NAME
Gtk2::Ex::Geo - The main module to use for geospatial applications
Gtk2::Ex::Geo is a namespace for modules, classes, and widgets for geospatial applications. This package contains the modules:
Gtk2::Ex::Geo
The main module to 'use'.
Gtk2::Ex::Geo::Canvas
A subclass of Gtk2::Gdk::Pixbuf. Constructs a pixbuf from a stack of geospatial layer objects by calling the 'render' method for each $layer. Embedded in Gtk2::Ex::Geo::Overlay.
Gtk2::Ex::Geo::Overlay
A subclass of Gtk2::ScrolledWindow. A canvas in a scrolled window. Contains a list of layer objects. Functionality includes redraw, support for selections (point, line, path, rectangle, polygon, or many of them), zoom, pan, and conversion between event and world (layer) coordinates.
Gtk2::Ex::Geo::Layer
The root class for geospatial layers. A geospatial layer is a typically a subclass of a geospatial data (raster, vector features, or something else) and of this class. The idea is that this class contains visualization information (transparency, palette, colors, symbology, label placement, etc) for the data. Contains many callbacks that are fired as a result of user using context menu, making a selection, etc. Uses layer dialogs.
Gtk2::Ex::Geo::DialogMaster
A class which maintains a set of Glade dialogs taken from XML in DATA section.
Gtk2::Ex::Geo::Dialogs
A subclass of Gtk2::Ex::Geo::DialogMaster. Contains dialogs for Gtk2::Ex::Geo::Layer.
Gtk2::Ex::Geo::Glue
Typically a singleton class for an object, which manages a Gtk2::Ex::Geo::Overlay widget, a Gtk2::TreeView widgets, and other widgets of a geospatial application. The object also takes care of popping up context menus and other things.
Gtk2::Ex::Geo::History
Embedded in Gtk2::Ex::Geo::Glue. Input history a'la (at least attempting) GNU history that is used by Glue object with Gtk2::Entry.
Gtk2::Ex::Geo::TreeDumper
From http://www.asofyet.org/muppet/software/gtk2-perl/treedumper.pl-txt For inspecting layer and other objects.
