selected objects if the user has selected some objects on the map. To enter additional data processing parameters, both GIS dialogs and dialogs written on the basis of the standard tkinter component can be called. Scripts can indicate the progress of data processing by indicating the name of the processing stage, the percentage of execution, the number of processed and selected objects, the elapsed and remaining processing time. Based on the results of the analysis and processing of vector map objects, some objects can be selected that can be marked on the map as a result of working the script and/or for further processing in the chain of executed scripts or by interactive GIS tools.

In the Run applications dialog, you can select a program from the user's existing ones (from a text editor to a professional script editor) to create, view and edit Python scripts from the script tree. To execute scripts, you must first download and install the Python interpreter. The basic set of scripts has been developed and tested based on Python version 3.7.9 on MS Windows 7 and higher, and version 3.10.5 on MS Windows 10. The base scripts are located in a shared folder like: \Users\Public\Documents\Panorama\py_base14 .

The "Reports designer" task has been improved. In the object geometry editing mode, the functions of deleting objects, interactively changing the height of the signature font, adding and deleting borders for insets have been added. There are added a display of the background grid and setting its parameters: display, color, view, position on the map, the ability to disable when exporting a report to graphic files, permission to stick the cursor to grid nodes when creating and editing objects. In the insertion mode, the ability to stick the cursor to grid nodes has been added, the ability to interrupt an unfinished operation has been added. In the object geometry editing mode, the function of binding all points of object to grid nodes has been added. Grouping of buttons has been made. Rarely used modes are designed into group buttons with the ability to select a specific mode through the menu. When saving stamps, the ability to decode objects (from an object with a classifier code into a graphic object) has been added, which allows you later to load this stamp into a map with any classifier. In interactive modes the hints in the info line have been added.

In the "Complex of urban tasks", the dialog "Building the areas of acceptable placement of objects" has been updated. The mode provides automated construction of the minimum offset line from the boundaries of the land plot, within which the construction of capital construction objects and the zone of the planned placement of the capital construction object is permitted. The constructions are carried out in accordance with the requirements for the town-planning plan of the land plot established by the "Town-planning code of the Russian Federation" dated 29.12.2004 N 190-FZ as amended on 01.05.2022. Information about restrictions on the use of the land plot is used for construction, including if the land plot is fully or partially located within the boundaries of zones with special conditions for the use of territories, has public easements and intersects with red lines.

In the "Navigator 3D" task, the "Scenario of moving objects" mode has been improved. When displaying a scenario, it is possible to display a given movement trajectory and inversion trace or the passed trajectory of individual objects. In the "Scenario setup" dialog, the ability to set a three-dimensional view for the trajectory and trace is added, not only by default, but also with a choice from the scenario classifier. The user can create his own special linear objects of trajectories in the classifier and set the required three-dimensional view for them. This approach improves the view of the displayed scenario and the recognition of moving objects when modeling movements.

Into the group of applications "Automatic creation of objects" a new application "Creating a map of minimum heights" has been added. The procedure serves as an addition to the Complex of documents preparation of aeronautical information and is intended for automatic creating a map of minimum heights (AMA) based on of matrixes of heights of a relief and maps of obstacles. Calculations are performed in accordance with Doc 8168 ICAO Rules - Aircraft Operations - Volume II. The map of minimum heights is a matrix of signatures for the values of minimally allowable heights of flight in established conventional signs with a given size of the analyzed cells on the ground. Heights labels are drawn up in accordance with the requirements of Doc 8697 ICAO Manual for Aeronautical Charts.

The task "Correction of object metrics" has been improved. In the "Break down objects onto component parts" mode, the ability to process multipoint objects with subobjects has been added. This allows you to break the point objects onto a group of independent objects, consisting of sub-objects, each of which, in turn, contains several points.

The task "Map Legend" has been improved. On the "Maps", "Rasters", "Matrixes", "Models" bookmarks, an information sign "(!)" is set if the coordinate system of the added data does not match the current coordinate system of the main document. On the "Maps" bookmark, an updating the content of the classifier tree has been improved when changing the contents of vector map objects. For example, if the filter "Objects available on the map" is set in the "Map legend", when an object is placed onto the map that is not part of the tree, the legend will be automatically rebuilt. In the "Map Legend" and "Data List" tasks, the updating of visibility of maps, rasters, matrixes and geoportals is synchronized.

Control of absolute heights has been improved. Support for national maps and classifiers was added that have contour lines of different types with the same external code. This allows you to control the correctness of the formation of contour lines, both for classifiers containing separate series of objects for different types of contour lines: Thick horizontals, Thick horizontals on glaciers, Thick horizontals on rocks; Main contours and so on, and classifiers with one code (series) for all types of contour lines - in this case, control of contour heights is customized and performed by object keys.

For multispectral rasters imported in the "Do not copy the input image to RSW file" mode, support for channel color depth of 32 and 64 bits has been added. To convert the color to 8 bits, the minimum and maximum values determined by the reduced image are used during display. Single-channel rasters with real pixel encoding, which are usually used to store matrix height data, are displayed in grayscale.

The "Latest commands" item has been added into the right-click menu, which contains a list of the latest executed commands in various tasks and the executed applications from the "Run applications" dialog. A combination of the Shift key and the right mouse button is used for immediately calling a list of latest commands.

The "Selection by an arbitrary area" mode has been improved. Added automatic launch of the mode with the following combinations: drawing points in the form of a polygon by pressing the middle mouse button (MBM); pressing Shift and MMB - in the form of a rectangular area; outline the selected area by holding down MMB.

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

In KB "Panorama" the GIS "MapView" has been developed for Android OS. The program allows you to open the main formats of digital maps of the GIS "Panorama" on Android-based mobile devices and process the information from the built-in GPS/GLONASS receiver. The user can prepare in advance a necessary set of the spatial data in one of desktop products (GIS "Panorama", Panorama-Editor, GIS Panorama Mini), pack them into archive of ZIP format by standard tools and to transfer into mobile GIS "MapView". The process of working with data is carried out offline, without connecting to the Internet. When the user moves, his current position is dynamically displayed according to the coordinates received 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 the 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.

Users can jointly display vector maps (topographic, operational situation, marine navigation, aeronautical), matrix and raster data (Earth remote sensing data). Modern packed formats of vector maps SITZ, MAPZ, MPTZ are supported, which are decompressed in RAM on the fly. The program has been developed on the basis of toolkit the GIS Constructor for Android, which provides components for creation of mobile applications for work with digital maps in the Kotlin programming language.

The source code of the GIS "MapView" for Android OS is included in the software product the GIS Constructor for Android and can be taken as a basis for creating your own mobile application in the Kotlin programming language. GIS "MapView" uses the MAPAPI programming interface, which implements ample opportunities for performing calculations, providing display of spatial data in standard and user systems of conventional symbols. The MAPAPI programming interface is accessed via the Java Native Interface (JNI) programming interface. The JNI programming interface allows accessing MAPAPI libraries implemented in C/C++ from the Java/Kotlin language. An example of the implementation of this interface is included into composition of GIS Constructor for Android.

The cross-platform nature of the MAPAPI interface allows the programmer to develop and test GIS applications on a desktop operating system using the GIS Constructor available for a set of Linux systems. After debugging on the desktop system, a developer can build an Android application with minimal changes to the source code of the program.

GIS Constructor for Qt Designer SE and GIS "MapView for Android OS" are available for download in the Download section.
