<div>Hi Paul,</div> <div> MapGuide Fusion Framework for MapGuide Looks quite intresting with basic editing capabilities and i am very eager to use in some of our projects,can you give any idea when it will be commercially available and how much will it cost as a plugin to the MGOS Application.</div> <div> </div> <div>As per your previous reply it seems that it will be only available for MGOS.</div> <div> </div> <div>Thanks</div> <div>Max</div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div><B><I>Paul Spencer <pagameba@gmail.com></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">Charles,<BR><BR>we are using this capability in some of our projects now but it is <BR>not as finished as I had hoped.

In the mean time, to satisfy curiosity, here is a<BR>>> quick outline:<BR>>><BR>>> The editing tools are being built on top of an application framework<BR>>> we are building for MapGuide
OS/Enterprise. This framework is<BR>>> tentatively known as Fusion or MapGuide Fusion. It uses a modified<BR>>> version of a weblayout resource to define the commands, toolbars, and<BR>>> context menus for an application. There are some changes to the<BR>>> schema of the weblayout that makes it incompatible with the existing<BR>>> ajax viewer and with Studio, so currently the weblayout has to be<BR>>> created by hand.<BR>>><BR>>> MapGuide Fusion uses an HTML page and a single javascript include<BR>>> (fusion.js :)) to parse the HTML page and insert functionality based<BR>>> on the ID of HTML elements and associated Commands from the<BR>>> weblayout. This allows much more flexibility when designing an<BR>>> application (you can put anything anywhere), and separates code from<BR>>> presentation quite nicely. It also compartmentalizes the code into<BR>>> separate pieces of functionality that
interoperate in a standard way<BR>>> to make code easier to write and maintain.<BR>>><BR>>> This toolkit is brand new, but builds on the experience DM Solutions<BR>>> Group has with building similar toolkits around MapServer.<BR>>><BR>>> The toolkit itself will likely be an open source project, hopefully<BR>>> merging into the MapGuide OS project and potentially replacing the<BR>>> existing weblayout/ajax viewer component (although there is a lot to<BR>>> be done and to discuss before this becomes a possibility).<BR>>><BR>>> The editing tools are part of something we are tentatively calling a<BR>>> Light-Weight Edit capability (LWE). They would be available as an<BR>>> extension to MapGuide Fusion and would include a simple editing<BR>>> application plus the actual widgets that would allow inserting<BR>>> editing into existing applications built on MapGuide
Fusion.<BR>>><BR>>> The editing capabilities include both digitizing (creating new<BR>>> features) and editing existing features in a web-based environment.<BR>>> The tools are seamlessly cross-browser compliant in Internet Explorer<BR>>> 6/7, Firefox 1.5/2 and Safari 2. I haven't tested in Opera, but I<BR>>> think it will work there too.<BR>>><BR>>> The tools generally work by creating shadow copies of feature sources<BR>>> to prevent accidents. There is an undo and automatic recovery<BR>>> capability because deletes and edits are stored in the Library<BR>>> repository rather than the Session - if you close your browser, you<BR>>> have an opportunity to restore when you next connect.<BR>>><BR>>> The tools work with the currently selected layer (managed by a layer<BR>>> control), and allow you to have multiple edits on multiple layers<BR>>> without saving. For layers that have a
single geometric type, the<BR>>> tool automatically creates the appropriate type of geometry. For<BR>>> layers that have multiple types, the user is prompted to select from<BR>>> the available types.<BR>>><BR>>> There is a commit tool that takes existing edits and merges them back<BR>>> into the original feature source.<BR>>><BR>>> Because we use the Feature Service API, the editing capability is<BR>>> independent of the provider used with the feature source ... but it<BR>>> does have to be a vector feature source of course!<BR>>><BR>>> For editing capabilities, we have the same basic node/segment editing<BR>>> capabilities that you would find in most vector editing packages:<BR>>><BR>>> * digitize/edit points, lines and polygons<BR>>> * select a node and drag to move<BR>>> * select a line segment (two nodes) and drag to move<BR>>> * shift-select to add nodes to the
selection<BR>>> * delete nodes (del key)<BR>>> * insert new nodes<BR>>><BR>>> and probably a few other features that I've forgotten.<BR>>><BR>>> We are also building an attribute editing grid so that you can edit<BR>>> the attributes of any selected feature (and newly created ones too).<BR>>><BR>>> Availability: well, much of this is actually already done. But it<BR>>> needs a few finishing bits and pieces, and substantial testing. My<BR>>> current plan is to have this ready for the new year.<BR>>><BR>>> Um ... seems like I've written a pretty good description ;)<BR>>><BR>>> Cheers<BR>>><BR>>> Paul<BR>>><BR>>><BR>>> On 28-Oct-06, at 4:24 AM, shailesh wrote:<BR>>><BR>>>> I don't think even mapguide Enterprise has any of these capabilites<BR>>>> either.
