In KB "Panorama" the GIS "Operator" version 13.6.0 has been developed. In the new version the tools of preparing and printing the command-staff documents have been improved. In the task "Map Editor", the composition of the "Graphic Objects" panel has been expanded: modes have been added for controlling the color, scale, transparency of a conventional symbol of the object selected on the map. In the application task "Report editor" the possibility has been implemented for automated formation of a set of map reports in jpg format of specified permissions in accordance with a prepared list. It simplifies embedding of reports into various documents and their updating. In "Map print" dialog the ability has been added to limit the display area of the map by a specified boundary (for example, the administrative boundary of the territory). In this case, you can set the degree of transparency of the map display outside the borders of the main contour of the object from 0 (source image) to 100% (completely filled). This mode is called through the context menu in the "Map print" dialog by pressing the "Select area by object" button. When saving and opening packed projects of maps in MPT\MPTZ format, the currently specified displaying composition for each project map is taken into account. This allows you to form projects of different composition of layers, scale, color design from one set of maps for use in the form of insets in various reports.

When forming world maps from a set of maps sheets of SXF format, the ability has been added to transfer sheets in longitude by +/- 360 degrees. This allows to duplicate the columns of sheets in the western and/or eastern hemisphere to expand the size of the work region up to -360/+ 360degrees. The recalculation of coordinates and sheet passport will be performed automatically when importing the work region using the DIR file.

The display of elevations matrixes has been improved: the color of the coverage point is calculated based on 16 adjacent heights using the bicubic interpolation method. The new method makes it possible to smooth the discreteness of the display of the matrix elements and the light-shadow mask (hillshade) of the relief, as well as to crop the matrix image by the frame with pixel accuracy.

In the new version, the tools for viewing and editing tables of attributes of spatial databases have been expanded. Modes are added: select/cancel linked objects, show records for selected objects, show information about a map object for the current record. In dialog the tools for convenient viewing the table with a large amount of data are added: customization of the order of displaying columns, change of their width, setting the visibility status of columns. GIS "Operator" provides direct display and editing of arbitrary spatial databases in cartographic conventional symbols, including those created by other GIS, without additional third-party modules based on direct interaction with PostgreSQL and Oracle DBMS through SQL queries.

In the task "Navigator 3D" new types of displaying surfaces, reliefs, objects have been added. The surface can be in the type of: a map with a customizable display composition, a smoothed matrix, a background, or be absent. The relief can be full, nodular, skeleton or transparent. Objects can have a three-dimensional view according to the classifier and displayed as full or skeleton models, or have no assigned three-dimensional model and are displayed as a default view, built by the object's metric. Composition of the display of 3D-objects can also be customized for all maps through the "Composition of the display" on the main toolbar of the "Navigator 3D" task. A variety of settings for displaying all elements of a three-dimensional terrain model allows the user to customize it for execution of specific tasks. For example, a transparent relief allows you to view underground objects: buildings elements, communications and others. Nodular and skeleton view of a relief make it possible to see the details of its construction. Skeleton type of objects helps to estimate their relative positioning. The interface of the dialog for importing 3D models into the database of three-dimensional tiles DB3D has been updated.

The emercom.v2.rsc classifier has been updated, designed to create digital maps of emergency situations. For accounting objects under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Emergencies, and highlighting these objects with special conventional symbols, the following objects have been added: "Label of an object under the jurisdiction of EMERCOM", "Label of an object under the jurisdiction of the EMERCOM (simplified)", "Building under the jurisdiction of the EMERCOM".

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

In KB "Panorama" the GIS Constructor for Qt Designer SE version 13.3.0 has been developed for operating systems CentOS, Ubuntu, Astra Linux SE. In the new version, the functionality of the component of displaying three-dimensional model has been improved. When importing models into the DB3D format, spatial data TLS, OC3, DAE, OBJ can be imported as a set, assembled from various catalogs, with the ability to interactively select the composition of files. Possibility has been added for selecting a coordinate system of a binding the imported model: from the list, from a file of the metadata and EPSG database. For the COLLADA (DAE) format, a loading of the data can be executed in one of several provided modes depending on a way of the geometry analysis. For each level of the model, the user can select an individual texture value. In the component for importing graphic files when processing BMP, PNG, JPEG, TIFF, GeoTIFF, IMG formats, the user is provided with extended information about the source file: data type, minimum and maximum channel data values, interpretation method, projection parameters and coordinate systems. To optimize the import of large graphic files, it is possible to create an output file without copying data, in this case, raster data will be read directly from the original graphic file. To improve import performance, the user can disable transaction logging. In the dialog of importing matrixes from the SRTM, GeoTIFF, IMG formats, the ability to eliminate undefined heights by mode of linear interpolation of neighboring known values has been added.

Operator.p3d library of three-dimensional symbols of operator.rsc classifier has been improved. There are added the simplified models of Russian military equipment for displaying at distances far from the observer. This approach increases the speed of displaying a three-dimensional terrain model on maps of the operational situation with a large amount of equipment. Thus the nearest view of models remains detailed, corresponding to specific types of weapons. The operator.rsc classifier provides preparation of special maps for all types and branches of the RF Armed Forces.

