Specialists from KB "Panorama" have prepared a video tutorial on the "Data Merging" task in GIS "Panorama". This task is designed to merge adjacent sheets of a vector map into an output vector map in SIT or SITX format, containing a single sheet. Furthermore, this mode can be used to create a unified map from an MPT project's data, for example, for a federal subject or other region. This requires that the project's vector data be opened with a unified classifier.

The video tutorial demonstrates the data merging process using an example of a pre-built MPT project with a unified classifier. The merging process involves creating the output map sheet, copying objects from the source sheets to the resulting map, and stitching areal and unclosed linear objects that extend across the borders of adjacent sheets for standard topographic map sheets.

When performing vector data stitching, it is possible to exclude semantics, layers, and map objects from processing using the "Configure" function. You can review the training materials in the "Video Tutorials" section.

Geoportal "Bank of spatial data" has been supplemented with map of the Republic of Vanuatu, 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", together with students from MIIGAiK, have prepared a video tutorial on using the "Legend Formation" mode of the "Report Designer" task. The reviewed mode is available in GIS "Panorama" and GIS "Operator" for the operating system "Astra Linux Special Edition".

The video tutorial demonstrates the process of creating a legend when developing a new project. The "Legend Formation" mode is designed for generating tables based on data obtained from the attribute and spatial descriptions of map objects, with the ability to subsequently embed the created tables into reports as additional informational material.

Table generation is performed for pre-selected map objects, from which attribute data will be sampled. The table is formed based on objects from a single map. If the open map is a project consisting of several maps, the required map should be selected from the dropdown list in the "Data Source" line.

In the preview window, you can evaluate the final image of the compiled table and adjust the parameters. Information about the current overall dimensions of the final table in millimeters is displayed below the preview window. This allows for assessing the format of the printed sheet on which the formed table will fit entirely. As a result of the described procedure, a table is created, which can be saved in various formats, such as SITX, JPG, and CSV.

You can familiarize yourself with the training materials in the "Video Tutorials" section.

KB "Panorama" has developed GIS "Panorama" version 15.3.9 for OS "Astra Linux Special Edition", "Alt Linux", "RED OS", "AlterOS", and Ubuntu. The new version enhances the Map Manager and Legend tasks. The automatic image recognition mode now includes processing address information for auto-filling object attributes. The set of tools for map editing, managing attribute databases, and performing overlay operations has been expanded.

The "Map Manager" task now includes an auto-fill metadata database feature, allowing for automatic generation of a map tree based on a selected directory. The user specifies the initial search path and the file types to be included in the database. The system supports a wide range of formats: maps, plans (MAP, MAPZ), user maps (SIT, SITX, SITZ), raster maps (RSW), matrix maps (MTW, MTL, MTQ), vector map exchange formats (SXF, TXF, DXF), map projects (MPTZ), spatial databases (DBM), and others. This function automatically creates the map tree, significantly reducing data preparation time. For subsequent viewing and navigation, a "Classification by Type" display mode is provided, which groups tree elements by format.

For the built map tree, a convenient search feature has been implemented, supporting two modes: tree filtering and advanced attribute search. The first mode allows quick display of only those files that meet specified conditions (by map types or dates), while the second enables flexible search by names, notes, semantics, or object coordinates. Found elements are automatically highlighted in the tree and on the map, with navigation commands available to jump to the previous or next match. This approach provides users with quick access to the needed information even in large geodata arrays. The task's parameters are saved in a configuration file, ensuring the tree view and search modes are restored upon restart. A built-in backup mode allows quick copying of selected cartographic files to a specified folder, ensuring data safety and security.

A "Metadata" panel has been added, complementing the map tree with detailed information about the selected element. It includes three tabs: "General" (with editable parameters like name, note, and data path, plus automatically filled file or database characteristics), "View" (for displaying user maps, rasters, and matrices), and "Create Region" (for launching the new cartographic region formation mode). This allows users not only to structure data but also to quickly get all necessary information about a map in a single interface. The ability to create a cartographic region based on selected SXF and TXF exchange format files has been implemented. Adding data to the list is done by simple drag-and-drop or double-clicking, with selected elements highlighted for clarity. After selecting data, a new region map is formed and opened in GIS for further work. A "View" mode has been implemented to visualize user maps, rasters, and matrices, with convenient zoom tools available.

In the "Map Legend" task, the "General Data List" tab has been improved. A "Select all map objects" mode has been added to the context menu, allowing selection of all objects on the maps chosen in the general data list.

The "Automatic Image Recognition" task now supports obtaining address information for automatically mapping house numbers and street names recognized in images. In the "Buildings", "Roads", and "City" modes, users can select the additional option "Label object addresses". Using integration with the GIS "Panorama" address database (address.gisserver.info), the service fills the following object semantics: for buildings - "House Number" (31202), "Street Name" (31201), "Settlement Name" (3106), "City Name" (31207), "District Name" (3108); for streets and highways - "Proper Name" (9), "Settlement Name" (3106), "City Name" (31207), "District Name" (3108). When forming the vector terrain map, objects with filled address semantics are automatically labeled. House numbers and street names are placed on the map. To download the finished vector map to the user's computer, double-click the request line in the "Request List" or use the context menu and click "Open Layer". To edit map labels if necessary, use the "Automatic Label Placement" task in GIS "Panorama" or configure labeling using the "Object Lists" mode. The task processes terrain images in RSW, JPG, TIFF, PNG formats and data from open geoportals. Descriptions of available neural network models and processing costs are on the "Panorama Vision" page.

The "Map Editor" task has been improved. The "Route Network Construction" mode now includes route geometry control and generates an error map, where incorrect routes and calibration points are placed with the detected error text added to the object semantics.

The "Building a Label by Object Semantics" task has been enhanced. It is now possible to save the set labeling parameters. As labeling different map objects often requires different label characteristics, one or more parameter sets can be configured for each variant. Loading the settings automatically forms the data needed for label placement, significantly reducing task execution time.

In the "Object Lists" dialog, a "Inside and Touch" search mode has been added. The search results are objects from the first list located entirely inside objects from the second list or having contour contact from the inside.

The "View Attributes from Database" task, called by a button on the main panel, has been improved. A button for filtering rows by arbitrarily selected layer objects was added. A button to reset all filters for the current active tab was implemented. Buttons to add/delete rows for tables not linked to geo-layers were added. When saving new rows, all empty fields are automatically filled with default values from the database (including primary keys). Color highlighting of rows was added: green - new rows; yellow - edited values; red - rows marked for deletion. Information about the absence of a primary key is displayed when attempting to edit tables without one. Support for tables with a composite primary key was added.

The "Parameters of Reference Systems from XML File" dialog has been refined. When editing an XML file with reference systems, the ability to copy a selected set of reference systems from another XML file was added. This change significantly speeds up the preparation of working lists of reference systems. This dialog configures permanent projections and datums in the "Map Passport" task and when setting projection parameters for rasters and matrices.

Support for the CGCS2000 Gauss-Kruger zone 13 - zone 23 (EPSG:4491-EPSG:4501) coordinate system, used in China, has been added. This enables map creation, formation of multi-sheet maps with standard nomenclatures, and construction of nomenclature grids.
