From bogus@does.not.exist.com Thu Jun 7 16:10:42 2018 From: bogus@does.not.exist.com () Date: Thu, 07 Jun 2018 14:10:42 -0000 Subject: No subject Message-ID: Vis5D is a system for interactive visualization of large 5-D gridded data sets such as those produced by numerical weather models. One can make isosurfaces, contour line slices, colored slices, volume renderings, etc of data in a 3-D grid, then rotate and animate the images in real time. There's also a feature for wind trajectory tracing, a way to make text anotations for publications, support for interactive data analysis, etc. It is not a GIS, but GIS-related software. GRASS offers an import/export interface to its new 3D-raster features. You can do for example soil modelling in GRASS and visualize the results with VIS5D. Example: http://www.geog.uni-hannover.de/grass/grid3d/index.html (see bottom of page) I think it is GPL'ed software. Cheers Markus -- Dipl.-Geogr.

From what I've heard I don't think this is likely. a) We have enough developers to write our own DWG code. This isn't likely either. b) The project has enough different uses to be able to run usefully without the DWG code. (maybe possible but not ideal) c) We ditch the DWG code altogether and use the DXF code from another GPL program. In which case the program is now a dxf viewer than can save to png or bmp. (not very useful) d) like you said, we club together with some other projects and write the dwg code. I can think of much larger projects such as qcad which don't have DWG support, but they don't have it listed on their "wish list" either. This will take a mountain of work and a long time. Best idea is maybe a mix of c) and d)? In the short term replace the OpenDWG dxf code with GPL dxf code while talking with other projects and then working on a seperate project that creates free DWG libraries. This will take a long time and a number of developers. phew, I thought it was just going to be a simple software version announcement too.... :-) Guy From bogus@does.not.exist.com Thu Jun 7 16:10:42 2018 From: bogus@does.not.exist.com () Date: Thu, 07 Jun 2018 14:10:42 -0000 Subject: No subject Message-ID: Commands like: ogr2ogr watrcrsl.shp \ gltp:/vrf/levi0/ssi/BIO/vectordata/vmap0_europe/v0eur/vmaplv0/eurnasia \ 'watrcrsl at hydro(*)_line' produced feature-empty, but correct SHAPE files (as no features found).

I note that proprietary GIS software is incresaingly adopting greater interoperability, so I'm not sure how long FOSS will continue to have any advantage or leadership in this arena. So I'm not commenting on the technical merits of WMS, but on the fact that it works & is now widely used, & makes my life much easier. I suggest that like DXF (that I don't use), & PDF & shp, developers & industry have adopted standards that do work, & serve a useful purpose. The OGC standards have achieved their wide implementation base because of this. As such, they do exactly what they were designed to do. I think we'd be much worse off without them (or an equivalent). The SQL/MM standard was initially implemented in 1993. A potentially useful ISO standard that no-one really uses (yet). OGC came up with SFS much later & the developer communities jumped on board.... So the developer & user communities determine which standards actually get implemented widely enough to become standards in fact as well as design. I'm not aware of what the technical deficiencies are in the OGC standards (this seems to be something carefully not expressed in your statement), but they have been found good enough for the vast majority of developers in FOSS & commercial projects to run with them. So the reason they have become industry standrds as well as as set of specs, is because they work, widely & effectively (is it not?) I'm curious as to why you find theses standards so restrictive? Also why you don't suggest an alternative which helps address your concerns. I'm not even sure what your problem is. If you want to build something that doen't conform to an existing standard, you are free to do so. The fact that others don't choose this path is not necessarily bad, just because you have a different opinion. You may well come up with something they all agree to adopt. I agree that the OGC standards have been designed by a semi-closed shop, but have been adopted & ratified by a very open one. Perhaps OSGEO as a FOSS representative group could become an OGC member, with an interest in the standards arena?

It provides *more than 100 stability fixes and improvements* compared to the previous stable version 7.4.1. An *overview* of the *new features* in the 7.4 release series is available at New Features in GRASS GIS 7.4 . Efforts have concentrated on making the user experience even better, providing many small, but useful additional functionalities to modules and further improving the graphical user interface. Users can now directly download pre-packaged demo data locations in the GUI startup window. Several modules were migrated from addons to the core GRASS GIS package and the suite of tools for ortho-rectification was re-implemented in the new GRASS 7 GUI style. In order to support the treatment of massive datasets, new compression algorithms were introduced and NULL (no-data) raster files are now also compressed by default. For a detailed overview, see the list of new features . As a stable release series, 7.4.x enjoys long-term support. *Binaries/Installer download:* - winGRASS 7.4.1: 32bit standalone installer | 64bit standalone installer - winGRASS 7.4.1 OSGeo4W: 32bit OSGeo4W installer | 64bit OSGeo4W installer - Debian - EPEL6 (CentOS6, RHEL6, ...) - Fedora and EPEL7 (CentOS7, RHEL7, ...) - ubuntugis-unstable (Ubuntu LTS) - grass-stable (Ubuntu non-LTS) - Mac OSX - *... for further binary packages please check at software downloads . * *Source code download:* - https://grass.osgeo.org/grass74/source/ - https://grass.osgeo.org/grass74/source/grass-7.4.1.tar.gz - To get the GRASS GIS 7.4.1 source code directly from SVN, see here . *More details:* See also our detailed announcement: https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/Release/7.4.1-News https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/Grass7/NewFeatures74 (overview of new 7.4 stable release series) https://grass.osgeo.org/grass7/manuals/addons/ (list of available addons) First time users may explore the first steps tutorial after installation. *About GRASS GIS* The Geographic Resources Analysis Support System (https://grass.osgeo.org/), commonly referred to as GRASS GIS, is an Open Source Geographic Information System providing powerful raster, vector and geospatial processing capabilities in a single integrated software suite. GRASS GIS includes tools for spatial modeling, visualization of raster and vector data, management and analysis of geospatial data, and the processing of satellite and aerial imagery. It also provides the capability to produce sophisticated presentation graphics and hardcopy maps. GRASS GIS has been translated into about twenty languages and supports a huge array of data formats. It can be used either as a stand-alone application or as backend for other software packages such as QGIS and R geostatistics.
