Jody, Frankly with out Martin being stubborn and the hard math we would not have an open source spatial industry. That is worth emphasizing ! Peter From: discuss-boun...@lists.osgeo.org [mailto:discuss-boun...@lists.osgeo.org] On Behalf Of Jody Garnett

The GeoFunctions (http://geofunctions.org) xslt library has a shapefile 'parser' which present the result as a virtual GML FeatureCollection to the stylesheet. Your stylesheet could then transform to SVG as required. Cheers, Peter -Original Message- From:

[OSGeo-Discuss] multipatch shapefile FIRST_RING structure

2009-01-26 Thread Rushforth, Peter
Hi, I posted the following question here: http://forums.esri.com/Thread.asp?c=132f=1340t=272776mc=0 but got no response. Maybe the community will come to the rescue. The shapefile spec for multipatch shapefiles says this: When the individual types of rings in a collection of rings

2009-01-26 Thread Rushforth, Peter
Hi Frank, Thanks for your response. An application that wants to process multi-patch shapefiles, including those using the FirstRing/Ring part types and that cares about nesting of rings must be prepared to do a geometric analysis to determine which are inner and outer. This is in 3d

RE: [OSGeo-Discuss] multipatch shapefile FIRST_RING structure

2009-01-26 Thread Rushforth, Peter
Frank, I would not expect to do the analysis in 3D as for my purposes I am only interested in 2.5D geometry sets. I believe multipatch files are normally used to represent TINs which can be safely analysed in 2D, and the Z values just carried along. I guess I'm getting worked up over

[OSGeo-Discuss] georss reader

Hi, Does anybody have an idea if such a thing exists? I know I can view georss in google maps, and from there via the maps api, as a network link in google earth. But I haven't found reference to a feed reader that supports georss. I'm thinking about filtering feeds based on categories and

RE: [OSGeo-Discuss] Proposal: OSGeo Cartographic Library

Hi, This is an interesting discussion! In the XML world, the answer to graphics rendering is SVG + XSL-FO, generated by XSLT scripts according to styling rules. XSL-FO is then rendered via a formatting objects processor, like Apache FOP. I'm of the opinion that a pipeline like: GML +/- (any

Hi Paul, Good discussion. Returning to my original point, then, should OSGeo provide support for getting new projects off the ground? I think it entirely fair that a project gather a little momentum and prove itself a good idea based on a number of people voting with their feet, so to

Hi all, I have created a Birds of a feather session for GeoFunctions. GeoFunctions is currently a (small) library of XSLT 2 functions for GEO processing of GML,KML,GeoRSS etc data. It includes functions to calculate area, segment length, perimeter, polygon centroids, plus a few others. I

RE: [OSGeo-Discuss] GML CASE Tool

2007-06-21 Thread Rushforth, Peter
Raphael, Does anybody know a GML CASE tool besides ARGOGEO and CASEGEO (Visio extension)? The only one I know of (besides XML Spy, Stylus Studio and other XML IDEs) is the one from Interactive Instruments, called ShapeChange, which will convert XMI to a GML application schema. Of course, you
