OpenLayers
From OpenLayers official Site:
"OpenLayers makes it easy to put a
dynamic map in any web page. It can display map tiles
and markers loaded from any source. MetaCarta developed the initial version of
OpenLayers and gave it to the public
to further the use of geographic information of all kinds. OpenLayers is completely free, Open Source JavaScript,
released under the BSD License."
WMSManager
We are developing an OpenLayers set of modules under the name of WMSManager. Here the list of main functions:
- WMSManager
- Create a map taking images from different WMS servers
- Choose the WMS layer/layers you prefere from a remote or local server.
- Choose the image type (ex: GIF, JPEG, PNG) for each layer
- Automatically assignment to queryable layers
- Enhanced legend functions
- WMSQuery
- Perform a query by point (GetFeatureInfo) of all queryable layers.
- WMSPermalink
- Send in a unique URL the map view you have in front (enhancement of the original one).
- WMSExporter
- Copy and paste the OpenLayers configuration code for the map view you have in front.
