In KB "Panorama" the GIS "Panorama" version 14.5.4 has been developed. In the new version a connection of spatial databases has been simplified, support of a tree of layers in the Classifier Editor has been added, controlling the relief's form on 3D model was improved. The tools of the "Map Editor" and "Preparation for printing" tasks have been supplemented, the tools for constructing passages in settlements in the "Automated generalization of topographical maps" task have been improved, and the tools for preparing cadastral documents have been expanded.

When opening different maps in one session (DBM-projects) from the same spatial database the repeated requests for user authorization are excluded. The diagnostic protocol of connecting to a spatial database has been refined to analyze data errors. For minimizing errors of entering the database connection parameters, control of admissible values has been improved and the lists for choosing admissible parameters have been added.

In the "Map Editor" task, the "Common points" mode on the "Topology" panel has been improved. For the convenience of analyzing the consistency of the contours of two arbitrary objects, common points, mismatched points and intersection points of the contours are displayed in different colors. A pop-up message is displayed on the screen with the numbers of objects and the number of common points and intersection points of the contours. The message is stored in the protocol of the program work session.

The task "View map control log" of the map editor has been improved, designed to analyze the results of the execution of programs for control and editing of a digital vector map. To improve the convenience of editing the object metrics, the "Automatic selection" option has been added. When viewing inspection results and selecting an option on the map, the current message list object is automatically selected. This eliminates additional operator actions for selecting an object on the map and allows you to quickly switch to the Map Editor modes: Edit point, Delete object, Delete subobject and others.

Ability has been added for the directly open graphic files without dialog of conversion to RSW via the File - Open menu, for quick access to various terrain images. When graphic files are opened for the first time, a service RSW file is automatically created without copying the image and a TAF file with a pyramid of reduced images, if they were not in the original file. To work with large images, it is recommended to open files with converting of image to RSW format via the menu File - Import rasters and matrix. This will speed up the display of graphics, allow you to process a large number of files of arbitrary sizes with a limited memory area, and speed up the conversion of image projections on the fly.

In the "Classifier editor" task, tools for maintaining a tree of object layers have been updated. In each top-level layer, a tree of object classes can be created. Classes are lower-level layers that, together with layers, form a layered tree of layers. The division of objects into layers and classes makes it possible to describe the classification of objects of any hierarchy. There is added the ability to number classes automatically in the form of layer sub-items or using class keys that are entered by the user and can have special numeric and alphabetic class designations. Into the table of objects view on all bookmarks a switching of the view of objects from printer to the screen view and vice versa has been added. On the "Objects" tab, switching occurs when you select the "Printer" or "Display" object view parameters bookmarks. Thus, you can immediately evaluate the components of the parameters of the object display and their changes.

In the "Navigator 3D" task, a change in the relief scale for the entire surface of the model of the displayed area has been added. For the "map" type surface view, the display of matrixes has been added in the form that is configured in the two-dimensional display window of data (color, grayscale, shadows only). These changes make it possible to better assess the relief of the area under consideration. Small bumps in the terrain become more pronounced when the scale of the terrain is increased to 800% and the display of elevation matrixes in the shadows is added. Thus, it is possible to assess the difficulty of passing the route being laid, the convenience of observing the terrain, the possibility of building extended objects (cable networks and pipelines).

The task "Preparation for printing" has been improved. Placement of filling characters on the polygon with control over imposition on other conventional characters or signatures was automated. If at the calculated point of placement of the filling character, another character falls into the dimensions of the sign, then the filling character at this point is not recorded. For those types of signs with which the intersection is allowed, an exclusion filter is set. For example, a filling sign of the meadow can be placed on top of horizontals or polygons with a white background, and so on. To design the corresponding types of objects for publication in the classifier, the display of filling signs on electronic maps is disabled, or filling signs applied over the entire surface are removed, and placement is performed taking into account the intersection with other conventional signs. To automate the process of preparing for publication, the procedure for placing signs with the appropriate settings is included in the general design scenario of the published map sheet.

Procedure of scenario "Contours simplification on turn" has been added. The procedure allows you to replace the view of a contour section on a bend or turn with a simpler one. The elements of the contour, which is displayed using a typesetting line that includes vector signs, may overlap at the places of bending or turning, which impairs visual perception. For example, objects of the "Earth сliffs" type are displayed on the map using a dashed line. In narrow sections of the contour, strokes can intersect with each other. The procedure "Contours simplification on turn" searches for fragments of the contour where elements are superimposed, and replaces the appearance of the contour in these sections with the one specified in the scenario. By running this procedure, the user can, for example, replace the type of objects of the type "Earth cliffs" at bends or turns with the type "Edge of ravine, washout", which is displayed on the map using a simple line without dashes.

