Abstract:
We present here the development of an Open Source Geographic Information System (OSGIS) tool using MapWindow GIS and petrel software to prove its efficiency for different applications. Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer system capable of capturing, storing, analyzing, and displaying geographically all types of data. MapWindow is free of charge, extensible geographic information system (GIS) that can be used as an open-source alternative to desktop GIS to develop and distribute custom spatial data analysis tools. It is a “Programmable Geographic Information System” that supports manipulation, analysis, and viewing of geospatial data and associated attribute data in several standard GIS data formats. It is a mapping tool, a GIS modeling system, and a GIS application programming interface (API) all in one convenient redistributable package. It was developed by MapWindow Open Source Team to address the need for a GIS programming tool that could be used in engineering research, without requiring the purchase of a commercial GIS system, or become a GIS expert.
