Descartes 1.0 via Planet Geospatial by Sean Gillies on 4/27/10 Descartes is done. What's it for? Appealing precision plotting of polygons resulting from analysis of spatial data, holes and all. Examples of using it to produce figures for the Shapely manual are at http://github.com/sgillies/shapely/tree/master/docs/code/. Related: Martin, I heart JTS too.

Cool things no 1: GvSIG Mobile via Planet Geospatial by admin on 12/10/09 I’ve been looking at a couple of “cool things” recently that don’t seem to have picked up much coverage in the blogosphere, so I’m going to do a series of occasional posts on them. The first is GvSIG Mobile and the Tellus Project. GvSIG Mobile is a development from Prodevelop in Spain, to create an optimised version of GvSIG for small-screened mobile devices such as smartphones and netbooks. The Tellus project links GvSIG mobile with an...
Moving a little step closer to OSM via Planet Geospatial by moovida on 12/4/09 It is a while that I wanted to create some tools to support Openstreetmap in BeeGIS in order to be able to upload digitalized field data to OSM. Well, a little step was done now, which is a shapefile to osm exporter. As so often happens I didn't do anything great here, but I used to magnificent powers of open source and borrowed it from Ian Dees shp-to-osm project which luckily is written in java.How to use it? It is wrapped together with...
Autodesk University: Migrating CAD to Enterprise GIS via Planet OSGeo by Geoff on 12/3/09 At AU I made time to attend an excellent presentation by Lou Ball, who has been in the utility business for over 20 years, on migrating data from CAD drawing files (typically DWGs) to GIS. CAD applications, whether you're talking about AutoCAD or Microstation, are (too) flexible and the challenges are identifying where the data elements you intend to migrate are, cleaning up the data, preparing them for migration. Lou outlined...

OpenSlumMap via Planet Geospatial by SteveC on 12/2/09 Mikel parachuted in to Kibera last month – a holiday destination known as the “second largest urban slum in Africa” – to make sure it’s all mapped. The results have been impressive: It includes a website, map data of course and social media including twitter and interviews: The press release is worth a read: Kibera remains a blank spot on the Kenyan map, though it holds as many as one million inhabitants according to UN-HABITAT. Its limited health and water...

Introducing a new OSM editor… Potlatch 2 via Planet Geospatial by Richard Fairhurst on 11/30/09 OpenStreetMap users will know all about Potlatch, the online editor that appears when you click the ‘Edit’ tab on the site. Well, there’s a whole new version coming soon! Potlatch 2 is a complete rewrite still with the same principle in mind: an editor which hits the right balance between speed, ease-of-use, and flexibility. It’s under very active development at the moment and I’ll include a link at the end of this post...
