This desktop GIS Editor supports all of the features of the free TatukGIS Viewer, plus a comprehensive set of features to create, edit, and analyze GIS map files or projects. The Editor opens most GIS/CAD and raster image file types and most ArcView®, ArcExplorer®, and MapInfo Professional® projects and can convert and save data to a choice of common file types. Because all file formats are supported “natively”, with no need to convert to/from any internal format, the TatukGIS Editor is compatible with other GIS software products which an organization may already use.
Editing Features:
- Edit already existing vector file geometry and save to the SHP, MID/MIF, DXF, GML, DLG, KML, and GPX formats or to three SQL geodatabase formats: i) OPENGIS® Simple Features for SQL Implementation, ii) native TatukGIS SQL binary method, and iii)Geomedia® SQL Server & Access Warehouse.
- Create/edit new shapes or map layers by mouse clicking on the map or by entering/changing x,y coordinate values
- Create new vector shapes by importing x,y coordinates from an outside source
- Snap to the locations of already existing vertices
- Create and edit shapefile attribute information via the data panel
- Export/import vector map attribute data to/from a spreadsheet or database
- Create/edit new shapes by entering distance/bearing measurements, as used with RE parcel records in North America
- Special drawing tools: rectangle, rotated rectangle, quadrilateral, circle, right angle, freehand drawing
- Line smoothing mode using B-Splines
- Special clipboard layer (copy, paste, save, unions, subtractions, etc.)
- Unions and splitting of vector shapes
- Merger of shapefile layers (files)
- Create buffers and convex hulls and use to perform spatial selections
- Export shapefile data to supported vector map formats; Refine the export operation using spatial extent, spatial selection, and/or SQL attribute query
- Vector clipping based on the view extent
- Import/export data between a map layer and GPS devices in the GPX format
- Concurrent multi-user editing of the same file using SQL server based formats
- Build polygon and polyline topology layers and use to systematically identify and correct geometrical errors in vector map data
- Program user interface can be localized to the following languages: English, German, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, Greek, Swedish, Polish, Czech, Hungarian, Russian, Ukrainian, Thai, and Japanese.
Viewing Features:
- Open/read most vector, image, and SQL geodatabase data formats; support is native, with no need to import data into any internal format
- Open the attribute information of any vector map layer as a table in the data panel; perform advanced queries and filters against attribute values
- Open WMS map layers from a remote server.
- Use map layers containing multiple file types in the same project
- Open most ESRI ArcView®, ArcExplorer®, and MapInfo Professional® projects as well as TatukGIS project files
- Create or edit TatukGIS project files
- Zoom in/out, pan
- Scale bar and user defined scale for viewing/printing
- Add, remove, and reorder layers in a project; unlimited number of layers
- Alter the appearance (colors, styles, fills, outlines, symbols, transparency, etc.) of vector layers with the use of "style sheets"
- Manipulate pixel layers (brightness, transparency, histograms, etc.)
- Custom render thematic maps based on vector attribute fields, including colored-gradient value themes
- Color render Digital Terrain Model (DTM) data with directional light and shadowing
- Custom label fonts, sizes, colors, positions, etc.
- Custom render map geometry, labels, charts, etc. based on zoom (scale) level
- Use CGM and TrueType symbols for points and lines; CGM, TrueType, and WMF symbols for fills
- URL Hotlink for automatic linking objects to any document referenced with a valid URL (web page, file, even mailto)
- Present data as bar and pie charts
- Spatial querying (by point, line, circle, rectangle, polygon, and custom clipboard layer)
- Advanced attribute data presentation, querying, and selection with the data panel; SQL query builder
- Measurement tools for distance, area, and perimeter
- Print and print preview, print to PDF file
- Copy visible extent of all layers to Windows clipboard using the EMF meta format
- Export to image files: TIFF/GeoTIFF/LZW, JPEG, PNG, BMP, PixelStore, PDF
- "Internet Server Wizard" to easily set up a simple ASP.NET project for web publishing with the TatukGIS Internet Server. This provides an easy and affordable path to web publish any GIS mapping project.Click here to see a sample that was prepared with the free Viewer and web published with the TatukGIS Internet Server LITE edition.
