News 2008-2009

Web Map Services (WMS) (Jan 2009)

The button btaide is used to load a WMS layer like a complementary layer.
Several WMS services are offered by default, such as BRGM [French public institution involved in the earth science field], SANDRE [French data reference centre for water], GéoLittoral [French coastal data service], etc. By way of example, the GéoLittoral server allows users to display the extent of tides in the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel (pictured opposite).
As soon as users select a WMS server, they can access a list of available layers in the form of a tree structure. In addition to each layer, each server may offer a key and additional information. Users can access any type of WMS server, with live reprojection if required.

Our Discover France demonstration is itself WMS server-based and can be found at the following address: http://www.geoclip.fr/danseuse/GC_wms.php

Géolittoral

The tree structure of the layers corresponds to that of the themes and indicators.
A WMS client (uDig, JUMP, ArcGIS, Mapinfo or Géoclip, etc) is required for access to WMS layers. Once you have launched the command to open a WMS layer, copy the above address into the ad hoc field. Please note that a Géoclip application can load a WMS layer from a different Géoclip application...

Online help
(Nov 2008)

On the bottom right of the screen, a button btaidegives access to the cartography user manual presenting its main functions in eight chapters.
For more information, a new, more detailed help system is now available. It covers the basics as well as providing a detailed description of the more complex functions, such as advanced search or management of temporary selections.
The system also includes a key word search engine. The french version can be accessed directly via: www.geoclip.fr/aide/fr, the english version will be available soon.

Reports and summaries (Jan 2008)

Nothing new in the past 6 months? Of course, we just haven't taken the time to talk much about it... New projects are in development all the time! The latest and most visible additions concern the comparison tools.
Firstly, the display of the whole France value below the key.
In the table of information on the selection, there is also a button bouton that gives access to the summary values for the selected zone and for the whole of France for a selection of indicators.
Just beside it, there is another button bouton that provides a series of theme pages, comprising tables and graphs, forming a detailed report on the selection.

And finally, for fun, a tick box above the browser environment to controldisplay of a raster WMS layer.
