Traditionally, GIS desktop focuses on mapping. However, with the widely application of GIS technology and IT technology development, more an more users have their eyes on 3D applications and knowledge mining. What is more, there are more users begin to choose GIS desktop product for project development now.
is a cross-platform comprehensive professional GIS application. It supports 2D mapping, data processing, data analysis, extension development, data sharing, etc. is an application platform for professional to manage GIS projects, maps, 3D models, etc. From the perspective of GIS applications, users for include:
- Map Authors
Thematic mapping, layout and printing, symbol resource libraries, rich data processing functions are provided to allow map authors to make delicate maps.
- Geographic Data Managers
Import of data of different types, dataset creation, data editing, projection setting, data registration, raster data processing, etc. are supported. Geographic data managers can create new geographic data, or process and edit existing data for data management.
- Spatial Data Analyzers
Rich spatial analysis functions such as buffer analysis, overlay analysis, surface analysis, interpolation analysis, raster statistics, distance raster, dynamic segmentation, hydrology analysis, etc. are provided for users to extract and mine geographic information of data based on geographic position and patterns of spatial data.
- 3D Application Users
3D data creation, display and browsing, 3D flying, data modeling, 3D spatial analysis, etc. are provided for 3D data to offer strong support for 3D application. Meanwhile, provides multiple types of special effects, including flame, explosion, fountain, smoke and fog, water flow, fireworks, falling leaves, etc. to enhance sense of reality.
- GIS Scientific Researchers
have been applied in fields such as land industry, military, digital city, city planning, water conservancy, public facilities, etc. The product is primarily used for data processing and data analysis for research results in those fields.
- Extension Developers
Except for traditions industries need GIS, more and more new industries is exploring the value of GIS technology. Those industries include insurance, finance, logistics, tobacco, etc. Users can develop new functions through extension develop to assist research and application.
