[Qgis-developer] Announcing ENKI (Was: Hydrological toolbox)

[José Anderson]

Dear Mr. Kolberg,

does the toolkit have polyline representations?

Also, does it have scalar map visualizations?

Thanks

Within ENKI, you can assemble a model from a set of subroutines, which are separately built as dll plugins. ENKI comes with a selection of these dlls, and developers can easily add new ones to their library.
