The latest news on InterpOSe, SuperpOSe, and TranspOSe from Dotted Eyes
Dotted Eyes were requested by EDINA to enable the market-leading OS MasterMap extraction tool InterpOSe to work with EDINA’s new OS MasterMap service for Academic organisations within the UK.
InterpOSe for Digimap® is now available free of charge for academic use, and handles both the Topography and ITN layers for conversion to various file formats, including Shape, TAB, mid/mif, and DWG/DXF. Also included is the Dotted Eyes-produced style file for ArcGIS users, enabling the rich styling of OS MasterMap to be fully realised.

Full styling for OS MasterMap layers loaded by SuperpOSe into Oracle is now available for Oracle’s MapViewer, and the open-source GeoServer product (via SLD files). This extends the styling support provided by SuperpOSe for providing identical styling support across numerous vendor’s packages. Both use PNG image files to provide support for rich-texture fill patterns.
Oracle’s MapViewer uses a series of tables under the user MDSYS; SDO_STYLES_TABLE (for individual feature styles), SDO_THEMES_TABLE (for assigning styles to features), and SDO_MAPS_TABLES (for grouping themes into a viewable map layer). SuperpOSe populates all three ready for use, with the same styles as found in its support for ESRI and MapInfo products, resulting in a styling that is visually indistinguishable.

The SLD (Styled Layer Descriptor) is an OGC-compliant styling file, built on XML code. SLD files can be used in a wide variety of applications, as they are a vendor-neutral specification, including GeoServer and Google Earth. Deployment consists of uploading the SLD file to the server, along with the corresponding PNG image fills, tying it to the data, and then the data is ready for presentation.
