[Freegis-list] Announcement: TerraLib 3.0 and TerraView 3.0

[Gilberto Camara]

Dear FreeGISers:

The GIS team at INPE would like to announce
the release of version 3.0 of the TerraLib
GIS library and version 3.0 of the TerraView GIS.

TerraLib is a C++ library for GIS application
development, where all data (raster + vector) is
stored in an object-relational DBMS.
The functions available in TerraLib 3.0 include:

(a) Interfaces to mySQL, PostgreSQL and PostGIS
     DBMS for data storage and retrival
(b) Egenhofer operators on vector geometries
(c) Address geocoding
(d) Polygon overlay operations and buffer calculation
(e) Display and enhancement of remote sensing images
(f) Import of SHP, MIF, ASCII and SPR vector files
(g) Import of TIFF, GeoTIFF, JPG, RAW image files
(h) Support for visualisation with Themes and Views
     made persistent on the DBMS, and algorithms for
     building thematic maps from vectors and rasters
(i) Dynamical modelling with cell spaces,
     including support for conversion of vectors to cells
(j) Support for spatio-temporal data (events, moving points)
(k) Spatial statistics (Moran autocorrelation indexes,
     kernel estimations, variogram calculation)
(m) Interface with the R statistical library
(h) Support for 12 cartographical projections, and extensibility
     to include new projections, datum, and ellipsoids.

TerraLib 3.0 is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public
License, and its webpage is http://www.terralib.org.

TerraView 3.0 is GIS that uses TerraLib and the QT toolkit,
and includes a GUI that allows access to the TerraLib
functions described above, and includes additionally:

(a) Interfaces for creation of spatial databases and
     data conversion.
(b) Canvas for visualization of vector+raster data.
(c) Brushing facilities between table, graphics and maps.
(d) Creation and persistence of Themes and Views.

TerraView 3.0 is licensed under the GNU Public License
and is also available at http://www.terralib.org.

TerraLib's development has benefited from other
free GIS projects, including "Shapelib" and "PostGIS".
We would like to thank their creators.

Best regards,
Gilberto Camara

functionality
