RE: [OSGeo-Discuss] How to use DXF and GeoToo ls?
Hello Landon, We created a dxf datastore for geotools but didn't submitted it to the geotools project yet. Because it's not fully tested. Perhaps this is a good moment to submit it? If you ask the same question on the geotools list (bcc to me) i'll answer with a link to the source download. Perhaps it will be added to the geotools project then. Tia.

Tomas, This type of question would be better for the Geotools user or developer mailing list: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/Mailing+Lists I don’t remember Geotools having direct support for DXF. Perhaps one of the Geotools programmers can respond. Otherwise, I would ask on the Geotools mailing list. I know that OpenJUMP has a couple of DXF import plug-ins, so you could look at that source code. You might also check out the open source Java library for DXF files named Kabeja: http://kabeja.sourceforge.net/ Kabeja doesn’t directly support conversion of DXF entities to a simple feature representation, but this could be done with some work. If you decide to use Kabeja to create simple GIS features, please let me know. This is something I am interested in implementing and we might be able to work together on a simple library. If Geotools doesn’t already have something similar I would be willing to submit it for approval as a module.

Hi folks! i've been completed my subscription few minutes ago in order to ask about DXF and GeoTools. I would like to develop a GIS which gets DXF and manage this with differents objects. I would like to use GeoTools, but I don't know how to load a DXF into a Java Object. Is that possible with GeoTools? How can I do that? I'm grateful for some key or solution.

Roy, in GeoTools we have this concept of unsupported modules, they are there so that people can work on them with a public svn and get other people interested in them. Of course to make the module supported it has to be covered with unit tests, but that is not a requirement for unsupported ones. Let's discuss this on the GeoTools-dev list? :-) Cheers Andrea ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[OSGeo-Discuss] OKF / OSGeo response to the consultation on opening Ordnance Survey data
dear a...@osgeo, In sending this mail I'm following the protocol for letters of support coming from OSGeo: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Protocol_for_requesting_letter_of_support As you may have heard, there's a public consultation running in the UK on options for open licensing national mapping data maintained by Ordnance Survey. There's been some discussion on the OSGeo-UK list and the Open Knowledge Foundation discuss list about a shared response to the consultation. Here's the basically final draft - wording could change a little. http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0ATJnv_t9ROmXZGN0Yjk3ampfMjBmM2ZqZnpkMghl=en The consultation outlines 3 options: 1) is Do Nothing, 2) is Open Everything, 3) is staged release of some products including postcode geolocations (critical in the UK as a postal code is typically less than a city block in size) and adminstrative boundaries. The response sets the case for a modified Option 2, all raw vector data. Deadline for the response is March 17th, but it would be great to publish it within the next week, so it can be circulated and perhaps have a chance of influencing others' responses. This would be a shared response with the Open Knowledge Foundation. [[During a period of 3 days (72 hours) the OSGeo community will have an opportunity to respond with comments indicating why OSGeo should or should not explicitly support the project. If more information is required that should be stated during this review period.]] Still accepting edits, but don't plan to change the intent of the doc. be well all, jo -- ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[OSGeo-Discuss] Looking for free hyperspectral data - help?
The Opticks project ( http://opticks.org/ ) has just released a new LGPL extension ( http://opticks.org/confluence/x/kgI5 ) to perform Spectral processing (HSI and MSI) or image spectroscopy. However, we are in desperate need of some freely available Hyperspectral imagery and signatures for known materials. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperspectral_imaging for more details on Hyperspectral. This will make it substantially easier to develop help/tutorials for the new extension. We are going to try and release some of the currently closed Hyperspectral data we have access to, but that will probably take quite a while. I am currently aware of the following Hyperspectral imagery sources only: AVIRIS - http://aviris.jpl.nasa.gov/html/data.html Hyperion - http://eo1.usgs.gov/hyperion.php And the following known signature sources: USGS Digital Spectral Library - http://speclab.cr.usgs.gov/spectral-lib.html I have also posted this message to the geodata mailing list as well.

[OSGeo-Discuss] Google Summer of Code 2010
Hello! Yes, the summer seems so far away, especially here in Finland where we have had a record winter with tons of snow (yay!) and really nice cold weather (-20C is not strange this year), but still the summer will come and hopefully the snow will melt, and we need to be prepared!

[OSGeo-Discuss] WMS Support in C# .NET Project
Hi all, I am working to implement WMS support in the MapWindow GIS ( http://mapwindow.org) in support of the upcoming release of HydroDesktop ( http://hydrodesktop.org). HydroDesktop is a relatively new open source project in C# .NET that aims to serve the hydrologic sciences community by providing a client to download and organize hydrologic data. For its GIS-related tasks, HydroDesktop utilizes the MapWindow6 library. The project would really like to be able to display some pretty basemaps in its map interface. To accomplish this, I've been trying to figure out how to get maps through requests to WMS. I'd appreciate it if anyone could take a look at my code and let me know if I am going along the right track or not. Additionally, if any C# developers would like to contribute to the HydroDesktop or MapWindow projects we'd be much obliged!

[OSGeo-Discuss] Learn about Open Source GIS for .NET (MapWindow 2010)
Dear fellow OSGeo'ers, If you are interested in learning about open source GIS for the .NET platform, please consider coming to MapWindow 2010 in Orlando, Florida, 31 March - 2 April, 2010. (http://www.mapwindow.org/conference/2010/) This is the first official meeting of the MapWindow GIS project team since it's release as open source and will include workshops and technical presentations on building applications for Windows using our programming libraries, using our end-user desktop application, and working with a number of third party applications for environmental and water resources modeling built on the MapWindow platform. MapWindow (http://www.mapwindow.org) is an ActiveX and .NET programming library, plug-in development environment, and simple end user desktop GIS primarily for the Windows operating system written in C#, VB.NET and C++, and integrating and exposing to .NET programmers a number of low level OSGeo libraries. The main application receives approximately 6000 downloads per month from around the world and has been downloaded over 270,000 times since being released as open source in 2005. MapWindow It is translated in a dozen or so languages and has a large source code contributor team representing every continent except for Antarctica (sorry...) and there are about 9,000 people on our opt-in mailing list. Please feel free to learn more about the project here: http://www.mapwindow.org/ and also by joining us in Orlando for our 1st International Conference: http://www.mapwindow.org/conference/2010/ - Dan -- Daniel P.
