Specialists from KB "Panorama" in collaboration with students from MIIGAiK have prepared a video lesson on working with the "Group of modes Point" and "Topology subpanel" modes. The educational material showcases the capabilities of point and object editing tools, as well as moving, deleting, and aligning objects. These modes are accessed from the "Map Editor" task panel and are available to users of GIS "Panorama", "Panorama-editor", GIS Panorama Mini, and other software products.

The video tutorial demonstrates methods of changing an object by editing its points: adding or removing points on an object; capturing a node or any point on a straight object; changing the direction from the starting point of the object to the endpoint, and other actions. It also illustrates ways to create copies of object sections, create intersection points, and align multiple objects. To access the educational materials, visit the "Video lessons" section.

Geoportal "Bank of spatial data" has been supplemented with a map of the Republic of Benin, 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 at KB "Panorama" have prepared a video tutorial on working with the task "Calculation of values of semantics for incoming objects" in the GIS "Panorama". This task allows for analyzing the distribution of a group of objects within selected polygons (area objects) and filling in the semantic characteristics of the polygons based on the results of the analysis. The values of the polygon semantics are determined based on a set of corresponding values of characteristics of the analyzed objects that are either fully or partially within the polygons. This task operates in two modes: semantic calculations and copying semantics from incoming objects to selected polygons.

The video tutorial demonstrates the functional feature of the task "Calculation of values of semantics for incoming objects". Using an example of an Administrative-Territorial map, the total value of a specified object characteristic inside each polygon is calculated, taking into account the correction coefficient for the inclusion of analyzed objects in the selected polygon. The copying of semantics from incoming objects to polygon objects is performed according to established characteristic codes. In the example data, values of semantic characteristics are copied from point objects to polygon objects (area objects). The tutorial also shows how to use tools for clearing cells and deleting rows in the semantics table through a right-click context menu in the table row.

Educational materials can be found in the "Video lessons" section.

In KB "Panorama", a GIS "Panorama" version 15.2.3 has been developed. In the new version, dialogs for object search, thematic mapping, data coordinate system management have been improved, editing tools for maps and quality control have been added, and the task of exporting territorial planning schemes has been updated. In the "Select geoservice from the list" menu, geoservices from Rosreestr, the National Spatial Data Infrastructure, and the Federal Forestry Agency have been added. For Rosreestr service, layers have been added: Digital orthophoto plans of the Unified Electronic Cartographic Foundation (UECF), Digital topographic maps and plans of UECF. For the National Spatial Data Infrastructure service, layers have been added: Digital object schema - open data, UECF, UECF (orthophoto), Orthophoto plans 1:2000, Remote sensing data on the Russian Federation, Cadastre districts, Cadastre regions, Cadastre blocks, Land plots, Buildings, Structures, Unfinished construction objects, Settlement boundaries, Areas with special territory conditions, Territorial zones, Forest districts, Cultural heritage territorial objects, Specially protected natural areas, Hunting grounds, Special economic zones, Areas of advanced development, Water body boundaries, Parcels requiring surveying. For the Federal Forestry Agency service, a layer - Forest district boundaries has been added.

In the "Map Object Search" dialog under the "Semantics" tab, a validation check has been added for entered semantic values to match the pattern string specified in the classifier, defining acceptable characters such as GUID, cadastral number, and others. For numerical characteristics, a check for belonging to the range of values set in the map classifier has been implemented. In case of mismatch in the entered data, the text string is highlighted in red.

In the "Lists of Objects" dialog, a feature has been added to label objects in the list based on a selected semantic characteristic. To label the list, the "Label Objects" mode must be activated. Next to this option, the semantic code for labeling is indicated. The selection of the semantic code is done by clicking the left mouse button in that area. By default, the semantic code contains the last selected value. The labeling scale of objects is set within the visibility boundaries of the labeled objects. Objects in the list can simultaneously have thematic highlighting on the map with symbols and labeling based on semantics. Parameters of labeling can be modified using the "Assign a Custom Style" mode.

When changing labeling parameters or semantic codes, labels are updated (re-labeled) on the map. Labeling parameters and display of thematic layers are saved and restored upon application startup. Management of visibility and display order of the labeling layer is carried out in the "Map Legend" task, under the "General Data List" tab.

The task of "Exporting Territorial Planning Schemes to GML" has been enhanced. The generated GML undergoes validation against an XSD schema specified in Order No. 174 of the Ministry of Economic Development dated 26.03.2024 regarding organizing works for posting XSD schemas on the official website of the federal state information system for territorial planning on the Internet, used for creating XML documents of territorial planning in electronic form.

When setting parameters in the "Current Projection Parameters" dialog, information about the current coordinate system of the active document is displayed in the top status bar of the application. By default, the current coordinate system corresponds to the coordinate system of the main map of the document. In the top left part of the status bar, information is shown: "Map Coordinate System". The context menu of the status bar allows for adjusting any projection parameters. If the document contains data (maps, rasters, matrices, geoportals) with different coordinate systems, the menu lists the names of data with different coordinate systems (e.g., "Noginsk", "Google Map"). The new menu enables quick switching to the projection of the selected data type. When selecting an item from the menu, the projection parameters of the selected data type are applied to the document. Information about the selected projection is displayed in the status bar: "Geoportal Coordinate System" or "Raster Coordinate System". The context menu for changing the coordinate system in the document is accessed by right-clicking in the top status bar of the application. The menu also includes options for "Reset Current Projection" and "Set Projection Current".

In the Map Editor task, a feature has been added to rotate vector symbols that have a single metric point. If a symbol's localization is "Vector," a second point is added to the object. If the symbol's localization is "Point", rotation of such symbols is achieved by adding the semantics "Angle of symbol rotation, insert" (code 31017). Rotation of vector symbols is available in modes such as Move, Scale and Rotate, Rotate Object, Rotate Vector Object, and Tilt Vector Object.

The task "Creation of passages in settlement" within the automated topographic map generalization complex has been enhanced. This task is designed to create additional linear roadways (streets) on the map in urban areas. The roadways are created in gaps between adjacent blocks and street sides. The new version of the task allows for aligning the created roadways with the boundaries of urban areas. This alignment enhances the quality of subsequent block generalization during the process of trimming blocks with the created roadways. The automated topographic map generalization complex enables automated cartographic compilation of digital topographic maps ranging from 1:50,000 to 1:1,000,000 based on source maps of larger scales.

In the vector symbol editing dialog for text elements, a property to prevent label rotation has been added. When applying a vector symbol with any tilt angle containing text elements with rotation prevention to the map, the label is drawn from left to right for horizontal labels and bottom to top for vertical labels. The mechanism for selecting symbol elements in the table has been improved: multiple elements can be selected by clicking the left mouse button in the first column. Clicking in other columns selects a single element.

In the Quality Control of Vector Maps task, a check for points extending beyond the sheet boundary has been added when verifying object exits on the sheet border. Standardizing the extension of linear object contours has been unified into a single algorithm. Segments with points extending beyond the sheet boundary are trimmed. Contour points inside the sheet boundary are extended to the boundary at the nearest distance within the "Frame Exit Threshold" tolerance. Points within the "Frame Consistency Threshold" tolerance are considered extended (lying on the boundary). This unified processing method minimizes the likelihood of contour misalignment during point extension.

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