From an informal perusal of GISDK, Avenue,
MapBasic, and a variety of possibilities in ArcGIS, and
Manifold, GISDK offers a richer function capability. But there is no user
manual. There once was, but it has disappeared. I find it difficult to learn
GISDK from the HELP in Maptitude.
I think that an organized attempt to point
users to a “really, you can do this too” GISDK programming website
and printable manual would be really helpful.
GISDK could become a major item to market.
But that will not happen without a manual and on-line content.

I'm getting the impression that a lot of list members are good at
Maptitude
but are not aware of the awesome power of the
GISDK that comes with
Maptitude (at no extra cost--unlike other GIS
products!) If you do anything
repetitively in Maptitude, it is a candidate for
automation using the DK and
for many things a small program can be written
very quickly that can save
you hours and hours of hand work in Maptitude.
In Maptitude go to Help-Contents-Help for
GISDK-Welcome to GISDK
Help!-Outline of Topics to see everything
about the DK organized by topic.
This is the best way to find specific functions
and macros. To repeat, a
small investment in a DK based addin can save you
a lot of time if you use
Maptitude a lot. Virtually anything you want
to do can be automated with a
menu, dialog or toolbox interface addin.
To add to what Chuck Hast said, Armando and I have
written hundreds of these
small programs as well as major applications for
many users since the DK
came out in 1995. I have subcontracted Dk
work and continue to subcontract
to Armando, and also worked side-by-side with him
for over a year and can
attest that he is an expert in GIS, Maptitude use
and GISDK programming. He
is fast, thorough and conscientious and I highly
recommend him for your DK
work. He is unquestionably the most capable
GISDK programmer available as a
consultant right now.

A big hand to Armando, he has been a big help to
me on several things
I have been working on.
[Big Crass commercial plug]
Armando does a lot of commercial work built around
Maptitude, he really
knows it well and can do work for you if you need
something done, and
can not get it done in house for whatever reason
or just need some work
done and do not have the time,people, >>fill
in your reason<< He offered
his services to me for some work for my company,
but our Oracle person
"decided" that she could make Oracle do
what I needed done so we did not
take up his offer, but anyone who goes that extra
step to get my attention
deserves my commercial plugs. Put him on your list
of people who can make
Maptitude dance for you.
[End]
Armando, thanks and a big hand to you from the
Maptitude user community.
