Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] New AcidMaps with Geoserver plugin
Just to make it clear, as I've just read Cameron's reply, I'm not proposing to make AcidMaps' core part of geoserver, I love it being a separate project, but just contributing the GeoServer plugin.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] New AcidMaps with Geoserver plugin
Hey Mauricio, just now had time to look deeper into the project. The GeoServer plugin looks really great. Reusing the WMS "infrastructure" in such a clever way is just neat, and being able to use any point layer as data source rocks. Question: would it work with multi-point layers too? I would like to push the plugin into GeoServer's svn as a community module, if you guys are up to it, and get you commit access on that module. We could even arrange to have the native libraries installed on the hudson server and get it into continuous integration once it upgrades to "extension" (i.e. supported and documented). We could even set up a couple integrated demos. I think there should be a lot of people interested on it and perhaps having it as an official GeoServer extension would give it a bit more of exposure to users, which could be of interest to you. I for instance already have a use case in mind which is creating heat maps out of the Suite's monitoring plugin database. Ok, too much of a rant so far. Congratulations on the project again! Chau loco, Gabriel.

Hope to see an offline implementation (i.e. not server) of AcidMaps as QGIS plugin soon. It will be useful for quick and easy data analysis using AcidMaps.

I don't think that the core of acidmaps would be moved to geoserver, because we like the idea of a shared library that can be accessed form multiple sources, JNI being one of those, some future implementations could be a MapServer plugin, a plugin for QGis, etc... We created first the geoserver plugin because that's what most of our projects are using as map server, but we want to integrate it with others systems too. > From a packaging and sales story, it will be much easier to install and > use acid maps if it comes default with GeoServer. >From the top of my head, another easier way to install it can be a self-contained jar with the plugin, and compiled native libraries embedded. Other could be changing the plugin access to the native library from JNI to JNA. It would be good to know if the GeoServer team it's interested, we can probably find a better/smarter way to integrate AcidMaps. > (I'm thinking about the best way to include acid maps in OSGeoLive > http://live.osgeo.org ) Given the live cd it's based on ubuntu, I think that the library can be installed on system path, and the geoserver plugin be already deployed in geoserver/WEB-INF/lib. -- Fabio R.

Thanks to XoomCode team! It can be very useful, and it's also a good "tutorial" for Geoserver/C++ integration ;) giovanni 2011/3/30 Mauricio Miranda > Hi there! > > We finally released the new version of AcidMaps [1] with a great change, it > works as a Geoserver plugin. > > That means you can use your own configured WMS layers to build Heatmaps, > Isolines and other interpolated maps ON THE FLY! > > The team has been working hard and we made a complete rewrite of the core, > optimizing the process to make them faster and more accurate. > > Behind that, we build the Geoserver plugin to make AcidMaps easier to use > and more "OGC like". > > Caution!

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] New AcidMaps with Geoserver plugin
Looks cool. Are there plans to move acid maps code into the geoserver code base at some point? From a packaging and sales story, it will be much easier to install and use acid maps if it comes default with GeoServer.

[OSGeo-Discuss] New AcidMaps with Geoserver plugin
Hi there! We finally released the new version of AcidMaps [1] with a great change, it works as a Geoserver plugin. That means you can use your own configured WMS layers to build Heatmaps, Isolines and other interpolated maps ON THE FLY! The team has been working hard and we made a complete rewrite of the core, optimizing the process to make them faster and more accurate. Behind that, we build the Geoserver plugin to make AcidMaps easier to use and more "OGC like". Caution! The plugin depends on Geoserver 2.1 (Beta release). The previous releases are not yet supported. For who doesn't know about AcidMaps: * AcidMaps is an open source library that generates interpolated images from a set of valued points in real time. * It's can be used to generate advanced visualizations with point datasets: (e.g.: sales, temperature, atmospheric pressure, population, etc...)
