Debian Edu Geography packages

A package to reorganize menu branches in order to get a structure easy to use for teachers and students.

KGeography is an aid for learning about world geography. You can use it to explore a map, show information about regions and features, and play quiz games to test your geography knowledge.

This package is part of the KDE education module.

Marble is a generic geographical map widget and framework for KDE applications. The Marble widget shows the earth as a sphere but does not require hardware acceleration. A minimal set of geographical data is included, so it can be used without an internet connection.

This package is part of the KDE education module.

GMT is a collection of tools that allow users to manipulate (x,y) and (x,y,z) data sets (including filtering, trend fitting, gridding, projecting, etc.) and produce Encapsulated PostScript File (EPS) illustrations ranging from simple x-y plots through contour maps to artificially illuminated surfaces and 3-D perspective views in black and white, gray tone, hachure patterns, and 24-bit color.

GMT supports many common map projections plus linear, log, and power scaling, and comes with support data such as coastlines, rivers, and political boundaries.

gpscorrelate 用于更新数码照片中与 GPS 信息(如纬度、经度、海拔)相关的 EXIF (可交换 图像文件)栏目。这种更新操作称为“关联”。

您所需要输入的数据是一系列 JPEG 图片和要关联的 GPS 数据(以 GPX 格式编码)。

如果在拍摄照片的时候(1 秒内)就已经能够获取对应的 GPS 数据，则 GPS 数据会直接存入对应的 EXIF 栏。否则，您得使用拍摄之前或之后的 GPS 数据来补充。

我们已经同时提供了一个命令行工具(gpscorrelate)和一个 GTK+ 的图形界面工具 (gpscorrelate-gui)。

该软件包包含的是命令行工具和 HTML 格式的文档。

Commonly referred to as GRASS, this is a Geographic Information System (GIS) used for geospatial data management and analysis, image processing, graphics/map production, spatial modeling, and visualization. GRASS is currently used in academic and commercial settings around the world, as well as by many government agencies and environmental consulting companies.

Install this virtual package to get a full GRASS system.

This package provides command-line utilities for MapServer.

MapServer is a CGI-based framework for Internet map services which supports Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standards. Scripting functionality in MapScript is provided by the suggested mapscript library packages.

A portable, high level graphics toolkit for the development of high performance graphics applications such as flight simulators, games, virtual reality or scientific visualization. Providing an object orientated framework on top of OpenGL, it frees the developer from implementing and optimizing low level graphics calls, and provide many additional utilities for rapid development of graphics applications.

This package contains utilities and examples (binaries).

地理信息系统（GIS）能管理、分析并显示地理信息数据库中的信息。QGIS 支持查看 和编辑地形文件（shape file）、利用 PostgreSQL/PostGIS 储存空间数据、实时投 影变换、 编排地图并通过插件接口支持一系列其他功能。QGIS 也支持显示各种经过配准的位图 和 DEM (Digital Elevation Model) 格式，包括 GeoTIFF、Arc/Info ASCII Grid 和 USGS ASCII DEM。

Viking aims to be easy to use, yet powerful in accomplishing a wide variety of GPS related tasks. It uses a hierarchical layering system to organize GPS data, maps, and other layer types with spatial data, such as coordinate lines.

Some of the things you can use Viking for are:

• Uploading and downloading waypoints, tracks to/from GPS.
• Realtime GPS tracking and track recording.
• Import and export of gpx files.
• Preparing tracks and waypoints for trips using maps from services such as OpenStreetmap and Terraserver. You only need to upload the data to your GPS before you leave. The maps together with your tracks and waypoints can also be printed and used during the trip.
• After trips, tracks and waypoints from GPS can be downloaded, stored, managed and reused in later trips.
• Analyzing OHV and hiking trips, understanding where you went and how far you were from something.
• Making waypoints and tracks to follow to easily get someplace you've never been before or don't have GPS data for but Terraserver maps exist for it.
• Making maps with coordinate lines.
• Analyzing speed at different places, adding waypoints where you forgot to mark one but did slow down or stop.
