Geo Plugin

This article is a stub.

A Geo Plugin is a definition for a connection which should be established when a new Project is created. One or more Geo Plugins can be defined in a Project Template. When that Template is used to create a new Project, the connections defined in the Geo Plugins are established, and data within the new Project's extent is imported. Depending on the Geo Plugin's configuration, various types of data can be added to the new Project automatically.

Types

A Geo Plugin can be used to import the following types of data:

Geo Plugin type	Feature type	Effect	Configurations
AREA	Vector		Geolink: Matching Attributes Mapped Attributes
BUILDING	Vector		Function Geolink: Function Matching Attributes Mapped Attributes
ROAD	Vector		Function Geolink: Function Matching Attributes Mapped Attributes
TERRAIN_HEIGHT	Grid	The elevation model is updated with data from all sources. Data from earlier sources take precedence over later sources.	Source(s)
WATER_BOTTOM	Grid	The elevation model is updated with data from all sources, but only in location with a Water Terrain. Data from earlier sources take precedence over later sources.	Source(s)

Geolink

A Geolink is a subdefinition for a geoplugin. It provides a specific filter and operation to perform on data found in the source of the Geo Plugin. A geolink provides the following linkage options:

Item definition

The data matching the Geolink's filter will be imported as Items with the selected definition. For example, when the Geo Plugin is for Buildings, features matched by the Geolink are added to the Project with that specified Function.
