KB "Panorama" developed GIS "Operator" version 14.2.4 for OS "Astra Linux Special Edition" (release "Smolensk"), OS "Alt 8 SP" (architecture x86-64) and RED OS. The new version implements the task of generating nomenclature sheets of topographic maps for the specified area, adds a new type of software product licensing over the network, improves the quality of displaying graphic symbols on the map, improves the display of sea charts, and adds new tools for specifying the dimensions of the created map objects. The possibilities of obtaining cartographic data have been improved for preparation of the report documents. The interface has been improved for managing the selection of open digital maps.

The new task "Formation of map sheets by coordinates" is designed to create a topographic area of work according to the specified dimensions and sheet nomenclature. The user can set the boundaries of the area to be created by entering values in degrees or meters in the dialog interface. If there is an open map, it is possible to use additionally an arbitrary map object, fragment or dimensions of the entire map as initial data. The list of nomenclature sheets is formed in accordance with the generally accepted rules for designating a map sheet. The multi-sheet map obtained as a result of the task can later be used as input data for other tasks (for example, cutting a document into sheets to speed up the display of a large amount of data). For the convenience of the user, the list of selected items can be exported to a text file and used as input data in the next session of working with the task.

The type of software product licensing "Floating hardware license (USB-key)" has been added, which lets to dynamically configure a set of computers on which the work with GIS "Operator" will be performed. When using this type of licensing, USB security key is connected to only one workstation on which the license server is installed. At local workstations with GIS "Operator", no additional physical means are required to activate the product, it is enough just to provide network access to the license server and to perform a few simple steps to configure the program. For convenience to control the set of software products to which the user has access, the license type setup dialog provides the interface for viewing license data: license availability, license and technical support expiration dates, operating system type, and a list of available software products.

The mode for creating the object with the selected drawing method "Horizontal rectangle" has been improved. When performing the interactive selection of a rectangle on the map through the context menu of the mode, it is possible to call the dialog for setting the rectangle size by specifying numerical values for the width, height and area of the selected area. The lengths of the sides for the rectangle can be set in meters or kilometers on the ground, or in millimeters on the map. The area can be specified in square meters, square kilometers or hectares on the ground, or in square millimeters on the map. It is supported to specify the dimensions of the rectangle to create a new map object, taking into account the standard dimensions of the page printed on the device by selecting from the page format list. It is added the display of the list for open maps in the main menu in the section "Window". The list of open maps in the main menu provides more flexible settings for selecting the current active map when several digital maps are open at the same time. The menu clearly shows the names of the maps loaded into the program. In the list of maps, the currently installed active map is marked. Clicking on another item in the list of open maps switches the active map displayed on the screen.

It has been improved he quality of displaying graphical symbols on the map and in the symbol preview windows of the properties dialogs of the selected map object and Classifier Editor. For graphic characters, the image of which is stored in files, the anti-aliasing algorithm is applied during display, which lets to get rid of "pixeling" effect when the character size is changed in the classifier. Using the anti-aliasing, when displaying graphic symbols, it expands the user's options for customizing the type of symbols in the classifier and it improves the visibility of the map when displayed on the screen.

It is improved displaying of sea charts according to the standard S52. The implementation of the procedures has been refined: Depval - generation of the depth values based on attribute values for underwater obstacles, taking into account underlying objects, Udwhaz - requesting the code of the displayed symbol and display flag, taking into account the depth of the obstacle or requesting the code of an isolated underwater hazard with the depth less than the safety contour, Wrecks - displaying the remains of a shipwreck.

It is improved options for saving digital map data in vector format PDF. Vector map data is saved to a file PDF along with rasters and DEMs loaded into them. Setting the display of map layers using the parameter "Above map" lets to control the movement of the required layers to the fore both when the map is rendered on the screen, and when generating a saved image for the vector file PDF. Setting the selection of a fragment for the displayed area gives the opportunity to display an image of the entire work area or a map fragment limited by the rectangular area, a selected map object, or the size of the current map window displayed on the screen.

