In KB "Panorama" the GIS "Panorama" version 14.1.0 has been developed. In the new version the tools of editing digital terrain maps, plans of cities and special maps, formation of floor plans, calculations on a map, preparations of maps for printing, quality control of matrixes of heights and others have been updated.

In the "Map Editor" task on the "Graphic objects" panel, the "Create table" mode has been improved. After selecting the link to the table file (csv, txt), display of data from this file has been added when creating and editing the view and table parameters. If the table parameters are customized for the first time, then the number of table columns is automatically calculated by the number of values in the row of the csv-file and the correspondence of the columns is assigned. When creating each new object, you can select a link to your csv-file. The selected csv-file, if necessary, is copied into the \csv subdirectory of the map directory, on which the object of the "Table" type is created.

The functionality of task the "Floor Plan Editor", which is a part of the Geodesy editor, has been expanded. There are added the tools for generating design templates, for example, corner legends, with the ability to use them when creating new documents.

The possibility of forming a floor plan using the description of the geometry of the building, transmitted through the clipboard, has been implemented. To do this, the corresponding object is selected on the territory map and copied to the clipboard using the "Copy selected objects" option, and on the floor plan document, the object is inserted into the document using a special mode. This automatically positions the object in the center of the document and rotates the object so that it fits optimally into the printable area for portrait or landscape page orientation. Along with the insertion of the building, the "North direction" object is automatically created and placed into the document, which actually reflects the orientation of the inserted object in space, taking into account its rotation angle.

Tools for saving copies of the generated document in JPG, PNG, TIF, PDF formats have been added. A new "Move" mode has been added, with help of which it is possible not only to move objects, but also to carry out their deleting, a snap of metric points to grid knots, to operate order of displaying objects and to change a font of text. Manual input of the dimensions of created objects in a special pop-up window has been implemented. There are added the tools for editing object nodes: insert, delete, move.

Interface for quick, dialog-free input of dimensions has been implemented when creating and editing objects. In the process of creation and interactive editing of objects in the GIS status bar at the bottom part of a window the current dimensions which values can be changed by the operator are displayed. In this case, the line of input values can contain simultaneously several parameters, separated by a comma. For example, when drawing a rectangle: width, height and diagonal, when editing a segment of an object: distance to the previous and next point. There is no need to call a special dialog to enter dimension values. You just need to enter the values of the parameters, separating them with a comma. In addition, there is no need to "click" with the mouse in the window of parameter input. It becomes active immediately after pressing the digits, symbols "," and "-" on the keyboard. However, only one of the parameters can be entered. Including the last one, indicating the required number of commas before it. For example, when creating a rectangle with a fixed height, it is enough to enter one number, to enter the width of the rectangle, it is enough to enter, for example, ",20.45", and in the case of a fixed value of the diagonal length, you can enter: ",,10.56".

In the task "Map Computer" the mode "Crossing of objects" has been improved. Ability has been added to select units for displaying the area of objects and record the area of intersection of objects into the specified semantics.

The technology of preparing the map for printing has been improved. In order to ensure the correct placement of bergstrichs relative to additional isolines (in the center of isolines' hachures), a procedure for cutting the additional isolines at the junction points of the bergstrichs has been added. In this case, the cut adjacent contours of the isoline always begin and end with hachures, and the bergstrichs is placed between them - in the center of the total hachures of the isoline created by the beginning and end of adjacent adjoining contours. The parameters of the procedure for cutting additional isolines for maps of scales from 1: 500 up to 1: 1 000 000 have been added into the installation of the program (for classifiers map500.rsc, map2000.rsc, map5000m.rsc, map10000.rsc, 25t05gm.rsc, 50t05gm.rsc, 100t05gm. rsc, 200t05gm.rsc, 500t05gm.rsc, 1m05gm.rsc). To process additional isolines, select in the main menu: Tools - Map processing by scenario - Open script file - for a map with a scale of 1: 100 000 with the classifier 100t05gm.rsc select the file c:\Users\Public\Documents\Panorama\100t05gm.preprint.process and click the "Run" button.

The mode of profiling "By triangulation" of the "Control of absolute elevations" task has been improved. For an elimination of superfluous messages the checks of occurrence of contours into the cliff, into the reservoir have been added. The message about skipping contours is issued only if the distance between them on the profile is greater than the threshold (0.8 mm of the map). If the difference in elevations of neighboring lakes is less than half of the relief section and the "Issue warnings" mode is not set, then the message is not displayed. The "By triangulation" profiling mode reduces the likelihood of misses when searching for controlled elevations, which reduces the number of uninformative messages and facilitates the analysis of control results.

The task "Check of vector map quality" has been improved. The new type of control the "Control of correspondence of relief objects and height matrixes" has been added. In the presence of a matrix of heights for each point of object with 3D metric a check of correspondence of value of the third coordinate of a point of the metrics and value of height in a matrix is carried out. If the third coordinate in the object metric is absent, then the correspondence of the value "Absolute height" of the object semantics and value of height in a matrix is checked.

The task "Import of raster data" has been improved. Import of rasters of format MrSID (SID, JPEG2000, NTF, ECW) has been added. The MrSID format is used to compress raster graphics. By means of this format, packed huge raster images such as aerial photography and satellite photos can be quickly viewed piecemeal without the need to unpack the entire file.

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

Specialists of KB "Panorama" prepared and placed the map of the Arkhangelsk region on the geoportal "Bank of spatial data". The map was formed using OpenStreetMap data, source data was 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) 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".

Specialists of KB "Panorama" have prepared a video lesson of using the mode "View map control log" which is intended for the analysing the results of execution of programs of checking and editing a digital vector map.

Dialog of viewing results contains a message box, as well as the controls for displaying messages and associated map objects.

The dialog title contains the map name, the total number of messages, the number of shown messages.

The header label of a control's stage is entered by the program of control and specifies the beginning of messages of this stage.

The message line contains:

- serial number of the message;

- marks«+», «*» (may be absent);

- object number (may be absent);

- text of error message or object editing.

Moving through the list of messages is performed using the "Next (>)", "Back (<)" buttons, as well as with the mouse wheel.

Clicking in the message line with the object number causes the transition to the current object in the map window.

Double-clicking in the message line causes a transition to the current object in the map window with activation of the «select map object» dialog.

The "Select" button calls the object selection dialog.

By clicking the "Select" button, the current object is selected on the map. To select a group of objects, use the Shift or Ctrl keys to select several lines in the list, and then press the Select button.

The "Clear" button is intended to delete all messages in the list

The contents of list of displayed messages is customized by clicking the "Filter" button. In the settings dialog, you can set the types of errors, layers and nomenclature sheets of the map, the type of localization.

The message table can be saved in the csv format.

You can get acquainted with the training materials in the "Video lessons" section.
