Features in version 0.5.1
Document Actions
- Geo-aware proxy objects for spatially enabling any ArcheTypes based content object, that allows them to be used as data for the map without need for modify the original objects.
- IGeoAware interface for making custom objects work as spatial
data for PrimaGIS maps.
- AJAX
style background communication for efficient map rendering. All AJAX
(and DOM) operations are done using the excellent MochiKit library.
- Info-on-map using JavaScript popups with the overlib-library. Moving on location on the map will popup a small window showing information for the referred object(s).
- Extension classes for ArcheTypes developers for creating natively
geo-aware objects usable as-is with PrimaGIS. See the Making existing AT objects
IGeoAWare article for a simple example or take a look at the GeoAwareObjects
product.
- Zooming, drag panning, previous view, session-based default view.
- Named views for creating easy access to points of interest on the maps.
The views (PrimaGISView objects) also implement the IGeoAware interface, so
you can just put them in a PrimaGISDataLayer to visualize them on the map in
addition to using them for navigation. This is demonstrated in the demo
map's "Areas of interest" layer.
- Export of PrimaGISDataLayers to Geography Markup Language (GML). See http://www.primagis.fi/demo/index_html/capitals/data.gml for a GML dump of the "European capitals" layer for an example. Using a tool, such as ogr2ogr, you can easily convert the GML file to other vector formats, e.g. shapefile.
- Export of PrimaGISDataLayers to Keyhole Markup Language (KML) for use with Google Earth. You can try out the feature by adding a new Network Link to your Google Earth client using http://www.primagis.fi/demo/index_html/capitals/data.kml as the URL.
- Works with both Plone 2.0 and 2.1 series and Zope 2.7 and 2.8 series.
Tested with Zope 2.7.8/Plone 2.0.5 and Zope 2.8.4/Plone 2.1.1.
