Hi all. I attended the "gvSIG day", embedded in http://www.opensourcegis.org.uk/ to compare their results with ours. Overall, I'm quite happy with the results of the comparison, and I still prefer QGIS after that ;) . They have done a few interesting things: - WCS support (we need this one, should be very easy using GDAL) - SOS support (sensors) - gazetteer support - they can export the data of the raster histogram (should be very easy) - they have built in color tables for rasters, and can import/export GIMP color tables - raster filters can be applied OTF, or saved to a new raster - they use potrace for raster to vect operations (it could be an interesting option to explore) - I found their 3D part rather confusing, but it has some interesting features, including animation. I didn't like their development model: AFAICT, there is a commercial association of all gvsig devs; this has a strong potential for a monopoly. I could not see anywhere, in OSGeo material, a difference between graduated projects (like us) and incubating ones (like gvsig). I was not happy with that - there is a difference after all. All the best. -- Paolo Cavallini: http://www.faunalia.it/pc
