Specialists from KB "Panorama" have prepared and placed a map of the Republic of Adygea on the "Spatial Data Bank" geoportal. To work with the map, you can use the GIS Panorama Mini program or other software products from KB "Panorama".

The map has been converted to the modernized classifier for large-scale plans at a scale of 1:5,000 (map5000m) and saved as a packed project (MPTZ). The MPTZ format project includes a digital map of the region (country, federal subject, administrative district), a map of the region's administrative-territorial division, and a digital classifier. The placement of updates in the spatial data bank was carried out using the Digital Maps and Remote Sensing Data Bank program. The publication of the spatial data bank's content on the geoportal and access to data for download are implemented using GIS WebServer SE.

Free maps based on OpenStreetMap data are available for download on the "Digital Maps" page.

Specialists from KB "Panorama," together with students from MIIGAiK, have prepared a video tutorial on working with the "Change visibility limits of selected objects" mode in the toolbar of the "Map Editor" task. The reviewed 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 using the built-in tool to manage the scale range in which selected objects are displayed. This capability is key for automatic cartographic generalization and reducing visual load during zooming. Special attention is paid to the flexible configuration of displaying objects of different priority within the same type. The mode helps avoid map clutter with objects at small scales while preserving the necessary detail at large scales. It can be applied in situations where objects of the same type have different semantic priority and should be displayed in different scale ranges.

This video material will be useful for specialists involved in preparing cartographic data for territorial planning, urban planning activities, creating thematic atlases, and solving other tasks. The training materials can be found in the "Video Tutorials" section.

KB "Panorama" has developed GIS WebService SE version 15.14.7. The new version adds support for the domestic certified operating system Alt 8 SP for servers and workstations. This OS is used for creating, managing, and protecting corporate infrastructure and holds certifications from the Russian Ministry of Defense, FSB, and FSTEC of Russia. GIS WebService SE is fully adapted to work in Alt 8 SP and is included in the Unified Register of Russian Software of the Russian Ministry of Digital Development.

GIS WebService SE supports all international standards (OGC WFS, WFS-T, WMS, WMTS, WCS, WPS) used for transmitting and displaying spatial data. The program implements the capability to serve tiles in any user-defined or local coordinate system. The application is developed for the Astra Linux, Ubuntu, RED OS, Alt 8 SP, and MS Windows platforms and is compatible with Apache, IIS, and nginx web servers.

The new version of the program and its documentation are available on the website in the Download section.

In KB "Panorama", version 15.5.2 of the Complex of Geodetic Calculations for GIS "Panorama" has been developed. The new version enhances tools for constructing profiles of extended linear structures. The previously existing mode "Construction of a linear structure profile" has been merged with the "Construction of a route profile" mode.

The updated mode allows for the construction of profiles for roads, railways, power lines, main pipelines, and utility networks. For a linear object selected on the map, a longitudinal profile is constructed. This profile contains the route line, surface line, groundwater level line, length and height scales, elevation marks (difference between the surface height and points of the route profile line), as well as the depiction of route objects highlighted on the map.

Depending on the type of linear structure, a corresponding set of tables and graphs is generated, such as: "Route Plan", "Axis Elevations", "Slopes and Lengths", "Relief Elevations", "Distances", "Stations (Pickets)", "Angles and Straights", "Plan of Straights and Curves", and "Kilometers". When generating the diagram, data on groundwater location in the form of quality matrices and descriptions of curved route sections in CSV tables are used.

If a coordinate "M" (Measure) is present at the nodal points of the route line, it can be used in profile construction as a height difference value (height above surface or burial depth). The profile line can be constructed using existing nodal points of the selected map object or interpolated along the relief surface line with the possibility of filtering straight sections.

The constructed image can be conditionally divided into printed pages of a specified format, with a frame, page number, and headers/footers applied to each page. Header/footer layouts can include approval signature layouts or standard document title blocks (stamps). Header/footer layouts are stored in LBL format files. For each specified header/footer, one of several application methods to pages can be set: only on the first page, only on the last page, on all pages, on all except the first, on all except the last, on all except the first and last. Standard header/footer layouts included in the standard package are located in the folder \Geodesy.dot\bti\.

The mode was created considering the requirements of regulatory documents for profiles of various types of linear structures, including:

GOST R 21.1701-97. "System of project documentation for construction. Rules for execution of working documentation of roads"; GOST R 21.1702-96 "System of project documentation for construction. Rules for execution of working documentation of railway tracks". "Guide for Engineering Surveys of Routes for Overhead Power Lines 35-1150 kV". "OR-75.180.00-KNT-0339-21. Requirements for technological schemes of the linear part of main pipelines". "Requirements for the preparation of longitudinal profiles of utility networks".

