Abstract

The geoc library aims to provide a very small and simple set of API's to assist the developer in creating geographically referenced canvas applications within the GTK-2 environment. Using this library, one can take advantage of the Canvas structured graphics engine and the Glade GUI builder to quickly prototype high level applications that render and manipulate geographically referenced data. This project was inspired by the tkGeomap project and it does roughly the same thing except that it uses GTK vice Tcl/TK.