In the "Automated generalization of topographic maps" task, the "Formation of passages in settlements" mode has been improved, which creates additional passages on the map in the intervals between neighboring quarters and sides of streets. Quality of formation of passages has been improved. The unacceptable intersections of the created passage with map objects have been eliminated. Improved the shape of passages located along quarters of complex shape. When creating a passage, the proximity of the passage points to its source objects (quarter, side of the street) is checked. If the passage points are closer than the junction threshold, then the creation of the passage is not performed.

The module "Geodesy editor" has been improved. The "Route calibration" mode has been updated. Calibration of a linear object based on data from a CSV file has been implemented. In the "Filling out the report for the object" mode, the rounding of geodetic coordinates to 10 decimal places is implemented. Onto the position of the ROW01 marker, there is implemented the insertion of geodetic coordinates WGS-84 from the map object - the binding of the forest area. The search for the binding object is performed automatically, and it is mapped in advance and the necessary identification semantics, the Number of the cutting area, are filled for it.

The module "Cadastral documents" has been improved. In the "Reading the cadastral plan of the territory and updating the map" mode, there is corrected the order of reading information about the spatial component in the XML file. If there is no description of the individual contours of the cadastral object, then the processing of the metric and the formation of the object on the map is not performed. The "Correction of registry errors" mode has been refined based on feedback materials from representatives of the FCP. The order of formation of the text report has been changed and the templates have been updated. There is improved the module for saving into the XML document of the land survey plan version 9 of the ObjectsRealty element - Information about real estate objects located on the formed/modified land plot for recording additional elements the ApartHouse - Apartment building and PropertyComplex - Enterprise as a property complex (PIC). When editing the item Buildings constructions (list), a dialog is called to enter the values of four repeatable semantics. Into the semantics of the "Sign of an apartment building" you need to write the text Yes, if the property is an apartment building. Into semantics the "Sign of enterprise as a property complex", you need to write the text Yes, if the land plot (property right to the land plot) is a part of the PIC). In the "Land survey plan" mode, when forming an XML document, the algorithm for forming the SpecifyRelatedParcel element has been changed for the case of clarifying the description of coordinates of an adjacent section of the ChangeBorder boundaries. An analysis of point objects has been added, taking into account their belonging to a specific object of cadastral works. "Correction of registry errors" mode has been improved. Analysis of point objects in the points of the metric of cadastral objects has been added, taking into account identification semantics. Now you can use different sets of characteristic points for adjacent objects with a common section of borders. At the same time, the names of characteristic points should be unique only within one cadastral object. Filling the text report and XML file has been refined, taking into account the new algorithm for analyzing characteristic points. When forming an XML document of the land survey plan, in the ExistParcel/RelatedParcels element "Information about land plots adjacent to the specified land plot", the value of the Definition attribute "Designation of a characteristic point or part of the border" is filled in taking into account the search for characteristic points, taking into account the identification semantics of the adjacent land plot.

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

In KB "Panorama" is developed the GIS "Panorama AGRO" version 5.3. The program is adapted for work with the vector, raster and matrix data, created by GIS "Panorama" version 14. The new version of the program optimizes the construction of a hierarchical data tree of field passports and a switching between elements in the list of working arable land plots. The performance of processing and displaying information has been improved with a large (tens of thousands) number of records in the field passport database. Support of providers of access to the attributive data has been expanded and their loading at the time of program start has been accelerated. The help system has been updated and translated into a web-format. The tools for statistical data analysis and designing of farmland maps are built-in.

The new version supports tools of statistical data analysis. A type of programmable signs has been added into the agro10t.rsc classifier for displaying diagrams by semantics of objects. The diagram description includes a list of codes of semantics corresponding to sectors and/or columns of the diagram. Semantics are filled for a contour of an agricultural land. For example, requirement for nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, acidity degree, humus content and others. The diagrams are updated automatically when the values of the characteristics of the work area change. Diagrams, together with the change in the color of the working area, can be used to visualize the state of agricultural land.

Support of service semantics influencing the size and color of a conventional sign, taking into account type of objects has been added. For example, for titles, in addition to the color, font type and height are available. By changing the values of the semantics of an object through the "Select Object" dialog, you can give individual features to the conventional signs of various objects, for example, change the color of the line or the background color of the polygon.

The licensing mechanism has been updated. Into the "About" window the information on the licence was added: number, type and expiration date of the license, as well as the expiration date of technical support.

GIS "Panorama AGRO" is designed to automate the management of the farming system of enterprises. The system allows you to create and edit the boundaries and attributes of agricultural land, plan agrotechnical activities, prepare tasks for drivers and machine operators, calculate indicators of actual performed works, and generate relevant reports.

