KB "Panorama" has developed GIS "Panorama Mobile" version 1.14 for the domestic mobile OS Aurora. The new version adds the ability to select, group move, and delete objects, which speeds up data processing and simplifies map editing directly in field conditions. Support for various digital map formats, as well as access to popular geoportals, allows for quick updating of spatial information and supplementing maps with new objects. The mobile application provides convenient tools for working with geodata through integration with desktop GIS "Panorama" products and advanced spatial information processing functions. Users can prepare a set of cartographic data in advance in the desktop system and transfer it to the mobile GIS, where offline work is available, including displaying current location, recording tracks, and viewing current data without an Internet connection.

Object selection can be performed in several ways: by search conditions, by area, or arbitrarily. Object selection by search conditions allows visual assessment of the presence and quantity of objects meeting specified conditions. A condition can be considered as an object's belonging to a localization, layer, or object type, as well as the presence of certain semantic characteristics in the map object. Area selection enables marking objects that fall within a specified figure on the map. Arbitrary object selection allows managing the list of selected objects one by one: you can include or exclude an object from the list, analyzing search results or selecting objects on the map by touch.

KB "Panorama" has developed GIS "Operator" version 15.3.7 for "Astra Linux Special Edition" OS. The new version expands the functional capabilities of modes in map editor tasks and map calculations. Tasks for working with object lists, viewing attributes from databases, and exporting tiles have been enhanced. Support for executing scripts for different Python versions, map and matrix conversion has been implemented. Coordinate systems have been updated and additional restrictions on data handling in GIS Server have been introduced.

In the "Map Editor" task, the "Length and Distance" mode has been improved, adding display of nodal point distances from the beginning of the measured route. The ability to save measurements to the map for subsequent printing has been implemented. Changing the current map in the parameter dialog box can now be performed without interrupting the measurement process. The "Creating Circle of Arbitrary Radius" mode has been improved. Through mode selection on the auxiliary panel, pop-up menu, or hotkey, the following is supported: creating an arc (sector) by three points, creating an ellipse with specified radius lengths, and creating a circle or ellipse with center or left edge alignment. The ability to specify values in radians when creating new objects by entering geometry point coordinates from the keyboard has been added. In "Length and Distance" mode, display of distance values from the object's beginning and the ability to save measurements to the map as objects have been added.

The "Map Calculations" mode has been improved. When building zones around objects, multipolygons, multilines, and multipoint objects are automatically processed with formation of common zones around object parts. For linear objects having longitude extent of more than two zones (12 degrees), division into sections within two zones is performed. Zone construction on the ellipsoid is performed for each section with subsequent stitching into a common contour, ensuring accurate calculation of zone boundaries on the terrain. A more precise zone construction algorithm is applied if the "Refine area and length" item is enabled in the "Parameters" menu. The "Find Point on Object" mode has been improved. The ability to search for one point or a section between two points specified by distances from the object's beginning with section display parameter settings has been added.

In the "Object Lists" dialog, modes for combining and intersecting lists by selection conditions have been added. These modes allow creating a resulting list from selected lists by adding selection conditions for localizations, layers, classes, and objects. A mode for joint display of thematic layer and object list labeling has been added. This mode allows simultaneously highlighting list objects thematically and labeling them by selected semantics. "Copy Object View to Buffer" and "Paste Object View from Buffer" modes have been added. Object view copying is performed for both all localizations and for one. To do this, right-click on the object view and select the "Copy Object View to Buffer" menu item. The object's graphic description can also be copied in the "Object Selection" dialog.

The dynamic labeling mode for object lists has been improved.

Labels now automatically take into account the current visibility of objects on the map and move within the window during scrolling to remain fully visible. Label placement algorithms for linear objects have been improved, including consideration of alignment along the top, center, or bottom line as specified in the label style parameters. The ability to automatically move labels below or above the line has been added if there is no space for placement in the original position. Transfer of long labels to multiple lines without word breaking has been implemented - with the ability to set line length. The possibility to set minimum and maximum distances between repeating labels on long linear objects for more uniform placement has been added.

In the "View Attributes from Database" task, the ability to perform multiple data insertion into table cells has been added. A mode for configuring and displaying subordinate tables has been implemented (additional button on the main task panel). Configured subordination rules are treated as a data source and opened in the standard way as a tab from the corresponding dropdown list of the main task window. When selecting a row in the main table, rows in the subordinate table are automatically filtered according to specified rules. The ability to confirm/cancel changes has been added. A status bar with information about the number of rows has been added. The dataset opening dialog has been divided into "tables" and "query" tabs with support for new connections.