The new version of the program has added templates: Signature.lbl (an approval signature template), as well as title block templates in accordance with GOST R 2.104-2023 (Appendix B.1) - p_2_104_2023_b1_titul.lbl (for the title page) and p_2_104_2023_b3_other.lbl (for subsequent sheets). The generated diagram can be saved in SITX format for subsequent refinement (if necessary) using the "Map Editor" tools, imported into graphic images, or output to printing devices using the "Print" mode.

The Complex of Geodetic Calculations is designed for processing results of field geodetic measurements, applying calculation results to a digital map, and generating reporting land management and cadastral documents. The software tools included in the complex allow solving most tasks faced by organizations performing field geodetic, cadastral, and land management work, office processing of measurement results, compilation of large-scale plans, land surveying, and other tasks.

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

KB "Panorama" has developed GIS "Operator" version 15.4.0 for the "Astra Linux Special Edition" OS. The new version implements tools for export to AIXM 5.1 (XML), export/import of CSV, updating semantics from XLS/XLSX, and export to KML/KMLZ. New map editor modes have been added, and tools for building object lists and performing various operations on them have been improved. For working with special charts (aeronautical and marine navigation), a category of objects called "Metaobjects" has been introduced. This allows creating references for extended description of base objects and provides convenient navigation and editing through selection dialogs. The digital classifier for aeronautical charts has been updated in accordance with ICAO requirements, with new objects added and route attributes expanded.

Export of aeronautical charts to the AIXM (Aeronautical Information Exchange Model) format has been added — a standard for exchanging aeronautical information. Export is performed to XML files according to the AIXM 5.1 specification. In the dialog, you can select the source map or export several at once, configure file generation parameters, and monitor processing progress and possible errors. The final completeness of the data depends on how correctly and fully the object attributes on the map are filled — elements without the necessary aeronautical information are automatically skipped.

The task of exporting data to the CSV exchange format has been implemented. This task allows exporting vector data to CSV text files with a customizable structure: it supports the inclusion of object semantic characteristics, adding reference fields (object name, layer, localization type, perimeter and area in various units of measurement, etc.), saving object geometry in various formats (rectangular and geodetic coordinates of all object points or only the center, point heights and measurement characteristics with adjustable precision), and various column separators. The user can flexibly configure the composition of exported data: use one map, several open maps, or pre-select a set of objects for saving. Saving each object to its own CSV file with a configurable output file name (with a postfix based on object number or a specific semantic) is supported. The resulting CSV files are convenient for subsequent integration with other applications, such as importing into spreadsheet editors or databases.

In the CSV format import dialog, the ability to create two separate combined point labels near placed points has been added. Each point label can contain up to four field values selected by the user in several lines. For example, the point height in the first line and the name, point number, or another field in the second. In the dialog, you can specify the columns of the source file whose values will be used for labeling points. Each label has its own parameters for vertical and horizontal offset, allowing them to be placed anywhere relative to the main object. The ability to update semantics of existing objects has been added. The update is performed when assigning semantics for linking with objects (in the Additional Parameters tab).

The task of updating semantics from XLS/XLSX tabular data formats has been implemented. This task allows for bulk addition of new semantic characteristics for map objects and changing values of existing ones based on data from a table. Two options for linking table rows to map objects are supported: by semantics (via unique values of a key column that match object semantic values at the time of linking) or by object number (via a specified column with the object number). The user can flexibly configure the list of semantics to be updated: manually or automatically by the semantic key string (keys in the file must match the keys of the map classifier). A number of additional settings are supported for the convenience of performing the update: setting the data row range, updating only selected objects, selecting modes for adding or updating values, saving/restoring settings. To control the results, a report with a description of the performed update can be generated. The new task allows for preliminary data preparation in a spreadsheet editor for subsequent loading into the map.

The task of exporting to the KML exchange format has been added. This task allows saving selected vector data into a format compatible with Google Earth, with automatic transfer of object styling. Line styles, polygon styles, and icon types are inherited from the conditional sign settings of the vector map classifier; for point objects, icons in PNG format are generated in a separate directory. Export to the packed KMLZ format is supported for convenient data transfer to another computer. The user can flexibly configure the set of displayed semantic characteristics of map objects.

