GeoServer map development solution (2): Map Data Processing

GeoServer is a Community open-source project implemented by J2EE in OpenGIS Web Server specifications. With GeoServer, you can easily publish map data, allowing you to update, delete, and insert feature data, geoServer allows users to quickly share spatial geographic information. This series of blog posts provide comprehensive and complete GeoServer deployment solutions, including detailed descriptions of features such as GeoServer environment setup, map data processing, map data deployment, and map publishing service. The content in this article is summarized from my work through network learning. It is coincidental to the similar content. We also welcome the majority of users to come and exchange ideas.

GeoServer only supports publishing map data in ArcGIS format, that is, map data in. shp format. If the map data is provided by another vendor, a map data format conversion is required. This topic describes how to view and edit map data.

 

I,Convert map data to shp Data Format

GeoServer only supports publishing map data in ArcGIS format, that is, map data in. shp format. Before using GeoServer to deploy map data, you must convert the format of map data provided by different map manufacturers. For example, to convert the MapInfo map data to the shp format map data of ArcGIS, you need to use the tools provided by MapInfo for installation and replacement. The operation is very simple and will not be detailed here.

　　　　　　　　

Ii. Use uDig to edit SHP data

First, use uDig to open the shp format map file. Multiple shp format map data files can be opened at the same time. Open a single map data file is displayed in the map style of the map data file. If you open multiple map data files, the layers are displayed overlapping based on the geographical coordinates to determine the layer position.

　　　　　　　　

　　　　　　　　

 

After opening the shp format map data file, you can view the map layer information contained in the selected shp map data file through the uDig layer panel, after a layer is selected, you can view the detailed data of the layer on the Table panel. As shown in:

　　　　　　　　

The uDig tool allows you to view and edit map data. It is an indispensable tool for correcting map data in map data deployment.

 

3. Export SHP data styles from uDig

UDig provides a very powerful map data editing function. In fact, the most common application is to use uDig to edit the map data in shp format and lift the style file from it. The purpose is to modify the encoding. Generally, the map tag displayed by the WMS Service released by the default text encoding is garbled at noon. You can go to the Style editor of the layer by using the "Change Style" option of the layer.

　　　　　　　　

Use the visual editor to export the modified style as a style file (. sld), when publishing map data, you can use the edited style to the corresponding map layer to solve the Chinese tag garbled problem.

　　　　　　　　

　　　　　　　　

　　

So far, the introduction of map data editing and processing based on uDig has been completed. Of course, this article is only a brief introduction. I hope you can use this article to introduce more exciting articles about uDig. Next I will introduce how to use GeoServer to deploy map data.
