based on the currently available GDAL drivers [0] - now register GDAL drivers when app is instantiated not when a raster layer is opened [1] Notes: [0] However, there exist drivers that have no corresponding file name extension in their driver metadata, and so do not get appropriate filters populated in the raster dialog. Presumably the user can use the default "All (*.*)" filter to load datasets of those types; this probably should be tested. Grep for appropriate "XXX" comments for place to catch these types of raster drivers in buildSupportedrasterFileFilter_(). [1] After all, it doesn't make sense to reload the drivers every time a raster layer is opened. Presumably these drivers are loaded once and then remain static. The vector layer dialog file filters aren't similarly dynamically built. (Yet.) git-svn-id: http://svn.osgeo.org/qgis/trunk@784 c8812cc2-4d05-0410-92ff-de0c093fc19c
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
Resources
PostGIS Geographic Objects for PostgreSQL
Shapefile specification
