From there, the user could use Calligra's functionality to manipulate the cartographic objects and overlay additional information in the form of charts, text, graphics, etc.
Eg.. Sam has a set of data about local hiking trails and wants to produce a map. The data is stored in a PostGIS database. Sam currently uses Quantum GIS/GRASS to access and manipulate the PostGIS data. Sam performs analysis and then uses Calligra to import and enhance the thematic layers. > > Something that you could find useful is the KML support in Marble.

I want to see what libraries and options are currently available. -- Brylie Oxley http://gnumedia.org http://libregeo.org _______________________________________________ calligra-devel mailing list calligra-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/calligra-devel
