uDig for MAC

uDig Eclipse Rich Client (RCP technology) is used to create this open-source (LGPL) desktop application framework.

uDig is also available as a standalone application. uDig is extensible with RCP "plug ins". uDig is a plug-in for an existing RCP application.

uDig's goal is to provide a Java solution that allows desktop GIS data access, editing and viewing. uDig aims at being:

GIS users will find it easy to use, thanks to its familiar graphical environment.

Desktop found, running natively as a thick client on Mac OS X (and Windows & Linux also! ;

Internet-oriented, consuming standard (WMS. WFS. WCS.) and de facto(GeoRSS. KML. tiles) geospatial web services;

GIS ready provides the framework for complex analytical capabilities and is gradually incorporated into the main application.

uDig can open, view, and edit shapefiles (shp, dbf), etc. ), WFS layers (Web Feature Server), as well as connecting to PostgreSQL / PostGIS and Oracle data sources containing both table and geometry data.

uDig can be dragged and dropped to access its sources, projects, layers, and other information. Multiple map views and multiple layers can all be displayed from multiple data sources within the uDig app.

Users can also connect/integrate uDig to GeoServer as well as MapServer, providing a complete client/server solution.

uDig GUI supports Layers, Projects, and Catalog View panes. It also offers multi-pane Map Views. Geotiffs with coordiante files, jpg, PNG, gif and tif files can also be loaded with uDig. These files can be displayed atop or below other layers such as Shapefiles or editable Vector files such as Shapefiles.

The uDig community has created a variety of editing tools in the form 'plugins'. These can be easily added to uDig clients, extending spatial operations and providing editing access for Grass files and many other features.

uDig is used for geospatial data analysis and management, image processing, graphics/maps creation, spatial modeling, visualization and many other purposes.

Use uDig alongside Google Earth as it's turbo-charged big brother. You can export KML files to SHP and view/edit them using uDig.