The "Export to mbtiles Tile Pyramid" task has been improved. The speed of tile creation has been increased through the implementation of a thread pool and optimization of data processing taking into account the number of cores and available RAM.

Support for various versions of Python interpreters for writing scripts executed from the "Run Applications" dialog in the "Scripts" tab or through assigned buttons on user panels has been added. If multiple Python versions are installed on the computer, the active version is selected through the main menu "Parameters - Data Placement" in the "Path to Python Interpreter" field. A script "Editing Coordinate List in Tabular View" has been added to the basic script set to demonstrate writing scripts that call standard GIS dialogs.

In the main menu "Tasks - Coordinate Systems", items "Standard Raster Transformation" and "Standard Matrix Transformation" have been added to the "Standard Map Transformation" item. When selecting the menu item, a dialog is called for transforming a map, image, elevation matrix, or quality matrix from the source coordinate system to the specified one. Output system parameters can be set by EPSG code, read from the coordinate systems list in XML, or from selected data files according to their format.

A "Label View" item has been added to the main "View" menu, allowing you to set one of two label display modes: "Quality" or "Simplified". When quality mode is enabled, precise calculation of label elements is performed, which allows displaying labels in accordance with font rendering requirements on topographic maps. When using quality mode, more computational resources are required to display labels on screen. If precise font compliance with topographic map symbol requirements is not necessary when displaying the map on screen, fast label output in simplified mode can be used.

The "Data List" dialog has been improved. For vector maps, context menu commands for managing editing attributes, copying, changing object composition, passport data, exporting and deleting data have been added. For rasters and matrices, context menu commands for data binding have been expanded.

The "Object Selection" dialog has been improved. On the "Metrics" tab, a context menu has been added with modes: multi-object attribute management, object closure, digitization direction change, first selected point setting, multi-scale object creation, assigning the selected contour as main, sub-object deletion (one or all), object and metrics update, object saving, coordinate saving in EPSG:3857, coordinate and metadata saving, as well as commands for working with metric points: copying, pasting and deleting the current point.

In the map object search/display dialog on the "Measurements" tab, the ability to select measurement units when specifying conditions has been added: meters, kilometers or millimeters on the map.

The parameter lists of supported coordinate systems from the EPSG database have been updated. EPSG codes for GSK 2011 coordinate systems (20901 - 20960) have been added. Support for the Kazakhstan Terrestrial Reference Frame 2023 (QazTRF-23) coordinate system and the Kazakhstan Vertical Reference Frame (QazVRF) height system has been added. QazTRF-23 system parameters can be selected when creating maps from the crslist.xml file.

The list of restrictions for users on managing data opened from GIS Server has been expanded: restrictions can be set on copying (export to other formats, transferring objects to other maps), printing, viewing coordinate system parameters, editing coordinates, storing copies of edited objects, accessing cache on the client without registration on GIS Server, editing the RSC digital classifier and others. Restrictions are set by the program administrator through the web interface and saved in GIS Server settings. The prohibition on coordinate editing allows changing only attribute data of map objects (semantics) without changing coordinates or coordinate system parameters in the map passport (metadata).

Geoportal "Bank of spatial data" has been supplemented with a map of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka, 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".

KB "Panorama" specialists have prepared a video tutorial on applying dynamic labels using the "Object Lists" task in GIS "Panorama", "Cadastral Engineer Workstation", "Agronomist Workstation" and other software products. The reviewed mode allows applying labels over the map, taking into account the current map display composition and object visibility. When scaling the map image, the label automatically shifts so that its text completely fits into the client area of the window.

The video tutorial demonstrates the process of creating object lists with subsequent formation of dynamic labels. In the "Label Parameters" window, you can configure the display of the generated object labels by height, thickness, and font style. Additionally, on the "Highlighting" tab, you can specify a background or line contour. For curvilinear labels, it is not recommended to choose a background; instead, you should select a contour around the symbols. The label is formed when the "Label objects" flag is set and a semantic characteristic is selected, which will be used to apply the label.

When creating dynamic labels for linear objects, the ability to apply "Repeating labels" has been added to display multiple labels along the length of the object. You can specify minimum and maximum intervals between the generated labels (in mm on the map). These intervals affect the distance between labels. To display dynamic labels, you need to set the "Label objects dynamically" flag.

You can familiarize yourself with the training materials in the "Video Lessons" section.
