Specialists at KB "Panorama" have prepared a video tutorial on creating non-standard types of objects using custom libraries in the classifier editor in GIS "Panorama", "Workstation of cadastral engineer", "Workstation of agronomist", and other software products. For maps with complex types of symbols, the ability to connect special libraries in the classifier editor has been added. Such libraries must have the extension IML. To connect custom libraries, the "Libraries" tab in the classifier editor is used.

The video tutorial demonstrates the configuration of parameters and the display of the programmable symbol of the library shape.iml, which is included in GIS "Panorama", specifically the "Symbol with a leader line and text". The symbolic sign is formed using a combination of primitives and assigning semantic characteristics to generate text. Additionally, the method of creating an object displaying the X and Y coordinate values from the metric of the first point of the object is shown. When moving such a type of symbolic sign on the map, the label of the point's coordinates changes according to the metric coordinates.

Examples of creating non-standard types of objects can be found in the installation package of GIS "Panorama". Educational materials can be accessed in the "Video Lessons" section.

Geoportal "Bank of spatial data" has been supplemented with a map of the Republic of Malawi, 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".

In the KB "Panorama", the line of GIS software "Panorama" has been updated to version 15.2.3. In the new versions of the software, the Professional GIS "Panorama", the Professional vectorizer "Panorama Editor", and the "Workstation of the urban-planner" have enhanced the task of "Export territorial planned data in GML". The new option "Control by schema" allows for an additional check of attribute values, their completeness, and the sequence of filling in the created GML files in accordance with the XSD schema specified in the order of the Ministry of Economic Development No. 174 dated 26.03.2024, "On organizing work on placing territorial planning schemes on the official website of the federal state information system of territorial planning on the Internet". GML files are generated by the program based on information presented on maps using the digital classifier terrplan.v7.rscz. The validation results are output in a text protocol in a dialog window.

The additional validation allows checking GML files before uploading them to the FGIS TP, reducing the time spent on searching for and correcting attribute filling errors. The digital classifier for creating territorial planning schemes terrplan.v7 is prepared in accordance with changes specified in the order of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation dated 06.10.2023, No. 698, and complies with the schema fgistp-10-izm-698.xsd.

The updated versions of the software are available for download in the Download section.

Experts at KB "Panorama" have prepared a video tutorial on working with the "Setup of panels" task in the GIS "Panorama", "Workstation of cadastral engineer", "Workstation of agronomist", and other software products. The discussed task is essential for creating toolbars and populating them with commonly used modes from various applied tasks. The video tutorial demonstrates the setup of a custom panel.

In the "Toolbars customizer" dialog, there is a field called "Tasks and Scripts" listing libraries containing panels with buttons and supporting the setup interface. The "Python scripts" line provides access to choosing a script from a list, which must be previously configured and verified in the "Run applications" dialog (under the "Scripts" tab). When new applied tasks are integrated into the GIS, the list can be edited using the "Add" and "Deleting" buttons.

At the bottom of the dialog, there are fields labeled "Available Toolbars " and "Available Buttons", which contain lists of panels for the current task and buttons within these panels. The "Custom Toolbars" field lists user-created tool panels and their content. New custom panels can be created sequentially without closing the main dialog.

Educational materials can be found in the "Video Lessons" section for further reference.

In the KB "Panorama", a toolkit for developing GIS applications called GIS ToolKit version 15.0.5 has been developed. In the new version, the component for accessing the map object classifier file (TMapRsc) has been enhanced. The "Objects" and "Semantics" tabs now feature the ability to simultaneously filter/search by all characteristics (name, code, key, number, directory). This type of search is set as default. A list has been added to the search bar where entered search strings from successful searches are saved. Selecting a string from the list allows for quick return to previous searches and their results. In the "Vector sign editing" dialog, a property to prevent label rotation has been added for text elements. When placing a vector sign on the map with any inclination angle containing text elements with rotation prevention, labeling is drawn from left to right; for vertical labels, it is drawn from bottom to top.

The component for selecting search/display conditions (TMapSelectDialog) has been enhanced. In the "Semantics" tab, validation of entered semantic values against the specified template string in the classifier, defining allowable characters like GUID, cadastral number, and others, has been added. For numerical characteristics, validation against the range of values set in the map classifier is provided.

The component for connecting to geospatial portals (TMapWMSPopupDialog) has been enhanced. Portals from Rosreestr services, the National Spatial Data Infrastructure, and the Federal Forestry Agency have been added. For Rosreestr services, layers such as Digital Orthophoto Plans EECO (Unified Electronic Cartographic Basis), Digital Topographic Maps and Plans EECO have been included. For the National Spatial Data Infrastructure services, layers like Digital Object Schema - Open Data, EECO, EECO (orthophoto), Orthophoto Plans 1:2000, Remote Sensing Data for the Russian Federation, Cadastral Districts, Cadastral Regions, Cadastral Blocks, Land Plots, Buildings, Structures, Unfinished Construction Objects, Settlement Boundaries, Special Territorial Conditions Zones, Territorial Zones, Forestry Offices, Cultural Heritage Territorial Objects, Specially Protected Natural Areas, Hunting Grounds, Special Economic Zones, Areas of Advanced Development, Water Object Boundaries, Plots Requiring Surveying have been added.

The GIS ToolKit toolkit consists of visual components, classes, and API functions of GIS core for full-fledged spatial data handling. The toolkit is designed for developing client-server and desktop 32-bit and 64-bit applications requiring spatial data processing and visualization. GIS ToolKit classes and components are intended for use in Embarcadero RAD Studio XE5 and higher (Delphi and C++ Builder) programming environments and come with source codes. The components can be likened to "semi-finished products," using which one can quickly and relatively easily develop their own geoinformation application. The GIS core of the GIS ToolKit toolkit can be used not only in the Embarcadero environment but also in any development environment with any compiler supporting WINAPI function calls.

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