1. For a given layer lv, assign methods to the layer’s OnPaintShapelabel and OnPaintShape events:
; if ( lv is TGIS_LayerVector ) then begin
; ; lv.OnPaintshapelabel := G_ZoomLabel ;
; ; lv.OnPaintShape := G_PaintShape ;
; end;
2. In the implementation of these methods, calculate the size of the labels and symbols. F...

Set the size of the symbols composing the lines using - Width.
To scale the symbols sizes, i.e., make the symbol sizes automatically adjust to changes the map scale as the user zooms in/out), refer to Knowledge Base item KB10624 .

Yes. Unicode is supported as of the DK 9.0 version. Prior to the 9.0 version, the language character support largely reflected multibyte encoding.

Yes, certainly. The DK (v.9) can convert vector map data between any read-supported file type, e.g., SHP, E00, MIF/MID, TAB, DXF, DGN, DWG, GML, KML, JSON, S-57 VPF, DLG, SDTS, TIGER, OpenStreetMap, CSV, etc. or any supported SQL database layer file format into any write-supported file format, e.g., SHP, TAB, MIF, DXF, GML, JSON, DLG, or any write-s...

Symbols can be scaled, so that the size automatically reflect the current map scale (zoom level), using one of the following techniques. These techniques can also be used to scale label sizes, line widths, line outlines, polygon outlines, etc.
1. With the DK or Editor product, use the DK layer.OnPaintShape function to modify the symbol size, or ...

The TatukGIS DK, Editor, and IS products support (reading and writing) the GeoMedia Access Warehouse and GeoMedia SQL Server formats (as well as other SQL layer formats covered in Knowledge Base item KB10765 ). The free TatukGIS Viewer product can be used to read/display GeoMedia Access Warehouse map layers.
The SQL nature of the GeoMedia for...

The easiest option is to use the TatukGIS Editor product to export the vector map file from any TatukGIS supported vector map format, e.g., SHP, EOO, MID/MIF, TAB, DXF, DGN, TIGER, GML, VPF, DLG, SDTS, GPX, GDF, KML, etc. into a SQL database layer. The Editor can export to a number of SQL database map layer formats: i) TatukGIS SQL binary, ii) OpenGIS (...

The steps to edit the user interface translations for an already supported language are as follows:
1. Use the menu item Tools\Languages to select a language from the list of supported languages. This will convert the menus, messages, and strings of the program user interface to the selected language.
2. Click on the menu Tools\Languages\Edit langua...

To open a WMS just provide the URL, like:
GIS.Open( ‘http://onearth.jpl.nasa.gov/wms.cgi’ )
or
ll :=GisCreateLayer ‘OneEarth’, ‘http://onearth.jpl.nasa.gov/wms.cgi’ ) ;
if Asisgned( ll ) then
Gis.Add( ll )
It is also possible to force a particular parameter by embedding one of the WMS request parameters. The following example f...

A *.TTKGP (TatukGIS Project) file organizes a set of map layer files (such as SHP, MIF, DXF, DGN, TIFF, JPEG, SQL database layer, etc.), into a single map project. The *.TTKGP file stores the order/hierarchy of the layers, the coordinate system information for each layer and for the map presentation, and the visual layer properties (colors, line styles, o...

For versions 8.x of the DK and Internet Server products:
Step 1: Use the GIS.Units property to set the map units to match the units of the map, which are defined by the coordinate system of the map. For projected coordinate systems, the units would typically be linear units, e.g., meters, feet, kilometers, nautical miles, etc. For maps in an unproj...

Yes. This, can be done using the DK method TGIS_ShapeAsPolygon.
Other shape type conversions, such as point shapes to line shape, multi-point shape to single point shapes, etc., can be performed using similar DK methods, e.g., TGIS_ShapeAsLine, TGIS_ShapeAsPoint, etc.
Of course, first consider if the format of the layer accomodates mutiple shape ty...

The PRJ file, which was originally designed for hold the coordinate system information for ESRI SHP files (vector map files), can also be associated with JPG, PNG, and BMP image files if the proper naming convention is followed. For example, if the image file has the name “imagelayer”, the following naming must be used for the associated PRJ file.

Yes. The license purchase of a TatukGIS product includes 12-months of maintenance, which includes all updates/upgrades, e-mail technical support, and log-in access to the licensed user forum for the purchased product. The typical TatukGIS pricing to extend the paid-up support/upgrades maintenance for each additional 12-month period is 45% of the price o...

Yes. TatukGIS has successfully tested the Editor in a Microsoft terminal server environment, but never in a Citrix server environment. However, some TatukGIS customers have confirmed that the Editor and AIC products work just fine in a Citrix server environment.
The standard TatukGIS license agreement precludes the use of the AIC or Editor in a termina...
