Module overview

Submitted by Pieter De Graef on Thu, 03/09/2009 - 15:18

Different modules have different impacts and different purposes. Therefore different categories of modules are required. Geomajas has defined the following set of module categories:

  • Core: the main Geomajas modules. No Geomajas application can run without these modules.
  • Face: Faces that present a certain Geomajas client interface to the user.
  • LayerModel: A module that adds support for a certain type of data source. These data sources can be both vector data formats and/or raster data formats.
  • Extension: Modules that add new functionality to the Geomajas library.
  • Application: Working examples of applications using the Geomajas GIS framework.
