Dear OpenJUMP Users and Developers, the OpenJUMP GIS core developer team is proud to announce the release of OpenJUMP 1.3.
This version has *better editing capabilities*, so the user is able to: * faster digitise polygons due to the new Auto-complete Polygon tool, * mark points of interest with the new Note Tool, * simplify polygon coverages without creating slivers between adjacent polygons, * compare different editing versions with the new Synchronize function that allows synchronized panning and zooming between two map windows that show different data, * set attributes of a layer in a batch style using the improved Auto-Assign Attributes function, * connect or extend existing line geometries when editing with the line tool. OpenJUMP 1.3 has also *new analysis functions* that allows to: * retrieve attribute statistics (min, max, mean, etc.) for the attributes of a layer, * display maps using different data classification/colour theming methods (e.g. Jenks-breaks method or maximal-breaks method), * more easily find certain values with the "Search All Attributes" function, * perform raster image analysis with Sextante directly. I.e. raster layers can be loaded in OpenJUMP and analysed with Sextante. * create multi-buffers with the Multi-Ring-Buffer function. Two more additions are of interest for our advanced users that like to customize OpenJUMP for their purposes. First, OpenJUMP 1.3 supports Python, i.e. Jython. This will be the third option to develop and add own functionality (besides BeanShell scripts and Java PlugIns). Several Python script examples are delivered with OpenJUMP 1.3 The second improvement has been the introduction of default-plugins.xml file. This files allows to define which functions (especially from the Tools menu) should be available when OpenJUMP is started. to *download* visit: www.openjump.org - or: http://sourceforge.net/projects/jump-pilot/ in the release notes you may find some more (important) infos: http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?group_id=118054&release_id=675191 best regards, the core team :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stay on top of everything new and different, both inside and around Java (TM) technology - register by April 22, and save $200 on the JavaOne (SM) conference, June 2-5, 2009, San Francisco. 300 plus technical and hands-on sessions.