The vector format PDF preserves the quality of the map image at any set display scale, which expands the user's ability to choose the scale of the generated file PDF. The mode of saving the map to vector format PDF can be used when preparing reporting documents.

GIS "Operator" SE is the universal domestic geographic information system for law enforcement agencies. The program is designed for accumulation, storage, automated processing and display of data, calculation results and forecasts with geospatial reference. GIS "Operator" SE contains means of 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 3D model, predicting the consequences of emergencies 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 others.

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

KB "Panorama" has developed Data bank of digital maps and remote sensing data version 8.1. The new version adds support for exporting large amounts of metadata of vector and raster data, analog maps and images, geodetic data, documents and accompanying materials to exchange formats (XML, XLSX, CSV, DOC). This gives the opportunity to use different software for analysis, preparing materials for download, and generating reports.

Display, import and export of points of the planned-altitude basis (PAB) is carried out taking into account whether the data belongs to closed or open information. When the processing of confidential information is prohibited, this data (coordinates in the state system and heights) for a certain type of points is not processed, displayed or uploaded. The differentiation of rights makes it possible to organize separate and protected access to information. The process of deleting a large number of records (more than 10 thousand) has been accelerated. New coordinate systems have been added to the reference book. It has been expanded list of diagnostic and error messages.

Data security is ensured by the differentiation of access rights based on the security tools that are part of the operating system. It is supported basic authentication, digest authentication, system authentication (web server tools), and domain authentication (Kerberos or ActiveDirectory). Additional security is provided by the use of pass-through authentication when working with the database. Connection to the database occurs with the rights of the user working with the system. The complex is adapted to work on a wide range of operating systems (Astra Linux SE, ALT Linux, Elbrus, Ubuntu, CentOS, MS Windows and others) and architectures (Intel, Elbrus, Baikal). The program is registered in the register of domestic software under the number 1862. Data bank of digital maps and remote sensing data is the basis for building the infrastructure of spatial data of the federal, regional and municipal levels, in corporate information systems. Within the framework of a single geoinformation space, Data bank of digital maps and remote sensing data implements the collection, storage, quality control, search and issuance of spatial data in exchange formats. The spatial data selected with the help of the program can be placed for multi-user access on GIS Server and published according to the international standards OGC WFS, WFS-T, WMS, WMTS, WCS on the application server GIS WebService SE.

Users can access data both from a thin client (using GIS WebServer SE) and from desktop applications (GIS "Panorama", GIS "Operator"). Data bank of digital maps and remote sensing provides the construction for the cloud storage of spatial data, providing access to this data, automated formation and updating of geo-covers.The current state of spatial data is displayed using maps that are maintained for each type of stored data: vector maps, remote sensing data, elevation matrices and terrain models. It provides remote placement of spatial data sets in file storage, maintaining versions of stored sets, updating maps-schemes of data availability, automated collection and generation of metadata, formation and updating of geo-covers. Automated collection and formation of metadata is carried out according to the standards ISO 19115:2003, Geographic information - Metadata and ISO/TS 19139, Geographic information - Metadata - XML schema implementation. Reduced copies of data images are automatically generated. Checksums of files and completeness of data sets are checked. The placement of spatial data in the file storage is carried out with integrity verification, control of the structure and content of the data. The results of the work are logged and entered into the metadata database. There are provided automatic backup of metadata and spatial data storage with integrity control and data recovery. Multilingual interface is supported.

The portal "Bank of spatial data" demonstrates the possibilities for organizing the storage, accounting and issuance of vector maps, remote sensing data, elevation matrices and terrain models. The portal contains vector maps in format SXF based on data from open sources (OpenStreetMap, VMap0). The structure of spatial data includes maps: subjects of the Russian Federation, countries and cities of near and far surroundings. In total, over 300 vector maps and 6700 matrix data with a total volume of 70 GB. Specialists of KB "Panorama" weekly update the content of the information on the portal. All published data is distributed free of charge in accordance with a free license.

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

Specialists of KB "Panorama" prepared and posted on the geoportal "Bank of spatial data" maps of the Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Novgorod and Pskov regions. The maps are based on the data OpenStreetMap. To operate the maps, it is possible to use the program GIS Panorama Mini or other software products of KB "Panorama".

The maps are converted to the modernized 1:5000 large-scale plan classifier (map5000m) and saved to the packaged project (MPTZ). The placement of updates in the spatial data bank was performed using the program Data bank of the digital maps and remote sensing data. Publication of the contents for the spatial data bank on the geoportal and access to data for downloading are implemented by means of GIS WebServer SE.

Free maps based on data OpenStreetMap in format MPTZ are available for download on the page Digital maps.

KB "Panorama" has developed GIS "Panorama" version 14.5.2. The new version implements the saving a set of open spatial data, including geoportals, vector maps, images, matrices, databases into pyramids of tiles in the format Mbtiles or KMZ according to the selected scale range. The format Mbtiles is a database SQLite that stores images in png, jpg, or png8 formats. Pyramids of tiles can be published via the protocol OGC WMTS by the service GIS WebService SE or displayed in the programs GIS "Operator", GIS "Panorama", in various mobile applications. The purpose to form a set of rasters (tiles) is to accelerate the display in WEB and mobile applications of spatial data containing a large number of objects or occupying large amounts of data. The pyramid Mbtiles is formed in the coordinate system EPSG:3857 with the pyramid type GoogleMapsCompatible. It is possible to create tiles using the menu File – Export to a pyramid of tiles - Pyramid of tiles Mbtiles/Pyramid of tiles KMZ.

The task "Report Designer" has been improved. It is added dynamic display of sash lines when drawing new insets. This lets to make mutual alignment of report elements already at the stage of their creation. It is added the ability to lock and unlock the design map of the project (report maps). After the report project has been created and configured, it is prepared for use. It consists in setting restrictions on the display and selection of objects contained on auxiliary maps. This reduces the number of mouse clicks when selecting objects of the background map, simplifies the solution of computational tasks and the usual editing of the information background map included in the project. Objects located on design and auxiliary maps during the work with the ready-made project, it is not included in the list of objects found at the cursor point when clicking on the map. The new mode of report designer "Lock Project", which is included in the group of modes "Project", it prohibits selection for objects contained on the report map, which includes report design elements (frames, insets, additional design elements). When deleting or adding additional maps to the report project, changing the properties of the added maps, It is necessary to save MPT-project (File - Save). The main properties of the map (Editing, Copying, Object select) are assigned in the dialog "Data List" ("Properties" button). If the background map included in the project, it is MPT-project itself, it is necessary to open this project separately, configure the visibility and access to the maps included in it, and resave the project. It is improved saving projects and reports to a packaged MPTZ project. If the display area restriction is set for the source data, then the data are recorded to the packaged project with cropping within the specified area. This lets to reduce the volume of reports or work maps by several times. When saving a report in MPTZ on the background map in the task "Report Designer", the data will be automatically clipped to the boundaries of the report. If the maps in the project contain references in semantics to other MPT projects or maps (for example, insets), then they will be automatically packed. This makes it possible to simplify the preparation of working maps for specified territories with the addition of inset sections for maps of different scale, images, legend of conventional symbols, tables and documents, recording all information in one compressed file. The packaged MPTZ project is supported in software products of KB "Panorama" on all platforms, including mobile devices.

The task "Raster editor" has been improved. The new mode "Restore" has been added to the raster editor panel, and the mode "Step back" has been improved. The specified modes provide step-by-step restoration of the rasters edited in the task, both backward ("Step back") and forward ("Restore"). While drawing on a raster, auxiliary files are created with the original and edited blocks of the edited raster. Auxiliary files are generated in the temporary files folder. The modes "Step Back" and "Restore" are functioning in one session of the raster editor. After the "Raster Editor" panel is closed, the auxiliary files are deleted and restoration of the raster imagebecomes unavailable. The mode "Building the graph network" has been improved. There are recorded all the selected characteristics of the objects in the objects of the new graph (arcs), on which the graph was built. If there is no characteristic in the graph classifier, the characteristic is recorded into arcs in special semantics with a service code starting from 660001. This method lets to save not only the value, but also the name of the source map classifier semantics.