In the "Search and Selection" and "Map Composition" dialogs, on the "Objects" tab, the property "Show only selected objects" has been added. When enabled, only selected rows will be displayed in the object list. This speeds up making minor changes without scrolling through a large list. On the "Semantics" tab, multiple selection of semantic characteristics has been added. On the "Models" tab, the ability to save current selection conditions to a selected model has been added.

In the "Object Lists" task, the ability to group object lists has been added. For a group of object lists, you can assign visibility and color of thematic layers. Dragging one or several object lists into groups is supported. Tools for performing overlay operations on object lists have been improved. In the dialogs for cutting and splitting objects by lists, the ability to save cut objects to a new map has been added. This new processing method allows preserving the original map, while writing the result to a new map for further analysis. During the cutting process, the new map is added to the document. For it, a list of processed objects with the name " - " is generated, where List2 is the editable (split) objects and List1 is the reference objects (templates) used for cutting objects. For example, when cutting pipelines by zones, the name "Pipelines - Zones" is formed. After performing the specified operations, the object list can be added from the new map to the general document lists in the "Object Lists" dialog — Import lists from incoming maps.

In the "Map Editor" task, for the "Create Embankment" mode, the ability to number elongated strokes has been added. On the "Process Selected Objects" panel, the "Build Convex Polygon" mode has been added. This mode builds a polygon of the smallest area covering all points of the selected objects. The mode is used for quickly constructing areas based on point measurements, buildings, territories, and other objects.

The new "Metaobjects" category can contain sets of attributes that supplement the description of base objects on a special chart. Base objects can contain references to metaobjects (object UID), through which additional information about the object can be displayed. For example, on an aeronautical chart, flight route segments (RouteSegment) can reference available radionavigation services (Navaid), which can in turn reference radionavigation equipment (NavaidEquipment), and so on. A metaobject like radionavigation equipment (NavaidEquipment) may not have coordinates, as it supplements the attributes of the radionavigation service object (Navaid).

When viewing attributes in the "Select Objects" dialog, on the "Semantics" and "Metaobjects" tabs, a list of references to objects and metaobjects will be displayed. Double-clicking on a reference will open another "Select Object" dialog with a full description of the referenced object or metaobject. From there, you can open the next object or metaobject. In the dialog, you can change the description of attributes or coordinates, change references or other object properties. Setting the "Metaobject" or "Metaobject without geometry" property for an object, and specifying a list of allowed references, can be done in the "Classifier Editor" task. By default, metaobjects are not displayed and do not participate in searches. To enable display and search in the "Display Composition" or "Search Objects" dialogs, instead of the property "Do not select metaobjects," you need to select "Select all objects" or "Select metaobjects."

Company specialists have updated the digital classifier for creating aeronautical charts, dfc.rscz. In the new edition, significant changes have been made to improve the detail and accuracy of aeronautical data. Steps have been taken to update the airspace structure, including air traffic services, airspace restrictions, ATS routes, waypoints, and radionavigation aids. The conditional signs of the "Obstacles" layer have been brought into compliance with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) requirements, new objects have been added to the "Aerodrome Network" and "Waypoints and Navaids" layers. Furthermore, attribute characteristics for objects in the "Routes" layer have been expanded. These changes ensure an up-to-date representation of airspace structure, air traffic services, aerodrome network, and obstacles. The GIS supports work with various types of digital classifiers that define the organization and presentation of spatial data. In addition to aeronautical ones, marine chart classifiers (s57navy.rscz) and other specialized sets of conditional signs are available in the application. Classifiers contain a complete description of map layers, objects, their properties, and display rules, defining the appearance of various objects on screen and when printing. Current versions of conditional sign sets are available for download in the "Classifiers" section.

The programmable sign library shape.iml64 has been improved. Signs of the "Bar Chart" type have been developed. These new types of signs complement column charts and are used to display demographic, environmental, financial, and other statistical data on thematic maps. The signs have a legend with semantic values or percentages of the total sum. Highlights and shadows have been added to column and bar charts, giving them a three-dimensional appearance. Charts with values have two implemented types: simple and multi-interval. The simple type is based on calculating the bar size relative to the Expected Average Value. When a zero average value is assigned, the chart bars contain a multi-interval scale, allowing the display of values ranging from units to billions. The displayed bars (columns) are divided into intervals: the first interval contains values less than 10, the second - less than 100, the third - less than 1000, and so on. The multi-interval chart allows displaying the population of subjects and districts of the Russian Federation. Examples of the new signs are contained in the shape.sitx map, which can be opened from the main menu: File - Sample Data - select the map in the folder: /usr/Panorama15/data/shape.
