GISDK Add-Ins

Add-ins can be used to provide end-users with easier access to existing software functions; to add new capabilities to the GIS engine; or to create hooks to your own applications. You can download any of the following add-ins to extend the capabilities of TransCAD or Maptitude version 4.0 or higher (except as noted).

NAME	DESCRIPTION
ADD CIRCLE	This toolbox creates a circle of a user specified diameter at a clicked point.
BATCH MAPS	This add-in prints a batch of maps based on chosen map features.
CLICK COORDINATE DMS	This toolbox displays a clicked point in degree/minute/second format.
DOWNLOAD FREE LAYERS*	This add-in provides easy access to no-cost web-based data sources.
EXPORT TO CSV	This add-in enhances CSV file export to include field headings.
GREAT CIRCLE LINE	This toolbox generates a great circle line annotation between two points on a map.
IMPORT BNG SHAPEFILES	This resource file demonstrates how to batch import all the Shapefiles in a directory where all such files have a common coordinate system (in this case the common coordinate system is the British National Grid).
MAP INVENTORY	This macro creates an inventory for each map open in the current workspace. Details for each geographic file are provided.
MARK DUPLICATES	This macro marks as duplicates any records that have the same value in a field as the first record with that value.
MARKER MANAGER	This add-in lets you manage marker files. You can open an existing marker file, save chosen markers to a new file, delete markers from the open file, and append markers to an existing file. This add-in allows you to share your markers with others.
POLYGON OVERLAY	This add-in overlays two area layers and create a geographic file of the intersected areas with a table of the percents of overlap.
REPROJECT USA	This add-in reprojects and edits a geographic area layer that has a global extent. The result is a map layer with the USA on the central meridian.
STYLE EDITORS	This toolbox lets you create custom line styles, colors, and fill styles.
STYLE SAMPLER	This add-in shows you how the various Maptitude colors, area fills, line types and symbol fonts look on your printer or plotter.
TRAVELOGUE	This add-in lets you click on a map feature and view or print a set of pictures for the feature.
WRITE FORMULA	This macro writes a text file with a list of formula fields and their expressions for the current layer.
ZERO TO NULL	This macro finds values of zero in numeric fields and changes them to null. It illustrates how to read records in a dataview, get values for some or all of the fields in a record, check and change values in fields, and write updated values back to the fields.
The following examples illustrate various GISDK functions and are meant to help you program your own add-ins.
NAME	DESCRIPTION
ADD ANNOTATIONS	This macro demonstrates use of the AddAnnotation() macro function.
CREATE FIGURE	This macro demonstrates use of the CreateFigure() macro function which is used to create charts (line, scatter, bar, pie, etc.).
DBOX SAMPLER	This macro displays a dialog box (dbox_sampler) that illustrates all of the user interface items that can be shown in a dialog box. Each item is displayed, along with the GISDK code used to create it.
ERROR HANDLING	This toolbox demonstrates different error types and ways to handle errors.
TIMER ZOOM	This toolbox illustrates use of the "timer" functions, used to execute a macro on a timed basis.
ZOOM TOOLBOX	This add-in illustrates how to use toolboxes, interface tools, and functions.

* Requires Maptitude/TransCAD 5.0 or higher
