MapWindow GIS ActiveX Control • The core MapWindow component is a programming object (think “MapObjects”) that can be added to a form in Visual Basic or other languages supporting ActiveX
MapWindow GIS Desktop GUI • A Programmable GIS that supports: • Visualization • Data analysis • Modeling • Custom GIS application development • Accepts Scripts and Plug-ins • Based on VB.NET and C#
Sample MapWindow GIS Plug-ins • Automatic Watershed Delineation • Water Quality Analyst • Streamflow Analyst • PhotoViewer • TIN Builder/Viewer • Grid Wizard • Model Manager • BASINS • SWAT Model
