• Create and edit point, line and area shapefile objects and their associated data attribute tables. fGIS also edits and writes MIF, DXF, DLG & GML vector layers.
• Buffer point, line or area objects at any designated radius or width.
• Generate Cruise Points. Select an area object and fill it with either a random or ordered grid.
• Design maps with pre-defined layer symbology, or use advanced layer properties to define your own.
• Copy and paste shapefile objects from one layer to another.
• Designate the direction and distance of the next leg of a line or polygon with the COGO-like Traverse Tool. Directions can be entered in decimal degrees or degrees-minutes-seconds (handy for plotting deeds or laying out a field data collection route).
• Split a polygon or line (including GPS tracks) into separate units by drawing a line with the Split Shapes Tool.
• Clip Shapefiles to the boundaries of a polygon layer.
• Merge multiple shapefiles into a new one.

GRASS, JGrass
Platform: Windows (Cygwin and native), Linux, Macintosh
Last update: 2008
GRASS sebenarnya adalah program GIS Open Source yang powerful, namun Graphic User Interface-nya tidak menarik, masih menggunakan command-line; hampir seluruh proses menggunakan data grid, walaupun juga memiliki kemampuan untuk mengolah data. JGrass sendiri adalah multi-platform Java-based version dari GRASS, saat ini hanya fokus pada penggunaan untuk analisis hidrologi dan geomorfologi.

Wizard based processing
Perform powerful processing functions at the click of a button without having to be an image processing genius! You can hit the ground running.

Mosaic your image tiles
Create city, state or country wide mosaics from your image tiles. You can view the entire area of interest in one file. Storing your image datasets will be a breeze.

Unlimited JPEG 2000 and ECW compression
Use ECW compression to shrink the size of your imagery datasets to just 5% of their original size, whilst still retaining the original visual quality.

JPEG 2000 compression lets you compress your imagery to 25% of the original size whilst keeping the underlying spatial data mathematically identical to the original data.

Smaller, compressed images are faster to access in your desktop applications. No more time wasting while your imagery loads in your software!

ECW for MapInfo is distributed in 2 different ways. As part of MapImagery, a MapInfo Professional image analysis plugin, from MapImagery Limited. And as a stand-alone product, which is included on the MapInfo Professional and MapX CDROMs, under utilities.

MapImagery has a free version, and a low cost commercial version with extra features. Both the free and commercial versions have some GUI features making it easier to work with ECW images. Both versions can be downloaded from the MapImagery web page.
Download and Install

The ECW for MapInfo is distributed as a self extracting executable archive. To install ECW for MapInfo under Windows 95 or Windows NT (or later) perform the following steps:

Make sure you have MapInfo Professional 5.0 or later installed on your PC.

Unless you have a very good reason, it is better to download the MapImagery self extracting archive, rather than the ECW for MapInfo one, as MapImagery is a superset of ECW for MapInfo , providing a useful GUI for working with ECW images..

Download the latest MapImagery self extracting distribution file from MapImagery Download (6 megabytes). If you just want ECW for MapInfo, this is available as a separate download, as well as being part of MapImagery from here ECW for MapInfo Download (1.18 megabytes). Note that the version numbers on these download archives relate to the internal version numbering of MapImagery products, and not to MapInfo version numbers.

Run the downloaded file by typing its name at a dos prompt, or double clicking on its icon in a file manager. After unzipping the files, the installation program will run, and will guide you through the installation process.

Follow the setup program instructions. You will be asked for the location of your MapInfo software (for example, C:\MAPINFO) and for the location to install MapImagery

MapImagery Professional is an upgrade to MapImagery, that provides an advanced set of raster tools, usually only available in high cost dedicated image processing products. MapImagery Professional can be used for preparing, adjusting and enhancing imagery, for use within MapInfo Professional based applications.

The additional features of MapImagery Professional can be activated via the entry of a software key, which can be purchased from the MapImagery web site or from Earth Resource Mapping.

Both MapImagery and MapImagery Professional use proven ER Mapper technology as a basis, so you can depend on their quality and strength. What this also provides is an upgrade path for power users, to the leading professional imaging product, ER Mapper.

Compatibility with a whole range of free imaging plug-ins also makes it simple to integrate MapImagery and MapImagery Professional into your organization wide GIS strategy

The most significant new features and improvements for this release are:
· Significant improvement in the display\process speed of imagery. ECW is now easily the fastest and most efficient format for compressed large imagery in the ArcGIS® Desktop environment.
· The ability to add remote ECW imagery to your project served by the Image Web Server. This functionality is a key feature of the ArcView® 3.x plug-in, and is now available in ArcGIS® environment.
· The addition of ER Mapper''s ALG and ERS formats. No longer are ER Mapper users and their clients restricted to ArcView 3.x plug-in for their GIS projects. Also, virtual datasets (e.g. ERS->TIFF) can now be added to your projects.
· New toolbar and commands provide a user-friendly interface, access to plug-in features and customisation of workspace. Some of the commands on the toolbar include, add remote ECW, launch ECW compressor, plug-in options, access to help documentation and about dialog.
· Better integration with ECW compressor. The ECW compressor can be accessed via command or export menu "Raster to ECW…". As the compressor is a separate process, compression tasks can be carried out without restricting workflow in the ArcGIS® environment. Other advantages include robustness and the ability for compression to continue while ArcGIS® is closed.
· Comprehensive help documentation with illustrations provides a useful resource for new users or who want to get the most from the plug-in.

Stuart Nixon CEO and Founder of Earth Resource Mapping said "This latest release of the free ECW plugin for ArcIMS confirms our continued support for GIS users. The ability to use images stored remotely on an Image Web Server adds an exciting capability to the ECW plugin for ArcIMS®." Mr Nixon went on to note that ECW has become widely used by ArcView® and ArcGIS® users because of its speed and the free 500MB ECW Compressor.

ESRI has been involved in the application of geographic information since it was founded in 1969 as a private consulting firm specializing in land use analysis projects. In the 1980s, ESRI evolved to devote its resources to developing and applying GIS software and has since become the largest research and development organization dedicated to GIS.

ESRI and GIS have grown from solving relatively simple tasks with simple building blocks—points, lines, and polygons—to solving complex tasks with enhanced data models.

ESRI will continue to evolve GIS technology to serve a broad range of user needs and communities.