There are improved topographic fonts designed to prepare for the publication of topographic maps of various scales. The changes have been made to the fonts P151, T132. Fixed display errors of characters, changed their width and distance between them. It is added support for the Cyrillic character set to the font D432.

The construction of the marginal design of topographic maps has been improved. It is fixed the placement of kilometer grid captions, adjacent zone kilometer grid strokes, geodetic grid, terrain conditions, and factory code. It has been refined the metric of dashes for the kilometer grid of the adjacent zone for maps of scales from 1 : 10,000 to 1 : 200,000. It has been ensured the deletion of kilometer grid labels that intersect with the geodetic grid coordinates and with indices of the angular zones for maps of scales 1 : 500,000 and 1 : 1,000,000. When constructing a linear scale, objects with graphic design are replaced by standard objects, the appearance of which is described in the classifier. The construction parameters (FRM files) have been updated and the classifiers used to build the marginal design of topographic maps at scales from 1 : 10,000 to 1: 1,000,000. The type of fonts used for the captions of the margin design has been clarified in the classifiers, the square second points of the geodesic frame have been replaced with round ones. To build a marginal design, it is necessary to select in the main menu: Tasks - Preparation for publication - Marginal design.

The module "Geodesic editor" has been improved. It has been added a step for changing the initial number in the dialog "Automatic completion of the semantics for selected objects". The boundary lines of each plot are formed in accordance with its points in the dialog "Designing a plot with boundary lines".

The module "Complex of cadastral tasks" has been improved. When forming a boundary plan, there were implemented algorithms for analyzing the semantics of characteristic points: "Cadastral number" paired with "Object part number" and "Registration number in the register".

Unloading into the boundary plan in the section "Information on the performed measurements and calculations" the information about the methods of determining coordinates (METHOD) and formulas for determining the points SCP (FORMULA) are performed in accordance with the semantics of boundary points. For generation a boundary plan in the file XML in the section "Information on changed land plots and their parts" (ChangeParcel) of the element "Contours of the multi-contour land plot, the transformation of which is carried out" (TransformationContours), it is added reading information about registered numbers (PART_NUMB) of the external contours MKU for the option cadastral work "Section ...". The composition of MCU does not need to include removed contours, only those are changing (transforming) are needed. When recording the error formula for determining the area to the report, there has been added the ability to insert a formula from the program settings with substituted values. If there is semantic value FORMALA_S, then it is inserted. If there is no semantics, a formula is inserted with values with the selection option: "formula", "formula and initial data", "formula, initial data and error value".

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

KB "Panorama" has developed the Converter of large-scale plans to format DXF version 8.6.0. The program lets to generate a large-scale topographic map or plan in format DXF in standard symbols adopted for cartographic work in the Russian Federation. In the new version of the program, the functionality has been expanded in terms of obtaining a drawing in the required units of measurement. When converting data, the coordinates of the source map objects are automatically converted to the established units of measurement. This lets to set up symbol templates for conversion in various programs that work in different coordinate systems. The program supports coordinate systems with the following units: inches, feet, miles, millimeters, centimeters, meters, kilometers, micro-inches, and so on up to light years and parsecs.

As part of import substitution, most domestic companies - manufacturers of cartographic data that previously used AutoDesk products (for example, AutoCAD) in their work, are forced to switch to alternative software that supports the format DXF. To ensure a more accurate transfer of the color palette for objects in the output map (DXF drawing), the functionality of setting the color code by index and RGB code has been corrected in the new version of the converter. This will display map data in the specified color palette when opened with alternative software.The new version of the converter now displays more detailed information about the license. In addition to the license key number, the user has access to information about the license validity period and the end date of the program technical support. The package includes classifiers and libraries of symbols in format DXF for large-scale maps and plans of scales 1: 500, 1: 1,000, 1: 2,000, 1: 5,000.

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