/ Introduction

Capabilities

• creation of mixed vector-raster maps with arbitrary layer and type structure;

• advanced means of spatial data analysis;

• creation of themes – user presentation of a map;

• displaying of maps in arbitrary scale;

• changing of displayed features structure and their displaying styles depending on the chosen scale;

• means of spatial data input and editing by assigning feature coordinates and also by interactive drawing with a mouse;

• sewing of separate imported map pages into one unified contiguous map;

• copying, merging and moving maps, layers and individual feature types between different geoinformation databases;

• creation of maps of arbitrary structure;

• searching information in tables by arbitrary search conditions;

• sorting of table information;

• arbitrary tables join;

• use of reference table;

• statistic calculations on the basis of information in tables;

• creation of queries – user table representations built by assigning search and sorting conditions, joining tables and setting displaying format;

• copying, merging and moving tables and queries between different geoinformation databases;

• printing tables and queries;

• establishing arbitrary relations between spatial and table information;

• receiving information about the feature selected on the map;

• searching a feature on the map on the basis of linked table information;

• creation of filters – conditions of map features visualization depending on their spatial properties and information in the tables connected with them;

• creation of layouts of output forms combining spatial, table information and presentation elements;

• import of table and spatial information presented in a series of widespread data formats;

• export of table and spatial information to a series of widespread data formats;

• support of style libraries containing fonts, map symbols, line styles, hatches and fill styles;

• a possibility to add and edit displaying styles in libraries using style editors;

• a possibility to provide each user with an individual set of permissions to operations with the database;

• support of simultaneous work of several users with the data of one and the same GDB including the possibility of GDB data shared editing;

• a possibility to access external data resources by means of ODBC;

• a possibility to use the system as OLE automation server;

• open system architecture enabling programmers to develop their own procedures for analyzing and processing spatial and table data.
