KB10867 - Avoid or resolve a credit card payment problem.

The credit card payment process is a matter between the credit card owner/customer, the international credit card payments system, and the bank that issued the credit card. The buyer provides the credit card information directly to the credit card processor using industry standard security protocols - so TatukGIS never receives or possesses the credit card information and plays no role in the approval process. TatukGIS offers the buyer a choice between two credit card processors: Stripe and PolCard ...

KB10930 - DK supported third-party libraries.

Though the TatukGIS Developer Kernel is designed for developing custom GIS applications without need for external software libraries, there are exceptions such as when a 3rd party library is required to support an undocumented, proprietary data format. Typically, the 3rd party software licensing requires the DK developer to independently download and license the required library directly from the software vendor (i.e. the licensing does not permit TatukGIS to redistribute the supported library with the ...

KB10915 - Support MrSID, ECW, or File Geodatabase formats in a DK application.

Deploying support in a Developer Kernel (DK) developed application for some undocumented, third-party data formats requires the DK customer (developer) to independently download a free decode library directly from the 3rd software company. These formats include LizardTech MrSID, Erdas ECW, and ESRI File Geodatabase. The DK supports each of these 3rd party decode libraries, but the licensing does not permit TatukGIS to include the decode library with the DK download package. Typically, the DK developer ...

KB10951 - WKT data format and its use in the Editor.

OpenGIS WKT (Well Known Text representation of geometry) is a human readable text format specification used to represent the geometry of a GIS shape, e.g., polygon, polyline, point, multi-point, and some other geometric objects. An example of a WKT string representing a simple polygon formed by four vertices (with coordinate values rounded to one decimal place) is: POLYGON ((30.4 10.2, 40.0 40.0, 20.7 40.0, 10.2 20.5, 30.4 10.2)) WKT format is typically used for the interchange of geometrical data. T ...

KB10953 - Developer Kernel for ActiveX cannot be installed on Windows XP.

Windows XP is a desupported product by Microsoft. The DK setup routine, indeed, requires a more recent version of Windows. We strongly suggest using VB6 on a more recent version of Windows. DK ActiveX created applications, never-the-less, can run on Windows XP. Just keep in mind Windows XP limitations, such as accessing https:// (SSL) webservices. You can follow www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_HhwD0ZptM to learn how to install VB6 on Windows 11. If that is not an option, drop an email to support@ for ass ...

KB10952 - DK app on Windows XP cannot open webservices.

The most likely cause of the problem the webservices are utilizing https:// (SSL) protocol. Recent SSL certificates are not compatible with Windows XP (which is desupported by Microsoft). If you are forced to use Windows XP, the only solution is to access http:// , when available.

KB10627 - GPS support, live tracking, etc.

TatukGIS products (the DK and desktop Editor) support live GPS tracking and batch data transfer between the software application and GPS device. Linear features can be created and edited from points collected with a GPS unit. GPS tracked objects can be represented as symbols, potentially a unique symbol for each individual object tracked. The GPS signals in the WGS84 coordinate system can be reprojected on-the-fly to any map coordinate system, just like with any other map layer. Live tracking The DK ...

KB10814 - TatukGIS Editor support for GPS.

Live GPS Tracking Editor GPS tracking functionality is provided as scripts to allow customers the flexibility to make customizations and, if required, implement specialized or more advanced GPS related functionality. This approach recognizes the impossibility of "hard programming" into the Editor a single set of GPS related features likely to satisfy the requirements of all customer situations. The Editor's scripting IDE exposes the comprehensive TatukGIS API, for almost unlimited possibilities. (R ...

KB10950 - Installation program cannot copy files to folder.

The program is unable to copy the Sample Data Set into c:\Users\Public\Documents folder. This issue can potentially occur with older versions of the DK and GIS Editor products. The most common reason for this is the Windows "Controlled Folders" setting. The easiest workaround is to temporarily disable this feature at the time of installing the TatukGIS software. Refer to Microsoft guidance provided at: Controlled folder access . Alternatively, unselecting Sample Data from the installation shoul ...

KB10870 - Customer generated PO's, delayed purchase payment terms, checks.

TatukGIS does not accept customer issued purchase orders (PO's) for the following reasons. 1. Purchases of TatukGIS software licenses are governed by the TatukGIS Purchase Policy and the pro-forma invoice that is generated upon completion of the online purchase order procedure. Use of TatukGIS products is governed by the TatukGIS Software License Agreement . Use of any customer-issued purchase order (PO) document would risk introducing conflicting stipulations. 2. The simplicity of the TatukGIS me ...

KB10949 - Topmost and basemap layers.

Basemap layer A continuous group of layers located at the bottom of the map (i.e., held in the lowest layer(s) of the map project) with layer.Basemap=True . Such group of layers are rendered in a background thread, independently of the rest of the map. Therefore, viewer methods InvalidateTopmost and InvalidateWholeMap have no effect on a basemap layer. Basemaps are great, for example, presenting webtile layers. Topmost layer A continuous group of layers located at the top of the map (i. ...

KB10874 - Purchase payment performed by different person or a purchasing department.

If your situation requires a different person or a purchasing department to approve and/or perform the purchase payment, there are two possibilities. Method 1 Perform just the online purchase order procedure without payment, and allow the different person or purchasing department to follow up with the purchase payment. This is done by forwarding the email TatukGIS automatically sends immediately following completion of the online purchase order procedure to the person responsible for performing the p ...

KB10946 - Basemap and ScreenToMap

If any ScreenToMap or MapToScreen is used when drawing a basemap, the results can be unpredictable. The reason is the typical call GIS.ScreenToMap() cannot be used because basemap uses its own viewer to draw in a background thread. A workaround is use _shape.LayerViewer.ScreenToMap like in the following sample Delphi code snippet (similar logic with all platforms). procedure TForm1.doLabelPos( _sender : TObject ; _shape : TGIS_Shape ; _pos : TGIS_LabelPosition ; ...