In addition to the GIS "Panorama AGRO", the range of programs for agriculture includes "Workstation of agronomist" and GIS WebServer AGRO. Professional GIS "Panorama" is intended for preparing cartographic data. Storage, protection and authorized access are provided by the GIS Server. Programs are fully compatible at the level of data. This allows you to create scalable systems of any complexity at the corporate, regional and federal levels.

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

In KB "Panorama" the GIS WebServer SE version 6.11.0 has been developed for operating systems Astra Linux, CentOS, Ubuntu, MS Windows. In the new version the map editing tools have been improved, possibilities of work with a map legend have been expanded, the administration module has been improved.

The mode of group editing of objects has been updated in the Map Editor. For several objects selected on the map, you can perform the operation of moving, rotating or scaling. Group editing is performed in one step, which allows you to quickly make changes into the map and reduces editing time. The user can cancel a group operation on objects. As a result of the undo, all objects that have been changed will be restored. Cancelling and restoring operations of editing is carried out on the basis of the transaction log operated by a request to the server. Into the Map Legend component a fast search of objects has been added, legend contents can be viewed as the list of objects or in a hierarchical view. In the map window there is added a display of the cursor coordinates in various units - meters, degrees, radians of a current projection of a map. The choice of cursor coordinate units (meters, degrees, radians) is performed in the Options component.

GIS WebServer SE is used in the construction of closed corporate systems to ensure the protection of data having a security classification or a trade secret. The program is certified by the 2nd level of control over the absence of undeclared capabilities. GIS WebServer SE is implemented using the GIS WebToolKit SE, which can be used in development tools that use the JavaScript and TypeScript.

On the basis of GIS WebServer SE and other server products of KB "Panorama" the Regional GIS of the Ryazan region (RGIS RО) has been implemented. RGIS RО is a specialized multifunctional geoportal, the interactive capabilities of which provide access to reliable information about objects of various categories. RGIS RO is available to a wide range of users - to the authorities, citizens, organizations, including potential investors and private companies. The regional GIS of the Ryazan region helps in making decisions in various areas of socio-economic development.

New version of the program is posted on the website in the Download section.

Specialists of KB "Panorama" have prepared and posted on the geoportal "Bank of spatial data" a map of Jamaica, 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 of KB "Panorama" have prepared the GIS Constructor version 14.2.3 for Astra Linux Special Edition. The new version is aimed at certification in the information security certification system of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation for level 2 of control of the absence of undeclared capabilities in accordance with the governing document of the State Technical Commission of Russia and for the compliance of real and declared functionality in the documentation.

In the program a support of the packed formats of spatial data (MAPZ, SITZ, MPTZ) has been added. The volume of the packed data is reduced approximately in 3 times in comparison with volume of the initial data with the maximum accuracy of the metrics. If the map sheet is located in memory entirely it is unpacked in a multi-threaded mode when opening the data of sheet to speed up access. The packed MPTZ project is an archive of spatial data containing a complex representation of the territory in the form of vector maps of different levels of detail, rasters (terrain images) in RSW format, matrixes of heights and matrixes of quality characteristics of the terrain, insets from the same data, the links to data from the GIS Server and from geoportals by various protocols. The packaged MPTZ project is supported in the KB "Panorama" software products on all platforms, including mobile devices.

The toolkit allows you to implement in the developed GIS applications a direct connection to large spatial databases (millions of records) by using the support of DBM format. Information from the database is displayed in the form of vector maps of the area. GIS application will be able to simultaneously edit the contents of databases connected directly and through the GIS Server, carry out exchange of information between different databases, agree the coordinates and attributes of objects in different databases, jointly display information from different databases in the form of graphic layers, combine data with images , matrixes of heights, vector maps and data from various geoportals and web services. Spatial information from the database is displayed in the form of cartographic conventional symbols, which makes the editing process transparent for the user. The set of displayed and edited objects and their semantic characteristics can be flexibly specified using an SQL query.

In GIS Constructor a support of digital sea maps of IHO S63 standard has been implemented. An application system developer can add support for the standard into own application and register the application in the prescribed manner for obtaining a developer key. Files of data of a sea map will be transformed to the project of maps (MPT) containing a list of SITX files coded by a key of record from the user's permission. More detailed information is given in the document "Programmer's guide".

An automatic clustering algorithm is implemented to divide a set of point signs into groups and display them. Cluster descriptions are contained in the map classifier. The conventional sign of the cluster can be programmable, which allows you to select the type of cluster in various ways and change the properties of the sign depending on the number of objects in the cluster (signature of the number, size of the sign, brightness). When grouping more than one object of a given type in a virtual cell of a cluster, their conventional symbols will be automatically replaced by a symbol of the cluster, the center of which will have the average coordinate of the objects included into it. When you change the scale, the configuration of the clusters automatically changes.

