The KB "Panorama" has created a tutorial on the task "Importing Data from MIF Format". This task is available in GIS "Panorama", GIS "Operator", and other software products from KB "Panorama" for the Astra Linux Special Edition operating system.

The video tutorial demonstrates the process of uploading a set of MIF/MID files with the same classification code settings and attribute data. If it is unclear which field in the MID file corresponds to the classification code of the object from the resource classifier, or if such a field is absent in the MID file, this operation can be skipped. In this case, the program will upload information with the codes of the selected objects.

As a result of running the program, a user map is created, and there is also the possibility to import data into an existing map. To do this, you should select the "Append" radio button and specify a vector map as the output map for loading data.

If the header of the MIF file indicates that the data is stored as geographic coordinates, then the map will have its type, projection, ellipsoid, and height system set. If the coordinate system is not specified in the MIF file or rectangular coordinates are used, then the map parameters will not be set. Later, using the tools in GIS "Panorama," you can convert it to the desired map type.

You can find the training materials in the "Video Lessons" section.

Geoportal "Bank of spatial data" has been supplemented with a map of the Republic of Yemen, 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".

The KB "Panorama" has developed GIS Server version 11.2.0 for Astra Linux SE, Ubuntu 18.04, CentOS 8, CentOS 7, and MS Windows operating systems. The new version implements the storage and editing of object lists and their styling for thematic mapping and dynamic labeling of maps hosted on the server.

When creating, editing, and updating object lists by one of the users, changing the display color, graphic symbols for polygons, lines, and point symbols, as well as the numbers of labeled semantics (attributes) and font parameters, the object list file (OBX) is updated on the GIS Server for the corresponding map. The results of these changes will be visible at all workstations where this map is opened, as well as in GIS WebService for displaying thematic maps and dynamic labels on web clients. When copying a map to the GIS Server along with the "LOG" folder, the object lists will automatically be displayed in the specified style. When opening spatial databases through a connection parameter file (DBM), the object list file (OBX) is automatically placed next to the DBM file.

The GIS Server provides remote multi-user access to vector maps, remote sensing data, and spatial databases for desktop products and web services. Hosting data on the server ensures protection against unauthorized viewing, copying, modification, and printing.

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

The KB "Panorama" has developed version 15.3.2 of the GIS "Operator" for the "Astra Linux Special Edition" 1.8. The new version supports the display of the map legend. The program has implemented a mode for multiple copying in the map editor. Tools for loading data from XML files and updating classifiers on client workstations have been added.

In the GIS "Operator", the task "Map Legend" has been implemented, providing information about the composition of the document: maps, matrices, rasters, geoportals, and other elements. In this mode, visibility control of data is available with the ability to change layer order by dragging in the list. Data elements are accompanied by icons, and their names can be displayed in full or abbreviated form. To save sets of selected objects on the map, the "Object Lists" mode can be activated. These sets are formed using filters or manually and cover all maps in the document. Object lists are saved in a file with the OBX extension, named after the main document. These lists can be used for various operations with groups of objects (selection, union, intersection, search, and labeling).

Functionality for centralized updating of classifiers on client workstations when they are updated on the GIS Server has been implemented. In the "Data Placement" dialog, a field has been added to specify the host of the GIS Server version no lower than 11.0.8 with classifier standards. Classifiers from the server's common folder are automatically updated on the client. If there are classifiers in the standard with the same names but different extensions, priority is given to the RSC format. If there is a difference in extension on the client, automatic replacement of the classifier type occurs to match the type hosted on the server. To reduce network load, updates may occur with a slight delay.

The map editor has added a "Multiple Object Copying" mode. This task allows users to create copies of an object or group of objects in a specified direction, with a defined interval and quantity. Users can specify the direction of replication along coordinate axes or vectors with necessary parameters. After setting the values, outlines of all copies are displayed on the map. Replication parameters are available for modification through a context menu.

In the tasks "Map Passport," "Raster Projection Transformation", and "Raster Projection Parameters", capabilities for configuring coordinate systems and map projections have been expanded. In the "Map Passport" task, users can now save their settings in an XML format file. All three tasks have added tools for loading previously defined settings from an XML file included in the installation that contains the most frequently used configurations. Additionally, users can prepare their own XML file describing necessary projections and coordinate systems, which will be processed in future dialogs.

