A professional grade GIS software development kit (SDK) used by customers in a wide range of industries to develop custom GIS applications or add geospatial functionality to existing products. SDK editions are compiled natively for the Delphi/C++Builder, .NET, ASP.NET, ActiveX, and Java development platforms, providing the means to develop GIS applications for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and for the web. Each edition shares the same comprehensive object-oriented API and extensive functionality designed for GIS development, except for differences reflecting the different technologies.
Native support for more than 70 geospatial industry formats is compiled into the Developer Kernel library. Dozens more formats are supported via external drivers. Support is available for advanced spatial databases (PostGIS, Oracle Spatial, MSSQL Spatial and most others).
Features include powerful layer properties, legend and other visual controls, 5,000+ predefined coordinate systems, on-the-fly layer reprojection, vector editing, spatial and SQL queries, filters, topological operations, thematic/choropleth mapping, data classification methods, viewshed and AGL visibility analysis, vector-to-grid interpolation algorithms, point cloud-to-grid conversion, grid-to-polygon conversion, slope analysis, hydrology toolset, raster algebra, layer statistics, operation pipelining, dynamic shape aggregation, GPS tracking, 3D visualization, and general compatibility with industry standards.
