[postgis-users] New software: PGAT aims to be a graphical interface for PostGIS

[Jose Carlos Martinez Llario]

Hello list,

I would like to announce the availability of a new project that has the
goal to become a graphical interface to PostGIS.

PGAT is a graphical interface to PostGIS focused in mapping the spatial
operators defined in PostGIS. PGAT is implemented with Java and uses
GeoTools to render the geometries. PGAT is focused in using plain SQL
statements to carry on most functionalities. The license type is GNU
General Public License (GPL).

The currently functionalities (version 0.1 beta) are:

- Create/Delete spatial databases
- Import/Export shape files
- Manage tables and geometry Views
- Delete layers
- Add/Delete geometry columns
- Spatial Indexes (create, drop, vacuum)
- Copy layers (schema and data)
- Convert tables to views and viceversa
- Queries
- Work with schemas
- Spatial operations (buffer, dissolve)
- Log system to control errors and see SQL statements
- Dissolve improvement using spatial relations
- Spatial Indexes information

The project is still in its first phase of development. To continue with
this project I would like to know the opinions of the potential users
and if they consider that this project is useful. Of course everybody is
welcome to join the project or give some ideas.

In the following link are available the source code, binaries, some
screenshots and the contact information.

Thank you,
