INTRODUCTION
SgdWms is an Internet-based map server that meets the standards proposed by OGC WMS ®
(Open Geospatial Consortium).However it also implements a number of capabilities that make it unique
allowing for viewing of:

— Anaglyph 3D terrain.

— Generation of orthos in real time.

— False color.

— Contours.

This viewer, built with JavaScript technology, allows access to all these operations in addition to
the standard map navigation.

The description begins with a general overview of the viewer. Then we will move on to describe
the navigation tools (zoom, pan, etc ....) And it ends with an explanation of the options in the "options"
panel.

VIEWER OVERVIEW

GENERAL INFORMATION
This viewer lets you view geographical information comfortably because it integrates all the tools
necessary to position ourselves and move across the map. It also offers advanced mapping information
such as the projection system or data that refers to that information.

The display consists of the following parts:

1. Toolbar

2. Data Display Panel

3. Mapping Information Panel

4. Map Overview

5. Options Panel

TOOLBAR
The toolbar allows us to navigate and move around the map. The utilities that we provide are as
follows:

1. UPLOAD KML: Allows you to load .kml vector files and display them in your
viewer.

2. SAVE MAP: Saves the current base map.

3. ZOOM IN: zoom allows enter specific area greater detail by two methods

• Clicking on the area: the map is centered on the selected point and
then a 2x zoom is applied.

• Window: holding down the left mouse button and dragging creates a
window which will zoom.

4. ZOOM OUT: this will allow us to zoom away using the center of the selected
area as our point of reference.

5. ZOOM CENTER: centers the screen based on the point we indicate .

6. SCROLL: Scrolling is the method most used by the user, allowing greater
visual accuracy when moving through the view. To do this, once you select
this tool, move the mouse while holding down the left mouse button,
dragging the image to the desired location.

7. AREA OF INTEREST: This tool is able to save an area that is being displayed
for later usage.

8. EXTENDED ZOOM: zooms to the full extent of the current display view.

9. PREVIOUS VIEW: loads the previous zoom.

10. NEXT VIEW: Displays the image after the current display, as long as
there has been one loaded already

11. DRAWING TOOLS: this icon gives access to a variety of graphic editing options.

• — Edit: Select the tool and then the object to change its properties.

• — Insert markings: to introduce predefined icons.

• — Poly lines: create a poly line for which you can set various attributes. Use the
"escape" key to close this tool.

• — Polygon: create a polygon for which you can set various attributes. Use the
"escape" key to close this tool.

• — Texts: allows the user to insert text.

• — Delete: Select the tool and then the object to remove it.

• — Upload KML: is the same tool used by the taskbar.

• — Save: the same tool used by the taskbar.

12. MEASUREMENT: This tool allows you to digitally measure both

distances and areas. Selecting this option displays a panel which contains
information on the last leg length and total distance scanned. Hitting
escape or clicking on the initial point, we will close a polygon so that we
can now calculate the area of the polygon. There is also an option to change
the units of square meters to hectares.

13. SEARCH: With this panel we can search using coordinates or street
• Coordinates: coordinate search locates a point by entering its coordinates and
reference system. If the coordinates are UTM X and Y are entered in meters. If
geographic coordinates are utilized then units are entered in degrees, minutes and
seconds, indicating whether we are in the northern hemisphere or the south and
east or west of Greenwich.

• Street Views: This tool allows to search using the Google search engine ™.To do so
we'll just give the name of the street population and we want then we automatically
search will move to the point searched and suggests a list of sites if the search is
ambiguous.

14. COMPARISON OF SERVICES: this panel allows us to compare two WMS

services. The comparison may work by scanning or degraded by using a
slider.

• Slider: hide one of the services while maintaining the one below.

• Gradient: changes the opacity of one of the overlaid services.

15. INFORMATION: Shows or hides the information panel. This panel

contains the following information:

• — Datum: Datum information on the current data .

• — Projection: reports on the projection system of the data.

• — X: Shows information on the X coordinate where the cursor is positioned. If the

projection is UTM view this coordinate units are in meters. If the projection is in
Geographic Coordinate Units then the unit is degrees.

• — Y: Shows information on the Y coordinate where the cursor is positioned. If the

projection is UTM view this coordinate units are in meters. If the projection is in
Geographic Coordinate Units then the unit is degrees.

• — Numerical scale: Shows numerical information on the map's scale.

• — Graphic scale: Shows graphical information on the map's scale

16. HELP: provides access to the help document.

OPTIONS PANEL
WMS SERVICES
This option allows us to change the view that we are viewing and whether the service is raster,
vector or 3D.The table would allow us to select one or more views, which we would alternately.

VISUALIZATION

In this panel we will be able to change the viewing options for our data.

• Graphic scale: allows us to view the map's scale which is recalculated depending on our
zoom depth.

• Show/Hide Vector: to make show or hide vector layers that have been configured in the
view.

• Show/Hide Raster: to make show or hide raster layers were configured in the view.

• Ortho on the fly: Allows real-time orthoprojection for an area being displayed. This option is
available when stereoscopic vision is enabled.

• Contour lines: to view the contour lines. This option is available when stereoscopic vision is
enabled.

• False color: to view the contour lines. This option is available when stereoscopic vision is
enabled.

• Grid: Displays a grid that is superimposed on the map for easy observation of its
proportions.

REFERENCE SYSTEM
In this panel we can change reference system for the frame in which data is displayed. This
change will also be reflected in the information panel.

We choose whether we want to use UTM coordinates or geographic coordinates and the datum
which refer to the data.

LOCATION MAP
This map marks the area being currently shown in the display area via a rectangle, placing it on
the general map of the area.

It also allows us to scroll through the map with the cursors located on all 4 sides Double clicking
on the point that we want to focus the map or simply dragging the rectangle position.
