Learn more about the short course and register here: https://www.introgeoda.com/ &lt;http://introgeoda.com/&gt; The short course provides an introduction to spatial analysis using the latest version of the cross-platform OpenGeoDa software. The focus is on two important topics. The first is the concept, statistical tests for and interpretation of spatial autocorrelation, one of the most fundamental notions in spatial analysis. The second deals with the principles behind spatial regression, especially how to carry out and interpret diagnostics for spatial autocorrelation and how to estimate models that incorporate such spatial correlation. The short course is designed in a hybrid format, mixing lectures with ongoing hands-on demonstrations, laboratory exercises and Q&amp;A to address participants' questions.

This release mainly focuses on vastly improved visualization functionality. 2D and 3D visualization has been greatly enhanced. ILWIS 3.8 enables users to create 3D visualization of all types of maps and animations almost on the fly. Animations have been greatly improved and function now as a normal (animated) layer in a map window. On the fly reprojection/resampling of raster maps makes it possible to display multiple raster maps with different georeferences. In addition, OpenGL has greatly improved rendering performance. Additional significant changes have been included to the 3.8 version. • Help Files are now available as true HTML in the browser and can be located in the installation folder of ILWIS. • Time is now supported as a domain (Date + Time) as defined by ISO 8601. • A number of new applications for change detections, iso line, aggregating maplists have been added. • Cross</pre> Ann Hitchcock 2011-07-14T07:20:52 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.freegis/2372 <pre>*** sorry for any cross posting *** 52°North’s SOS 3.2.0 contains a variety of new features, source code optimization and bug fixes.
