GTViewer Add-On App Bundle Version 3 is Available

 

A new version of the GTViewer Add-On App Bundle is available. This setup contains several tools to extend GTViewer's functionality and to help admins configure certain GTViewer settings and configuration files (such as queries, presets, tooltips, etc.).  

This new bundle was made to support GTViewer 20, but most of the apps will run fine in versions 14 and 15.  The exceptions are the new Proximity Search Builder (GTViewer 20+) and the new Expression Playground (GTViewer 15.0.0.25+).  Most of the apps were updated to use a resizable form in GTViewer 20 and to use GTViewer 20's support for custom icons on the Menus and in the External App Dialog's Title Bar.  The Google Maps Directions app was added and the Find Redlines app was removed (its functionality is now part of GTViewer 20).

There are two groups of these apps in the bundle:

User Apps

• Import Data: imports a CSV file containing X/Y or Lat/Long values into GTViewer as redlines with the record data embedded as tabular attributes.
• Show Google Maps: launches a browser with Google Maps showing the same location as the current view in GTViewer.
• Google Maps Directions: launches a browser with Google Maps showing directions from your current location to the center point of the current View in GTViewer.
• Get Imagery: downloads raster backdrops for the current view in GTViewer.  You must have a paid subscription with Google Maps, Bing Maps, or Here. to support this feature.

Admin Apps

• Dynamic Graphics Interface: helps you create and configure Dynamic Graphics (labels and highlights).
• Expression Playground: helps you create and test GTViewer Expressions (used in many GTViewer configuration settings).
• Preset Builder: helps you create Display Preset Definition files using the Display Manager in GTViewer.
• Query Builder: helps you create Query Definition Files using a selected feature in GTViewer.
• Tooltip Builder: helps you create and test Feature Tooltip Definitions in GTViewer.
• Find Feature: help you find an instance of a certain type of feature (by Feature or Component) or a specific feature using its Key1 and/or Key2 values.
