GRS GeoMedia
 
GRS is a Team GeoMedia member and has developed commands and utilities to enhance the utility of GeoMedia's products.  GRS has developed a suite of utilities called GRSProMap that enhance the use and deployment of GeoMedia throughout your organization.  

The GRSProMap utilities can be divided into two categories:   Operation Commands and Configuration Utilities.


GRSProMap Operation Commands assist the user in the use and operation of GeoMedia and are used from within GeoMedia.

  • Buffer Selected Features is a simplified extension of GeoMedia’s buffering capabilities.  GeoMedia’s buffer creation only allows an entire Feature Class or Query Set as input. Buffer Selected Features allows you to select one or more point, line, or area features in the Map window and then immediately create buffers.
  • Digitize Legend Feature is a simplified method of selecting and digitizing Features in GeoMedia.  It allows you to simply click on a Feature Class in the Legend Window, select this command, and digitize the feature.  Once the Digitize Legend Feature is started, you can simply click on other Legend entries and immediately digitize them.
  • Place Point places a points/plots grid in a sampling area at a user-specified spacing.  You can select the area to place the point/plots by selecting an area feature from the map window.
  • MapManager is a utility that allows the user to create and manage named map compositions.  It uses the GM named view concept to store and retrieve user-defined map compositions.  MapManager allows the user to retrieve the maps with options for automatically retaining the same view area and scale, selecting a new scale, and fitting the entire map extent.

GRSProMap Configuration Utilities are used to customize the GeoMedia environment and to install the Operation Commands. The Configuration Utilities are typically used by system administrators to setup the environment for casual users

  • InstallApps reads a user-defined command list file and installs custom commands into GeoMedia.  It allows a user to distribute and install (or uninstall) a suite of custom GeoMedia applications. InstallApps runs outside of GeoMedia eliminating the cumbersome process of the user installing each application individually.
  • CustomMenu saves and installs custom GeoMedia menu configurations. CustomMenu allows the user to establish a configuration file containing a custom menu including custom commands. CustomMenu is used to distribute a completely customized menu interface.  It can be used to "tune down" GeoMedia for specific applications or extend the Menus to include standardized custom applications.
  • AddMenu adds menu items to the GeoMedia menu. AddMenu uses the same file format as the CustomMenu command.  The major difference between AddMenu and CustomMenu is that the configuration file for AddMenu should only contain the menu items that the user wants to ADD to GeoMedia.
  • SetWarehouse is used to modify the warehouse connection paths within a GeoMedia GeoWorkspace.  When you move a GeoWorkspace to another computer, or a Warehouse is moved to a different directory (folder), this invalidates the Warehouse paths in a GeoWorkspace. SetWarehouse automatically edits the Warehouse connections within a GeoWorkspace to point to the new directory location.
  • AutoWarehouse provides the ability to automatically create subsets of GeoMedia data sources and generate GeoMedia Access Warehouses for distribution to GeoMedia users.  AutoWarehouse automatically creates output Warehouses based on user-defined extent and content.  The process is controlled by a Master GeoWorkspace.  Within this GeoWorkspace, the Named Legends control the content and Extent Feature Class controls the extent of each output Warehouse.  For example, using a county Feature Class you can create automatically create county-based Warehouses from a state-wide data source.
