Diversity GIS Editor is an application component of the database framework Diversity Workbench. It might be installed as part of a [[DWB environments alternatives|DWB environment]], but also be used as a stand-alone application, e. g., in a local installation.

The Diversity GIS Editor is a tool to create, visualize, edit and store samples within a geographical environment. It may be used as a stand-alone application or as a component integrated as part of other DWB applications, i. e. [[DiversityCollection]], [[DiversityGazetteers]] and [[DiversitySamplingPlots]].
+
Diversity Image Inspector is an application component of the database framework Diversity Workbench.  
 
+
In combination with a background map, equipped with world coordinates, collections of Microsoft SQL Geometry Objects (points, lines and areas) may be displayed and edited in their geographical context. The screen and world coordinates of the objects will be calculated and shown in the status line. Color, thickness and transparency of the elements can be adjusted. The working area which keeps the maps and objects may be shifted or zoomed.
+
 
+
The background map could either be loaded from a storage device or created with an online map server tool provided by the editor. Other maps without world coordinates may be adjusted to the background map easily by setting 3 pairs of reference points on the background and the new map. The calculated world coordinates will be assigned and stored when the new map is saved.
+
 
+
A GPS functionality has been integrated. If a GPS device is connected, the current position will be displayed and - if an applicable background map is loaded - marked on the map.

*Save Button (Bugfix): Coordinates of georeferenced maps have only been saved, when "Save as SQL Geo Objects" was selected. Now they are saved in any case.
 
*Load maps (Bugfix): The artificial background map of georeferenced maps, which were not strictly north aligned, has been calculated wrongly, which might have caused incorrect aspect ratios on the working area. This has been fixed.
 
*GPS: The current position will only be displayed, if more than 3 satellites are available.
 
*ArcGIS shapes support:
 
**Adapted to 64bit MS Access Database Engine for reading dBase attribute files.
 
**Bugfix: Boundary calculation when saving multi object shapes has been corrected.
 
**Bugfix: Attributes from dBase attribute file have not been shown if there was just one line.

* Normally, when loading a shape, an appropriate map is generated automatically. But if the GIS Editor is offline, this is not possible. Thus a new feature has been added to allow loading a local map, if the creation from a map service fails.

Diversity Image Inspector is an application component of the database framework Diversity Workbench.

Software

Online manual

The manual is provided as pdf file (for current version check DWB user manuals).

The Diversity Image Inspector application

Current version

The Diversity Image Inspector application is built for Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5 or higher. Please make sure you have the correct version of this software already installed on your computer! (Check under control panel -> Software for Microsoft .Net Framework).

Download the Diversity Image Inspector application 1.0.0.0, November 21st, 2016

New features and fixes:

  • Initial version of the application


  • Download the .Net framework (see General Download Notes)
  • Download the Microsoft Access Database Engine which is necessary for reading ArcGIS dBase attribute files. Be sure to select the 64bit english version (AccessDatabaseEngine_X64.exe), because the 32bit version does not work properly!
