Extended Map Functions

Complex Markup ability

Weave has the ability to add markup to the current map being used. It supports the following features:

1. adding points, polylines and polygons
2. attaching text to each of the above
3. modifying the vertices of a geometry element
4. rotating a geometry element
5. resizing a geometry element
6. changing the fill and line style of a geometry element
7. changing the opacity of a geometry element
8. changing the weight and style of the lines of a geometry element
9. deleting either a selected geometry element or all geometries in the redline layer.
   

Spatial Analysis.

The following functions are supported.

1. Intersection of selected features in another entity
2. Buffer selected features in the current entity
3. Buffer features in current layer using the selected features in another entity

Export Layer(s) to Shapefile

Weave supports exporting the current selection of an entity or entities out to a Shapefile using the ‘Zip and Ship’ tool. This provides a rapid spatial data extraction and export capability. The resulting zip file can be opened or saved at the user desktop.

Extraction of selected features and/or associated data

Weave supports the ability to extract the current selected features from a data definition into HTML or CSV format. The function is a plugin that can be extended to any type of file format.

Produce plots - based on simple and complex templates

Plots are produced as part of the built-in reporting capability. Maps are embedded on a report ‘page’ and linked to the current map window. Vector, and raster representations are supported and map reports may make use of parameters and scripts to provide override options to default map templates.

Both tabular and map output can be included in the production of written and printed reports. The reports may simply include the content (raster and vector) of the current map display and/or it may include predefined map layers that are mandated for inclusion in the report. In addition the report can be configured to generate a zoomed in map for each of the selected spatial entities.

The reports can be configured to use templates that provide appropriate marginal information to the map along with mandatory departmental clauses and statements. A wide variety of output formats are supported.

Include WMS layer(s)

Weave has the ability to add multiple WMS Services and WMS Layers to a Weave client. The current versions of WMS and 1.1 and 1.3 of the OGC WMS Specification are supported.

Apply security to tools, reports, data, print templates.

Weave provides Role Based Access Control. Users can be restricted to spatial and aspatial datasets via a client that is configured for a particular User or Group of users. The Weave administrator has the ability to configure Roles and apply them to different user interfaces, reports, entities, and data, etc.

Integration with Google Earth

Weave has a Google Earth plugin that allows the draping of a WMS service over the Google Earth service.
