Specialists from KB "Panorama" together with MIIGAiK students have prepared a video tutorial on working with the "Create New Project" mode in the "Report Designer" task toolbar. The reviewed mode is available in GIS "Panorama" and GIS "Operator" for the "Astra Linux Special Edition" operating system.

The video tutorial demonstrates the process of creating a new project both as an independent document and based on a background map. To create a new project, you need to specify the print sheet format (size) (A5-A0 or custom), page orientation for printing, and print margin dimensions.

When preparing a project based on a background map, a new report is created with the source document parameters (coordinate system, projection, scale). The current map open in the GIS is used as the background map. In a project created with a background substrate, the background map, unlike maps placed in insets, is available for information queries, computational tasks, and regular editing using system tools. After project creation, the background map image is limited by the project page's outer frame.

Background map management functionality includes selecting the display scale on the report page (zoom in, zoom out, or entering a specific value), as well as positioning the map on the report page. You can familiarize yourself with the training materials in the "Video Tutorials" section.

KB "Panorama" has developed Environmental Tasks Complex version 15.4.4. The new version implements domain authentication capability when connecting to the "Ecology" database. The updated Complex allows for seamless authorization implementation, simplifying database connection and improving system usability.

The program has added a mechanism for maintaining a list of completed connections to the environmental monitoring database during password authentication. To ensure confidential information security, database connection parameters are stored in encrypted form for the current user.

The Complex processes and analyzes environmental monitoring information arrays accumulated in the "Ecology" database. The program is installed as an addition to GIS "Panorama" and enables rapid assessment of observed processes, phenomena, or events using retrospective spatial data analysis results. Monitoring measurements can be conducted both at stationary observation points and during field trips. During observations, multiple indicators are recorded simultaneously, allowing comprehensive characterization of the monitoring object. A flexible settings system enables grouping indicators according to observation directions, including monitoring atmospheric air pollution, water bodies, soil, subsurface conditions, biological resources, radiation situation, lands, permafrost, production and consumption waste, coal dust content, wildlife objects, and other factors. For assessing the observation point network status, visualization of their scheme is provided, where the current status of each point is displayed on a topographic map using special conventional symbols.

The new version of the Environmental Tasks Complex is available in the Download section.

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

Specialists from KB "Panorama" have prepared a video tutorial that covers methods for copying semantic characteristics from one object to another when performing cadastral work to create territory map-plans. The video tutorial demonstrates how semantics can be transferred from one object to another using the "Copy semantics between objects" mode or through the "Object selection" dialog. When it is necessary to fill semantics for a large number of objects, the process can be automated using the "Update from file" task.

The cadastral map must be created using the survey.v6 classifier. For selected conditional land plots or capital construction objects, attribute export to XLS format is performed using the "Export data to data tables" task. Either specific attributes or all attributes can be selected. For refined or corrected plots, the "Cadastral number" semantics (code 1001, key KADNUM) must be filled in, as object linking is performed based on this attribute.

To transfer semantics, in the "Update from file" task dialog window, the type of connection between the map object and data from the file is established by semantics. In the list of semantic characteristics, it is necessary to specify an entry containing the semantics name and the column name in the XLS file.

Training materials can be accessed in the "Video Tutorials" section.

KB "Panorama" has developed GIS "Operator" version 15.3.8 for "Astra Linux Special Edition" OS. The new version has improved tasks for viewing attributes from databases, importing DXF and CSV, and automatic image recognition. The processed data types in the map legend have been expanded.

In the "Map Legend" task, tools for working with digital maps have been supplemented by supporting new data types: elevation matrices, layers and qualities, rasters, object lists, geoportals, documents and models. The matrix tree now displays all available types with the ability to edit display parameters through the context menu. Work with rasters has been updated, including support for multiple selection and operations with various types of raster data. Support for object lists has been added, which are saved in OBX format and can be used for various spatial operations. Additionally, work with TIN and MTD models has been implemented: they can be added, deleted, viewed, and display parameters can be edited. The improved functionality makes the task more flexible for comprehensive work with digital map content.

The "View attributes from database" task, called by a button on the main panel, has been improved. Support for multiple table selection in the "Open dataset" dialog has been implemented. The functionality of the tab context menu has been expanded: you can copy the table name and query text, as well as edit it directly. The ability to copy and paste data while preserving field names has been implemented. CSV export has been improved and moved to background mode, allowing simultaneous export of multiple tables without blocking the interface.

The "Import data from CSV, XYH, TXT" mode has added the ability to view the contents of the loaded file. When clicking the "View contents" button, a separate window will display the lines contained in the file, as if the file were opened in the "Notepad" application. Viewing file contents can be useful when determining the delimiter for columns, as well as the first line from which data reading begins.

The "Import DXF format data" task has been improved. Each DXF layer in the "Parameters" tab can be assigned an object type that will be displayed after import. To do this, set the value "Layer appearance settings table" in the "Layer appearance" field. Then assign the required conditional sign from the RSC classifier to the required layers in the table. To ensure that only layers with assigned conditional signs are applied to the map, the "Import selected layers" property must be enabled.

GIS "Operator" SE is a universal domestic geographic information system for law enforcement agencies. The program is designed for accumulating, storing, automated processing and displaying data, calculation results and forecasts that have geospatial reference. GIS "Operator" SE contains tools for 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 a 3D model, predicting the consequences of emergency situations at hazardous facilities, monitoring aircraft movement, conducting geodetic and topographic work, processing data from GPS/GLONASS navigation devices, printing displayed spatial data to various output devices, and many others.

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