Geographic Foundation Class (GFC)
Homepage: ftp://ftp.intevation.de/freegis/misc/gfc
Last update: 2006-03-08 02:08:23

including points, lines, rectangles, circles, polylines, rings,
complex polygons, rasters, and other atomic data types such as integer,
real, varchar. GFC also features abstractions of timestamps and
time series which are useful in capturing the dynamics of spatiotemporal
data. The R-tree spatial indexing is supported through the GRtree
and related classes. Several commonly used map projections are
also provided in this library. A number of utility classes
such as GXMLProcessor (for parsing XML files which are well-suited
for transfering spatial meta data) and ESRI Shapefile reader are very
useful for writing GIS applications.

GeoDjango
Homepage: http://geodjango.org/
Last update: 2008-11-01 12:27:36
GeoDjango is a geographic web framework, it's an official branch of Django. Django development revolves around "MTV:" Models, Templates, and Views. Models describe your data, and GeoDjango extends Django models with geographic fields that correspond to OGC geometries. GeoDjango requires no knowledge of SQL, as both the creation and querying of spatial databases are fully automated through the use of Django’s object-relational mapper (ORM). Spatial queries enable the developer to explore relationships among their models. Views are regular Python functions that act as the logic of the web application and feed parameters to templates for generation of web output. Using the Python ctypes library, GeoDjango provides built-in "pythonic" APIs to GEOS and GDAL free software geographic libraries. The interfaces include functionality for manipulating, examining, and importing spatial data. For example, the LayerMapping utility uses the OGR capabilities of GDAL for automatic importation and transformation of spatial data formats (e.g., shapefiles) into GeoDjango models.

AtlasStyler is a Java/Swing WYSIWYG application which simplifies the creation of these rules. The user can load point, line of polygon features (only ESRI Shape at the moment) and define their appearance. No XML or SLD/SE knowledge is required. Methods like 'classification by unique values' or 'colorization of quantities' are provided. The classbreaks for quantitative data can be set manually or calculated with 'equal interval' or for a given number of quantiles. AtlasStyler is connected to an online database of open-source SLD/SE symbols and the user can save/load his own artwork locally. The latest version of
AtlasStyler can always be started via JavaWebStart from the (german-only) web page.
AtlasStyler is based on Java 1.6 and Geotools 2.4
The application is localized in German, English and French.
