E N D
FalconViewTM • Diverse Map Types • Threat / Intel Feed • Illumination • GPS Moving Map • Tactical Graphics Overlay • Etc…
FalconViewTM 4.1 GIS Overlay Essentially a viewer. Limited control over drawing.
FalconViewTM 4.2 GIS Editor Includes many additional tools, customization options, feature selection, feature class editing, geoprocessing tools, better FalconView integration. GIS Editor Opens in FalconView
Supported Data Types • ArcMap Documents (.mxd) and Layer Files (.lyr) • GIS Servers including WMS, WFS, IMS, ArcSDE • All common raster formats. DTED. • Shapefiles, File Geodatabases, Personal Geodatabases, VPF • Etc…
Symbolizing GIS Data • Symbology can edited, like in ArcMap
Selecting Data Using the Interactive Map Interactive Selection Tools • Selection methods include create new, add to existing, select from selected, and remove from current selection.
Selecting Data by Attribute • Features may be selected based on their attributes. • Complex SQL queries are possible.
Selecting Data by Location • Cascaded geospatial queries are possible by using the select by location tool.
Getting Data Attributes • GIS Editor includes a selectable table of underlying data.
Exporting Selected Data Selected features may be exported to a new Shapefile
Consuming FalconView DTED • DTED from FalconView can be imported into the GIS Editor so that it can be used for geoprocessing.
Importing Other FalconView Data into the GIS Editor • Static Overlays: • Airports, Other DAFIF Types • File Overlays: • Threats • Tactical Graphics • Drawings • Local Points • Enabling import of FalconView data allows for geoprocessing in FalconView. There has been talk of placing OGC Simple Features Access interfaces on FalconView overlays to allow generic imports of all FalconView data into ArcGIS types
ArcGIS Geoprocessing Tools in FalconViewTM • All licensed ArcGIS geoprocessing tools will show up in a toolbox format. • GTRI is using “old” style geoprocessing access to enumerate and instantiate tools (IEnumGPToolbox and a IEnumGPTool).
Building a GUI to Specify Geoprocessing Tool Parameters • Each tool UI is built for the particular GPValue type represented. A class structure defines controls for each value type.
