The TatukGIS Developer Kernel (DK) is a comprehensive SDK for the development of custom GIS applications and solutions. This product is used for GIS solutions by a wide range of private, corporate, and government customers located in more than 50 countries. Depending on the preferred development environment or platform, the DK is provided as four separate product editions, each reflecting the same framework, API, and technology.
- DK-VCL. A native Borland®/CodeGear® Delphi™/C++ Builder™ VCL supporting both standard Win32 environment and native/manageable .NET development with Delphi7, 2005, 2006, and 2007.
- DK-ActiveX. An ActiveX® (OCX) control supporting Visual Basic, VB.NET, C#, Visual C++ and other ActiveX compatible programming languages, with Microsoft® Visual Studio versions 6, 2003, 2005, 2008, and Express. Support for .NET via COM.
- DK.NET. A manageable .NET WinForms component supporting C# and VB.NET with Microsoft® Visual Studio 2003, 2005, 2008, and Express.
- DK-CF. A manageable .NET Compact Framework 2.0/3.5 component supporting Microsoft® Visual Studio 2003, 2005, and 2008. Tested on devices running the following operating systems: Pocket PC 2002 and 2003, Windows Mobile 5 and 6, Windows CE.NET 4.2, Windows CE 5 and 6. For feature details refer to the Feature Matrix.
The API, functionality, and property sets of the DK-VCL, DK.NET, and DK-CF editions are nearly the same. The
code of an application developed with the DK.NET and DK-CF is exactly the same. The DK-ActiveX edition is very similar to the DK-VCL and DK.NET, with any minor functionality differences due to the completeness of the ActiveX wrapper around the DK-VCL code. The
close similarity of the four DK product editions makes porting a DK-based application between development environments, e.g., Delphi, C++Builder, Visual Basic, Visual C++, C#, .NET, Compact
Framework, etc., a relatively straight forward matter.
(See comparative code sample.)
While the DK is excellent for desktop or mobile GIS application development, it is also appropriate for the development of enterprise level, multi-user user GIS solutions using SQL database map layers. The DK supports the creation, storage, and access to vector map data in a number of SQL database layer formats: i) OPENGIS® Simple Features for SQL Implementation, ii) native TatukGIS SQL binary method, iii) Geomedia® SQL Server and Access Warehouse, iv) ESRI Personal Geodatabase, vi) ESRI ArcSDE and vii) Oracle Spatial/Locator. The DK support for the spatial database formats - Oracle Spatial and ESRI ArcSDE – is provided via the
DK-Spatial Database Extensions.
The DK toolkit is royalty-free for desktop application development and may be used to develop and deploy server based applications with the payment of a
DK Server Deployment Royalty.
Each DK license also includes a license of the TatukGIS Internet Server Developer Edition. This allows each DK licensed developer use of the Internet Server product for development purposes.
When evaluating or starting development with the DK product, TatukGIS recommends the
following:
-
review the introductory FAQ items in the “Evaluating
and Getting Started” FAQ reading list
-
review the UML Object Model Hierarchy for an overview of the DK structure and the
supported functions and properties
-
review of the
50
DK samples provided in Delphi, C++Builder, Visual Basic, VB.NET, and C#
-
refer to the searchable FAQ material,
which includes several hundred DK related FAQ items, as a supplemental resource to
the integrated DK helpfiles.
If any problem cannot be resolved from the information provided by these resources, contact TatukGIS for assistance. The DK license price includes access to e-mail technical support (within reasonable limits), product upgrades/updates, and licensed user forum during the first 12 months following the date of purchase.

Advanced label placement, styles, overlap avoidance, multi-field, formatted, and support
of practically any international language character set (Chinese, Japanese, Arabic,
Russian, Hebrew, etc.)
|

Printing/Print Preview
|
Yes, including printing templates and print to PDF (supported via a wrapper; separate
license required)
(PDF printing is supported via a wrapper; separate license required)

GPS |
Supports NMEA compatible devices for real-time tracking. "Snap to road" feature to correct for the GPS positioning error, etc. Supporting the GPX format for import/export of data to/from most GPS devices
|
|
Geocoding |
Street address geocoding and querying (consistent with TIGER naming); advanced street
address parsing (standardization).
Reverse geocoding (the finding the nearest geocoded street address to a given set of coordinates or map location).
|
|
Routing functionality |
Yes. Cost based, between a starting and ending point.
|
|
PixelStore image format |
The PixelStore image format is for the efficient storage of raster image layers of unlimited sizes
|
|
Footprint |
Very small. Basic application developed using Delphi or C++ Builder is approximately
1MB in one EXE file; ActiveX Library is provided in one 1.5 MB DLL. Running a mapping
function in MS Windows with TatukGIS uses very little RAM, regardless of complexity.
Free of all Dynamic Library Links and 3rd party libraries, resulting in user applications
that are easy to install and uninstall.
VCL-based applications compile into a single executable.
|
|
Speed |
Very fast. Speed comparison tests suggest
that the DK runs some operations run even 5 - 50 times faster than the leading GIS
development products. Writing to in-memory layers, spatial filtering etc., are very,
very fast.
Efficiently handles very large SHP files (up to 2 Gigabytes!)
