Box 23 Fax: +31 34 63 539 77 3769 ZG Soesterberg E-mail: tom@izf.tno.nl The Netherlands or: uunet!hp4nl.nluug.nl!tnosoes!tom =============================================================================== Peter van Oosterom (pjmg1@fel.tno.nl) contributed to this GEO distribution the Rtree index code, the Postgres geometric datatypes and many interface and functionality suggestions. GEO release INFO ================ This release contains a SPARC binary (./geo) for SunOs 4.1.1. Note: Many directories contain sparc binairies. Don't forget to recompile if you want to use these programs for another architecture ! This is very important for the .o files in the dynamic/ directory, because GEO will try to load them and crashes when they are for another architecture !!! The file ./man/geo.man.ps.Z contains a PostScript manual. If this file is too large to print you may try `lpr -s' to print the file on the workstation to which the laser printer is physically attached. (See the Unix manual page for `lpr'). If you don't have a PostScript printer then you may try to regenerate the manual (without the PostScript figures) from the latex document `geo.tex' in the man subdir. Postgres BUGS ============= See the file postgres/fixes/README for details. PORTING TO ANOTHER ARCHITECTURE =============================== What you'll need: * The GEO_ET2.2.tar.Z file. * GNU C++ (2.2.2) and GNU libg++2.1 (Just a few headers are needed) * The GNU dld (dynamic link library) * Postgres How to proceed: 1) Install GNU C++ and the libg++ header files. 2) Install the GNU dld library. 3) Load the GEO_ET2.2 tar file over the et2.2 directory of the GEO distribution. 4) Remove all binaries under the $GEOHOME directory and all subdirectories. 5) Compile ET2.2: 5A) cd $GEOHOME/et2.2 5B) make src 6) Recompile rtree binaries: cd $GEOHOME/rtree; make 7) Recompile dynamic binaries: cd $GEOHOME/dynamic; make 8) Recompile geo: cd $GEOHOME/src; make NOTE: The source is currently in a state of flux. I am porting to the new ET++ release (3.0) which will be out soon. Don't be bothered with the #ifdef ET25, the next release will be clean and compile with the new ET++ release. If you are in a real hurry then I could ftp the GEO_ET2.2 tar to an ftp site at your location. 1.30 =============== Added a demo in the geoville directory. 1.24, 1.25, 1.26, 1.27 ====================== Minor fixes and improvements. Inserted GNU Copying conditions. 1.23 =============== Found a bug in the creation of PineShapes which slowed down the creation of these shapes enormously ! 1.22 =============== Fixed Coord/Proj code. First Projection was always taken ! 1.21 =============== Fixed some bugs. Added Asynchroneous Portal code. 1.20 =============== Postgres.berkeley.edu release. Removed Rectangle argument from QueryShape::Draw. Added titles to dialogs. Fixed Label drawing, labels are now drawn on top of the symbology. Added -sym option 1.12 =============== Added -browse option. Toggle to disable refetch after edit. renamed geo_typeregexp to geo_regexp Added 'Viewed Rect' in Composer and made Composer modeless. Made Edit dialogs modeless. Added user defined menu entries Added user defined coordinate systems and projections 1.11 =============== Fixed some minor bugs involving: QueryShape Pick (lower layers had priority). Composer view was not gray after load of `manual edit' query. Manual edit as the first operation resulted in `Query Incomplete'. Added the_oid attribute to geo_dyninfo for operations on views. Hides postgres relations in some occasions. Moved dynamics to subdir $GEOHOME/dynamic. Renamed all geo attributes: loc -> geo_loc, color -> geo_color, etc. 1.10 =============== First official release. 1.07 =============== Fixed bug with multiple queries and loading of certain composed queries. Fixed editing of polylines (paths). 1.06 =============== Added polygon/polyline and point editing to GEO. 1.05 ================ Implemented two new Dynamic GeoShapes. See rtree/README 1.03 ================ New option -nortree disables rtree layer. The overview window has a Query layer now. (This means changed QueryShapes !) Allow editing of where/from clause in query composer. Handle type of tmin and tmax as if it was "abstime" instead of "dt". This allows using the abstime operators. (Postgres inconsistency ?) 1.02 ================ Queries can be built bottom up now. QueryShapes are picked with minimum distance instead of first match. (New virtual function `int Distance(Point)' for QueryShapes, so change and recompile dynamic loaded QueryShapes (e.g. DrawDyn.o) !) More than one table and QueryDialog can be viewed (shown) concurrently. Fixed bug in attribute selection in composer. Handle non existent rtree more gracefully. Warn just once.