Support for version 1.8 of the "Astra Linux Special Edition" operating system has been added. "Astra Linux Special Edition" is a domestically developed certified operating system with built-in information protection tools (IPTs) for stable and secure operation of IT infrastructures of any scale and processing information of various confidentiality levels. The OS includes a suite of programs for solving everyday office and multimedia tasks. The Astra Linux Special Edition version 1.8 features a visual style called "Astra Proxima", support for two Linux kernels (6.1 and 6.6), simplified deployment and system update processes, and other important changes.

The GIS "Operator" SE is a versatile domestic geographic information system designed for law enforcement agencies.

The program is designed for the accumulation, storage, automated processing, and display of data, calculation results, and forecasts that have geospatial referencing. The GIS "Operator" SE includes tools for displaying and processing vector, raster, and matrix maps. The application provides users with tools for solving specialized tasks such as modeling the movement of special objects against a 3D model backdrop, forecasting the consequences of emergencies at hazardous sites, monitoring aircraft movements, conducting geodetic and topographic work, processing data from GPS/GLONASS navigation devices, printing displayed spatial data on various output devices, and many others.

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

The "Panorama" software company has developed version 15.3.3 of the "Workstation of cadastral engineer". The program has been updated with tools for creating reporting documents based on the results of comprehensive cadastral works.

The mode for "Formation of a map (plan) of the territory" has been improved, ensuring the formation of an electronic document—the land management plan—according to the XML schema MapPlanTerritory_v02.xsd. This document contains the necessary information for entry into the Unified State Register of Real Estate (EGRN) regarding land plots located within the boundaries of the area where comprehensive cadastral works are carried out, as well as information about the location of buildings, structures, and unfinished construction projects on these land plots. Information about the points of the geodetic network and the measuring instruments used has been moved from the Explanatory Note to the root node of the document. The Explanatory Note now includes information about the area where comprehensive cadastral works are carried out and details about clients who are individuals. Data about the original plot has been added to the information on land plot formation, which is preserved in its original boundaries as a result of the transformation. The processing of newly formed real estate objects has been removed from the description of the location of buildings, structures, and unfinished construction projects.

The mode for "Information from the state real estate cadastre" has been updated. A new mechanism for sending requests to the Rosreestr server has been implemented when there are two or more cadastral objects at one point on the map. When launching the dialog, the program sends a general request to obtain information about all types of cadastral objects present at that point. The received response contains information about only one cadastral object of each type. The obtained data is used for display on the tabs of the dialog. To obtain information about multiple objects of one type, it is necessary to switch to the appropriate tab and click the "Refresh" button. The program sends a specific request to obtain information about all objects of the specified type at that point. The received response contains information about all cadastral objects of that specified type. The loaded data is used for display on the current tab of the dialog.

The "Land survey plan" mode has been improved. In the dialog of this mode, on the "General Data" tab, the values of the dropdown list have been updated in accordance with the order of the Federal Service for State Registration, Cadastre, and Cartography dated December 14, 2021, No. P/0592 "On Approval of the Form and Composition of Information in the Cadastral Plan, Requirements for its Preparation". The procedure for filling out the NumGeopoint attribute of characteristic points in the XML file has been changed. Character escaping has been added when recording the cadastral engineer's conclusion that contains a reference to an internet resource. The encoding of text strings has been corrected when forming the text report sections "Information about Points of the Geodetic Network and Measuring Instruments" and "Source Data".

The "Editing attributes of a cadastral object" mode has been improved. In the "Semantic List" dialog, the ability to add a group of repeatable semantics with the copying of values from existing semantics has been implemented.

In the "Map (plan) of the object land 2024" mode, the algorithm for searching internal objects whose boundaries coincide with the boundaries of the land management object has been updated. When generating the XML document, a search for modified and newly formed plots within the contour of the land management object has been added.

The "Correction of registry errors" mode has been improved. The processing of multi-contour objects when outputting information to the text report has been added.

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