Mapping package

The mapping package is part of the Octave Forge project.

Development[edit]

Roadmap[edit]

Targets for next mapping package releases:

  • Add rasterwrite.m (complementary to rasterread). Please contact package maintainer, there's already a C++ skeleton.
  • Maybe add wrapper functions around rasterread and rasterwrite (for e.g., geotiff, ASCII grid, etc.). Matlab has arcgridread
  • Add more options to mapshow.
  • Implement support for projections and coordinate transformations. I (current mapping pkg maintainer) have little need nor much experience with this subject => help welcome! BTW there's an OF proj package that offers some of the functionality.
  • Add geodesy functions. Patches have been submitted and integrated. The current roadmap is to further integrate Felipe Nievinsky's geodesy toolbox, updated by M. Hirsch.

Several functions in the current mapping package release (1.4.2) and upcoming (1.4.3?) haven't had much testing. Please try them out and report issues in the bug tracker with "[octave forge](mapping)" tag in the title.

Missing functions[edit]

Follows an incomplete list of stuff missing in the mapping package to be matlab compatible. Bugs are not listed here, search and report them on the bug tracker instead.

As a number of polygon functions in the mapping package relate to geometry stuff, chances are that some of that lacking functionality is already present in the geometry package. In fact there was a discussion about which functions belong where. Matlab compatibility suggests the mapping package, but based on similar functionality the geometry package is probably a better home. Anyway the mapping package has the geometry package as a required dependency.

Recent matlab mapping toolbox versions are classdef-based. It is unclear yet if we need to follow this route as classdef support in Octave is still experimental and has no file I/O.

Info icon.svg
this entire section is about version 1.4.2 (released early 2022). If a Matlab function is missing from the list and does not appear on the current release of the package, confirm that is also missing in the sources, see esp. the INDEX file, before adding it.

  • [1] As of mapping-1.2.1, rasterread can read any raster file that the GDAL library supports; see http://www.gdal.org/frmt_various.html. No separate functions for individual file format are required. There's some work to do on unifying output formats.
  • [2] As [1], rasterinfo does the job.
  • [3] As of mapping-1.2.0, there's a basic mapshow.
  • [4] Implemented in OF geometry-4.0.0
  • [5] See OF image package
  • [6] Replacement function implemented
  • * Implemented in dev version