The new version adds a mechanism for converting projections of raster and matrix data on the fly. The user gets the opportunity to combine an arbitrary set of spatial data without additional actions. The projection parameters will be automatically converted to the projection of the first opened map. In this case, all the necessary changes will be made in the RAM, which allows you to keep the original cartographic material unchanged. Over the obtained data set you can perform operations of updating, calculation, building a three-dimensional model.

There is accelerated an opening and first display of maps due to the formation of the "*.sol" file with a tree of territorial distribution of objects onto each sheet of the map. When the map is opened, the object tree is read and the first display is accelerated by 5-15 times (for a map with 2 million objects, the opening and first display is accelerated from 9-12 seconds to 1 second). In the absence of the "*.sol" file, the automatic construction of a tree and file saving are carried out.

The mechanism for displaying dynamic objects on the map has been improved. Now the typical task of displaying the trajectory of an object on the map can be solved by simply changing the coordinates of the object and the angle of rotation in its characteristics.

Display of rasters with smoothing has been added. At increasing the image of a raster more than in two times from the initial size in pixels the smoothing is carried out. The new algorithm of display allows to get rid of "pixelization" effect when you increase the rasters. Image smoothing is performed by bicubic interpolation method (by 16 nearest raster elements).

Abilities of displaying titles have been expanded. New properties of design the titles allow to mark the title by a shade, outline, a background and a frame, and also to format the text taking into account a spacing sign (an insert of spaces) and the chosen register (uppercase, lowercase, as in a sentence). There is added the ability to change the thickness of solid and dashed contours of objects by the value of the service semantics "Line thickness in mm" (31005). To display various tabular information on the map, a new graphic symbol "Table" has been developed. To display the table in the desired position, a point object is created that has a link to the CSV file in the semantics and a conventional symbol of the "Table" type.

API in Python language is included into GIS Constructor that provides access to several thousand functions of the MAPAPI-interface for spatial data analysis, automation of processes of creating and updating digital terrain models. There are several options for using scripts as part of a GIS application: a visual component of designing, a program interface of a call from the C/C++ language, direct writing and execution of Python scripts. Due to the fact that the Python scripting programming language has a large set of connected modules, the user receives an easy-to-use and extensive auxiliary toolkit (mathematical calculations, processing of text and graphic data, work with a network and another) when creating a GIS application.

In the new version, support for 3D spatial data tiles in the DB3D format has been added into the graphic component of displaying a three-dimensional terrain model. This will allow you to display accurate and realistic 3D models of unlimited size. The DB3D format is designed to store and display pyramids of 3D tiles packaged with metadata tables in SQLite format. Vector 3D tiles can be used to build a 3D terrain model in conjunction with other data sources: vector maps, space and aerial photographs, geoportals, point clouds, elevation matrixes.

In the new version the mechanism of reading files of digital maps in an exchange format (MIF/MID, TXF and others) has been improved. As a result, large files (for example, TXF larger than 4 GB) with incorrect characters may be imported. In this case, the erroneous sections will be skipped, and the import will continue. Into the list of supported formats JSON has been added, consisting of records of objects coordinates. Support of XML files having the size larger than 4 GB has been added. XML format processing is used in a wide range of tasks in the development of GIS applications (for example, importing data in GML format).

Support for layers from the Rosreestr geoportal has been added: Cadastral okrug, Cadastral districts, Cadastral quarters, Land plots, Land plots put up for auction, Red lines, Unified real estate complexes. Geoportal provides data in vector tile form in pbf (Protocolbuffer Binary Format) format. The data contains the coordinates of objects, signatures of plots, semantic characteristics.

Parameters for connecting to geoportals can be flexibly configured for each user by editing the wmslist_ru.xml file. The new version of the program is adapted to work in the OS "Astra Linux Special Edition" release "Smolensk" version 1.7.

GIS Constructor is a set of components for use in the visual programming environment of Qt Designer, which allows you to develop your own GIS applications. The visualization of the contents of digital maps is made in conventional symbols adopted for topographic, geographical and various special maps. Geoinformation system has ample opportunities for performing calculations, for providing display of spatial data on various graphic devices in standard and user systems of conventional symbols. The main functions can be executed in multithreaded mode. It supports automatic optimization of used memory for processing large amounts of data (tens of gigabytes) on limited resources (hundreds of megabytes).

The toolkit is adapted for work on a wide range of operating systems (Astra Linux SE, ALT Linux, Elbrus, Ubuntu, CentOS, QNX) and architectures (Intel, Elbrus, PowerPC, SPARC, ARM). The toolkit includes components of visual designing the GIS applications and library of a multiplatform multithreaded GIS core. GIS Constructor provides a cross-platform MAPAPI interface that allows a programmer to implement development in an operating system convenient for it. The developer can release GIS applications for a set of operating systems by simple assembly with minimal changes to the program source code.
