  17. MapWindow GIS

  18. MapWindow GIS • MapWindow GIS is an open sourceGIS (mapping) application and set of programmable mapping components. Because it is distributed as an open source application under the Mozilla Public License distribution license, MapWindow GIS can be reprogrammed to perform different or more specialized tasks. There are also plug-ins available to expand compatibility and functionality. MapWindow GIS is built upon Microsoft .NET technology but is not a multi-platform application and hence does not run on non-Microsoft operating systems including Mac OS X, Linux, and UNIX. • MapWindow GIS is notable software because it has been adopted by the United States Environmental Protection Agency as the primary GIS platform for its BASINS (Better Assessment Science Integrating Point and Nonpoint Sources) watershed analysis and modeling software. BASINS is distributed from the EPA website world-wide and has been used by thousands of watershed modeling professionals at the federal, state, and local level as well as internationally. • MapWindow GIS is continually maintained by an active group of student and voluntary developers who regularly release updates and bug fixes

  20. Quantum GIS

  21. Quantum GIS (cont)

  22. Quantum GIS (Cont) • Quantum GIS (often abbreviated to QGIS) is an open sourceGIS (mapping) application which is similar to commercial mapping packages. Because it is distributed as an opensource application under the GNU distribution license, Quantum GIS can be reprogrammed to perform different or more specialized tasks. There are also plug-ins available to expand compatibility and functionality. Quantum GIS has a small file size compared to commercial GIS's and requires less RAM and processing power; hence it can be used on older hardware or running simultaneously with other applications where CPU power may be limited. • It is a multi-platform application and runs on different operating systems including Mac OS X, Linux, UNIX, and Windows XP. Performance appears to be better on non-Windows machines [citation needed]. For Mac users, the advantage of Quantum GIS over GRASS GIS is that it does not require the X11 windowing system in order to run, and all around the interface is much cleaner and faster. Quantum GIS can also be used as graphical user interface to GRASS.

  23. DIVA - GIS

  24. uDig GIS

  25. uDig GIS (cont)

  26. uDig GIS (cont) • uDig is an open source GIS software program produced by a community led by Canadian-based company Refractions Research. It is based around the Eclipse platform and features full layered Open Source GIS. It is written in Java and released under GNU Lesser General Public License. • uDig has a walkthrough in Flash and also quick start directions for those who wish to complete a full version build to write plug-ins or contribute to the main build.

  27. AccuGlobe 2007

  28. Next year’s Additions • SAGA (Germany) • gvSIG (Spain) • OSSIM • OpenJump

  31. gvSIG

  32. gvSIG is a multilingual, open sourcegeographic information system (GIS) that can handle both vector and raster data. It features basic editing tools for the creation and maintenance of vector or rasterspatial data on a variety of file formats, including remote data sources. gvSIG is being actively developed in Java by IVER Tecnologías under the GNU General Public License (GPL) [1]. Its name is a Spanish abbreviation that stands for Generalitat Valenciana. Sistema de Información Geogràfica. gvSIG

  40. Manifold (cont)

  41. Manifold (cont)

  42. Manifold (Cont) • Manifold System is a geographic information system (GIS) software package developed by manifold.net that runs on Microsoft Windows. The GIS software competes with ESRI and MapInfo GIS products. Manifold 7.00 handles both vector and raster data, includes spatial SQL, a built-in Internet Map Server (IMS), and other general GIS features. Manifold System has a vibrant user community with a mailing list and online forums. • Superb GIS and mapping using vector drawings and raster images and surfaces in perfect integration. Includes full scripting and development facilities plus the best database management and analysis capabilities of any GIS. Includes Internet Map Server for GIS enabled web sites using HTML, OGC WMS, OGC WFS-T (transaction enabled) and Manifold Image Server • No Annual Fee • No Maintenance fee

  43. Manifold (cont) • Academic Users: Manifold System is available under a very generous program of Academic License grants which donates, free of charge, Manifold System licenses to qualified academic institutions. The program is best suited for academic institutions that have acquired at least one commercial license of Manifold System. Such institutions are encouraged to apply for an Academic License that will enable use of an effectively unlimited number of Manifold installations at no charge for non-commercial education and research purposes. Academic licensees may even use Manifold to administer academic institutions facilities, fund-raising and other institutional needs • FSU has a Academic License
