uDig

Desktop app framework for GIS access.

uDigOverview

uDig is an open source (LGPL) desktop application framework, built with Eclipse Rich Client (RCP) technology.

uDig can be used as a stand-alone application. uDig can be extended with RCP "plug-ins". uDig can be used as a plug-in in an existing RCP application.

The goal of uDig is to provide a complete Java solution for desktop GIS data access, editing, and viewing. uDig aims to be:

User friendly, providing a familiar graphical environment for GIS users;

Desktop located, running as a thick client, natively on Mac OS X (and Windows & Linux too!);

Internet oriented, consuming standard (WMS, WFS, WCS) and de facto (GeoRSS, KML, tiles) geospatial Web services; and;

GIS ready, providing the framework on which complex analytical capabilities can be built, and gradually subsuming those capabilities into the main application.

uDig is capable of opening, viewing, and editing shapefiles(shp, dbf, etc.), WFS (Web Feature Server) layers, as-well-as connecting to PostgreSQL / PostGIS, Oracle, and MySQL data sources containing both geometry and table data.

uDig is completely 'drag & drop' as it relates to it's sources, projects, and layers. Multiple map views, displaying multiple layers from multiple data sources are all possible within the uDig application.

Users may also connect/integrate uDig with GeoServer, as-well-as MapServer, providing a complete server/client solution.

uDig GUI has movable Projects, Layers, and Catalog View panes, as well as multi-pane Map Views. jpg, png, gif, tif, bmp, and geotiff with coordiante files may also be loaded and displayed with uDig, atop or under other layers, such as editable Vector files like Shapefiles, or loaded and displayed vector files from raw data sources such as PostgreSQL / PostGIS, Oracle, and MySQL.

The uDig user community has created various editing tools in the form of 'plugins' that may be easily added to the uDig client, extending spatial operations, and providing editing access to Grass files, and more.

Use uDig for geospatial data management and analysis, image processing, graphics/maps production, spatial modeling, visualization, and more.

Use uDig along side Google Earth, as it's turbo-charged big-brother. Export KML files to SHP files, and view/edit them in uDig.

NEW

Note: 3.7 is the version number reported in Finder; it is a reflection of the Eclipse runtime version. The developer refers to this version of the game as 1.4.0.

Bug:
  • Ensure Libs has correct source jars for GeoTools to aid debugging
  • WMS GetCapabilities does not attempt to use version 1.3.0
  • Printing prints black pages
  • ProjectUIPlugin causes SWTException invalid thread access because of FeatureEditorExtensionProcessor
  • NullPointerException on empty Layer and View line orientation
  • Color Theming Error
  • Eclipse General Wizards listed
  • SDK does not resolve sources in net.refractions.udig.libs.source
  • uDig License Change
  • WMS GetFeatureInfo 1.3.0 Inconsistent Axis Order
  • WMS 1.3.0 GetMap exceptions formats
  • Problems in execution from Geoscript Console
  • Image and PDF Export from Map is broken (An unexpected failure occurred: null)
  • DnD into Layers view does not add Layer when Service already registered in Catalog
  • PDF Image export wizard does not honor DPI setting
Improvement:
  • When all items in a category are disabled, the category should also be disabled
  • Cache IResolveAdapterFactory target classes to improve Rendering Performance
  • remove System.out.println() from bundle eu.udig.style.advanced
  • Point layers are visualized always with grey squares instead of random colour
New Feature:
  • DocumentView and Hotlink Tool
  • Standalone SDK target platform including Eclipse Sources
  • Add Graticule Graphich to net.refractions.udig.mapgraphic
  • RFC: Adding a Geoscript console to uDig
Wish:
  • Polyconic projection support
