Grids Java Library Home Page

Andy Turner

Introduction

This library of packages is a geographical raster calculator for 2D Square celled spatial data. It began to evolve in the year 2000 and has been used in a number of research projects. Version 1.0 beta 1 of the software was released in March 2005 as open source under the GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2.1 .

A major refactoring is underway to Grid enable this raster calculator. The first step is to make it work on the the UK National Grid Service . I would like the code to be developed in a more open way using SourceForge , Codehaus , or GridForge . If you want to be involved, then please email, thanks in advance for your feedback.

The software has been developed on Java 1.5 (J2SE 2 Platform Standard Edition 5.0) . It requires a compatable run time environment to be used.
