Version 3 of The tcl-map GSoC2009 project

Updated 2009-05-06 20:57:43 by RLH

The goal of this project is to produce the necessary language extensions to facilitate programming of GIS systems in Tcl. In particular:

  • Reading of files in popular GIS formats
  • Presenting GIS data visually
  • Helper procedures to zoom in/out, etc.

This project introduces two new Tcl extensions, one for reading and one for displaying raster and vector geospatial data formats. Underneath, it relies on the GDAL/OGR libraries. The exact supported formats can be found at: http://www.gdal.org/formats_list.html and http://www.gdal.org/ogr/ogr_formats.html

The maps are rendered in a Tk canvas widget that can be further manipulated on an application basis.
