Description

The TatukGIS Editor is a professional, general-purpose desktop GIS application for geospatial data editing, creation, mapping, modeling, and analysis, providing the set of features and tools most GIS users require. A powerful built-in Python scripting IDE can be used to implement customizations and features extensions as plug-ins.

The Editor natively reads/renders 75+ geospatial industry vector, image, grid, and database layer formats and writes/exports to 35+ data formats, including advanced spatial databases such as PostGIS, Oracle Spatial, MSSQL Spatial and most others. A dedicated data panel displays layer attribute information in grid form with data editing and SQL query and spatial selection tools that work interactively with the map.

Comprehensive visual layer properties, legend, scale, north arrow and other controls, extended line style editor, sub-layers, layer grouping, etc., enable customization of every aspect of the map appearance for building sophisticated multi-layer projects. Other features include editing tools for vector geometry and attributes, vector snapping, topological error correction, 5,000+ predefined coordinate systems, on-the-fly layer reprojection and rectification, buffers, advanced filters, SVG map symbols library, color ramps, binning and dynamic shape aggregation, data classification methods, layer statistics, raster algebra engine, vector-to-grid interpolation algorithms, viewshed & above-ground-level (AGL) visibility analysis, slope analysis, point cloud-to-grid conversion, operation pipelining, GPS tracking, database joining, mini-map window, 3D visualization, printing, and much more.

The TatukGIS Editor is the same as free TatukGIS Viewer product but with important additional features relating to editing/creating data, spatial databases and DB joining, 3D visualization, scripting/customization, and layer rectification. See the Editor/Viewer feature comparison for details.
