Loading vector map from GEN format

The program carries out the loading of vector map from GEN exchange format.

The program represents library gentomap.dll, the calling to which is executed under the control of GIS Panorama system, by means of menu: Tools / Run Applications.

Before execution of task the user should resolve, what he is going to do:

1. To create a new vector map in a format of GIS Panorama from the data in GEN format;

2. To add the information into an existing vector map in a format of GIS Panorama  from the data in GEN format.

If the information in GEN format does not correspond to the definite division accepted for vector maps in GIS Panorama system or the user does not know this conformity, he should choose "Default" creation mode of output map for the given program. As a result of the program execution the user map with the following parameters will be created:

If the information in GEN format is in geographic coordinates:

- scale 1 : 100000;

- projection - Transverse Mercator;

- type of digital map - geographic map;

- system of coordinates - Pulkovo 1942;

- system of heights -Baltic elevation system of height;

- type of ellipsoid - Krasovsky.

If the information in GEN format is in rectangular coordinates:

- scale 1 : 100000;

- all other parameters are not set.

Further the user can transform the information to the necessary to him type of a map by means of  GIS Panorama system - Tools / Run Applications / Data transforming / Vector map transformation or Tools / Run Applications / Data processing / Cutting of sheets.

If the information in GEN format corresponds to the definite division accepted for vector maps or the user knows parameters of loaded vector map, then he can create the passport of a required vector map by means of GIS Panorama system (File / New) and after that execute the given program, having specified the created vector map as an output map. In this case the user should enter parameters of loaded map.

If the user wants to add the information from files of GEN format to the existing vector map he  should execute the given program, having specified the existing vector map as an output map.

The operations order of user at loading the information from GEN format.

1. After appearance of the basic dialog the user should choose GEN files which will be processed by given program. The user can choose both one GEN file, and group of GEN files.

2. If the user creates a vector map by means of the given task it is necessary to enter a name of resources classifier file - name of RSC file.

3. If the user creates a vector map by means of the given task, then he can specify a region name of the created vector map.

4. To choose a name of a vector map which will be created or into which the information from chosen GEN files will be added.

5. To choose a processing mode of output map:

- Default, if the user wants to create the user map with the definite map parameters;

- Append, if the user wants to add the information into an existing vector map or into map, preliminary created with the definite parameters in the sheet passport.

The program will load the information with codes of selected objects. After that the user can change type of the loaded objects by means of GIS Panorama system (Tools / Map editor).

6. Press Run button to start the process of loading of information from GEN file.

During loading of the information the user receive information about amount of loaded objects and amount of errors at loading the information.

During loading the information the user can stop process, having pressed Cancel button.

Vector map into which loading of the data from GEN format has taken place will open after ending of loading.
