What is it ?

We have developed TerraHS, a software component that enables the development of geographical applications in a functional language, using the data handling capabilities of TerraLib. TerraLib is a C++ library that supports different spatial database management systems, and that includes a large number of spatial algorithms. As a result, we get a combination of the good features of both programming paradigms.

Features

The major features are:

  • Input and output formats: Layers or themes from TerraLib databases (just MySQL), Esri Shape File (*.shp), TIFF file.
  • Data types: Raster or image, Vectors (Point, Line, Polygon and Cell), Temporal (DateTime, Interval)
  • Topological operators: intersects, within, touches, crosses ...
  • Geometric operations: intersection, union, difference, rotation.
  • Metrical operations: perimeter, area, distance, centroid, shapeindex, compacity, fractal

The following figure is one example of a vector data can be exported to a TerraLib database, and then it can be visualized with TerraView.

TerraView

The pattern for a main program in TerraHS has the folowing structure:

module Main(main) where

import TerraHS

host = "localhost";
dbname =  "demo_terrahs";
user = "root";
password = "root";

main:: IO()
main = do
	-- loading a vector data from a shape file
	gos <- loadVectorFile "MG_MUN96.shp"
	-- open a connection
	db <- open (TeMySQL host user password dbname)
	-- saving in a database layer
	store db "layer_name" gos
	print "saved"

Two different outcomes from a image data and theirs respective operations (a)input image, (b) inverted image and (c) reverse image.

Software dependencies

TerraHS is a Haskell GIS application built using the TerraLib GIS library. In below, is available a debian packages for TerraLib. TerraHS-0.8 uses the TerraLib-3.3.0 version.

Ubuntu-icon.pngTerraLib-3.3.0 for (Ubuntu 9.04 (x86))

Optional, but is recommended to install the TerraView application.TerraView is a GIS application based on TerraLib, a GIS library to handle vector and raster data in geographical DBMS such as Access, PostgreSQL, MySQL and Oracle Spatial.

The TerraLib and TerraView source files can be downloaded from official sites:

We have developed some specific libraries to support some functionalities for TerraHS. The libraries can be installed from an unique package (TerraLib4c+Translib)

Or can be download in separated way:

Translib, a library for translation among different geographic format files (no database connection), based in the TerraLib library. This library is required for TerraHS to deal whith shape files (*.shp).

Terralib4c, a library that maps c++ Terralib functions and classes to C functions. Required by Haskell to do binding with TerraLib api.
