The WMS software development team is excited about the release of WMS 9.1! This page lists the exciting new features that have been added to WMS 9.1.
What's new in WMS 9.1
Support of new GIS and CAD File Formats for Import and Export
The Add Data command in the Get Data toolbar allows you to read many formats of vector and raster GIS data. After reading the data, it can be viewed or converted to a format that can be used for hydrologic modeling in WMS.
If you have read raster elevation data using the add data command or if you have online data that contains raster elevations, there are various options for displaying hill shading on the raster data. You can also convert any raster elevation data to a DEM.
GIS Vector Data can be converted to a shapefile. Once your GIS data are converted to a shapefile, they can be used in any of the hydrologic modeling computations for tasks like computing curve numbers and infiltration coefficients.
Raster data with information about land use or soil type can be converted to a land use or soil type grid by right-clicking on the layer. USGS NLCD and European CORINE Land use data can also be downloaded for anywhere in the United States and Europe using the Get Data tool. More information about the new data sources available in WMS 9.1 can be viewed here.
WMS DEMs can be exported to several digital elevation file formats, including the following:
GeoTiff, BIL, ERDAS Imaging IMG, Surfer ASCII Grid, Surfer Binary Grid, USGS ASCII DEM, XYZ ASCII Grid, ArcInfo ASCII Grid, DXF 3D Point, Float/Grid, DTED, MapInfo Grid, GlobalMapper Grid, and Windsim GWS. All these files as well as many other formats can also be imported using the Add GIS Data button.