Specialists of KB "Panorama" have prepared and placed a map of Krasnoyarsk Krai on the geoportal "Bank of spatial data". The map has been formed according to OpenStreetMap data, source data were obtained from Geofabrik website. 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.rsc) and was saved into a packed project (mptz). The MPTZ format project includes a digital map of the region's territory (country, subject of the federation, administrative region), a map of the administrative-territorial division of the region and a digital classifier. 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".

KB "Panorama" has developed the GIS ToolKit version 13.1.1 for creating GIS applications in the environment of C++ Builder, Delphi Embarcadero. In the new version the possibility has been added for request and display of the data about map objects from geoportals (geoservices) according to the OGC international protocol. The request is executed for a given point of the image. If several layers from different geoportals are open, then the request is made to the current layer specified in the dialog. Information about objects is requested by the geodetic coordinates of a point, transmitted and displayed in the form of an html page.

In this version a new installer of the GIS ToolKit is presented, in which an automatic customization of paths to GIS core libraries, source codes, setting of Windows environment variables have been added. The new installer, through the use of automatic settings, greatly simplifies the process of installing the GIS ToolKit into the palette of development environment components.

The GIS ToolKit consists of a set of visual components (supplied in source code) and API functions of the GIS core for direct access to spatial data. The toolkit is intended for the development of client-server and desktop 32-bit and 64-bit applications that require processing and visualization of spatial data. Spatial data can be located both at the workplace (direct access to data) and in the local network or the Internet (components of access to the GIS Server or data exchange using international protocols are used).

The new version of the program is available for download on the Download page.

Specialists of KB "Panorama" have prepared 8 demonstration thematic web-projects for familiarization with possibilities of the "Geoportal Region" complex for OS Astra Linux SE, Alt 8 SP, Ubuntu and others with support of the platform Elbrus and Intel. Examples include a photorealistic three-dimensional model of the Earth, a system for storing and updating spatial data, a thematic Agro-portal for agricultural management, a geoportal of open data of the Ministry of Emergencies of Russia, a geoinformation system for monitoring vehicles, a reference information system of Ecuador, and also three-dimensional city models.

The information geoportal "Map of world" is a tool for accessing the spatial data infrastructure, contains tools for creating and updating digital maps of terrain and city plans based on remote sensing data, a processing materials of space and aerial imagery of the terrain, forming a geospatial database and metadata base, providing collective remote access to data via the web interface.

Geoportals "3D-model of the Earth" and "3D-model of territories" supplement spatial model with three-dimensional representation of terrain and/or specified objects (buildings, transport, results of modelling). The area of the territory and the degree of detail can be increased while maintaining high display speed due to the tiled structure of the three-dimensional database. The model can be filled by importing individual objects and/or territories from various exchange formats, as well as from photorealistic three-dimensional models of unlimited size (TLS, OC3). The model can vary from the view of the Earth against the background of stars to a detailed image of underground communications.

The portal "Bank of spatial data" presents the possibilities of organizing storage, accounting and issuance of cartographic materials in vector, raster and matrix form. The portal contains vector maps in SXF format, generated on the basis of data from open sources (OpenStreetMap, VMap0). The spatial data includes maps of: subjects of the Russian Federation, countries and cities of the near and far abroad. In total, over 200 vector maps and 6000 matrix data with a total volume of 50 GB. Specialists of KB "Panorama" weekly update and refresh the content of the information on the portal. All published data is distributed free of charge under a free license.

Agricultural producers get access to agricultural GIS of an enterprise from anywhere in the world through the use of the "Agroportal". The geoportal is intended for agricultural management, provides the creation of an electronic map of the contours of the fields of the economy, the maintenance of the soil fertility base and the electronic corded field history book. Agroportal is integrated with the monitoring system of agricultural machinery and vehicles and includes services for automating various calculations, including: the need for mineral fertilizers, vehicle mileage, cultivated arable land and others. The calculation results can be presented in the form of thematic cartograms displayed together with background information, cadastral data and the contours of agricultural land for a visual display of the analyzed indicator (distribution of crops, planned and actual yield, the progress of sowing or harvesting, and others).

"Geoportal of open data of EMERCOM of Russia" provides systematized information about the forces of the Unified State System for the Prevention and Response of Emergency Situations (RSChS) and about facilities of economy and infrastructure on the territory of the Russian Federation. The geoportal of open data of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia makes it possible to simulate the situation as a result of emergencies according to the following scenarios: terrorist act, man-made emergencies (at biological, chemical, radiation-hazardous facilities and others) and natural characters (fire, flood, flooding, mudflows/landslides and others). All simulation results, including spatial data, can be printed or saved into a file for later use. In addition, the Geoportal provides standard opportunities for working with spatial data (working with a map, selecting and viewing a territory, selecting objects on a map, and others).

Geoportal "Ecuador" provides information on the political and administrative division of the country (as of 2017). Information about the territorial structure of the state is presented in the form of maps and a short text description for each administrative unit. As a cartographical basis, the map of Ecuador at the scale of 1: 1 000 000 and the scheme of organizing the territory at level of provinces and cantons are used.

Geoprotal "Dispatch center" is intended for monitoring of motor transport based on GLONASS/GPS navigation of the technical means and provides: data collection from the onboard equipment installed on mobile technical means (objects of monitoring), displaying the location of monitoring objects and their characteristics against the background of the map.
