Quantum GIS (QGIS) is designed to be a Geographic Information System (GIS)
built for Linux/Unix. QGIS will offer support for vector and raster formats.
Currently QGIS supports shapefiles and PostgreSQL/PostGIS layers.
Planned features include:
* Read and edit shapefiles
* Display georeferenced rasters (tiff, png, geotiff)
* Plugins to dynamically add new functionality to the application
* Support for database tables
* Support for spatially enabled tables in PostgreSQL using PostGIS
* Map output
* Script engine
* Metadata support
Preliminary Standards
QGis will be developed using the following:
* Qt GUI library
* Doxygen for documenting the API
