CarnacGIS.NET

Map Visualisation and Query Components

CarnacGIS.NET allows software developers to integrate interactive map views into their own applications. Written entirely in C#, CarnacGIS.NET offers a rich graphics environment for building stand-alone or web-enabled clients for spatial data analysis. CarnacGIS.NET components interface easily with existing systems to provide enhanced services while preserving investments in data and infrastructure.

A standards-based component approach enables rapid adoption of new technologies with minimal vendor dependencies and low integration cost. Emphasizing high rendering performance, fast and accurate on-the-fly coordinate system transformations, geospatial queries and project persistence, CarnacGIS.NET is an ideal choice to develop tailored solutions for scientific and business applications, monitoring, process control, and more.

CarnacGIS.NET is designed for flexibility and control, offering full control over layer stacking order, addition, deletion, and layer properties such as active layer, visibility, transparency, labeling, and presentation style. Application developers will benefit from pluggable caching strategies sensitive to the complexity of the data and dynamic rendering that is fully interruptable and restartable as data sources are consumed by the layers. Users will not wait on the system during navigation operations such as zooming, panning, and feature selection.

A powerful data source framework allows for input of geocoded data from almost any source including current GIS databases, databuses, Corba, and HTTP push or pull. Because CarnacGIS.NET remains decoupled from the specific spatial database representation of features and their relationships, application developers save time and money in the development and ongoing maintenance of N-tier solutions.

CarnacGIS.NET is built to work in conjunction with other INT component packages, such as Contour.NET for contour display of gridded data and Carnac.NET, INT's graphing toolkit for .NET. Interfaces are provided that allow developers to incorporate their own coordinate systems and projections, plus all standard graphical operations such as shape attribute and geometry editing.

CarnacGIS.NET is available on all Windows platforms that support .NET.

Key features of CarnacGIS.NET:
