Hi Peppe,

It is very promising. OpenKLEM seems a good extension for OpenJUMP.

Also it is nice that you could reduce dependencies. I think that a separate extension could be OK as it offers quite specialized methods (compared to my usage), but as we do not have an easy plugin mechanism to add extensions through the GUI, I'm fine if you include it in the PLUS distro.

Not sure I understand correctly the comparison with Sextante : do you suggest to replace Sextante ? Or is it just to demonstrate that OpenKLEM adds new useful capabilities compared to Sextant.

I'm a bit lost when it comes to raster capabilities. Does OpenKLEM relies on the same low-level libraries as Sextante (jai ? common-imaging ? imageio ?), does it rely on the same raster driver as Sextante (RasterImageLayer ?) or does it has its own ?

Thanks,

Michaël

Hi Jumpers
OpenKLEM is a set of tools for basic raster and hydrological analysis
http://ojwiki.soldin.de/index.php?title=Plugins_for_OpenJUMP#Raster_Analysis <http://ojwiki.soldin.de/index.php?title=Plugins_for_OpenJUMP#Raster_Analysis>.

One of our member, Alberto De Luca, has been involved on OpenKLEM development. The software is used by Prof. Roberto Rossi in his course  Gis Applications in Hydrogeology (University of Padua - https://didattica.unipd.it/off/2017/LM/AV/AG0062/000ZZ/AG01122459/N0 <https://didattica.unipd.it/off/2017/LM/AV/AG0062/000ZZ/AG01122459/N0>).

In the last 2 months, in agreement with Alberto and Roberto, I reworked OpenKLEM source code to reduce the depencies of OpenKLEM to external libraries (mostly OpenDocumet ones). And to make a copy of working OpenKLEM smaller in size and connected only to OpenJUMP plus libraries.

This reduced OpenKLEM setup from 8 files(2 core files + 6 OpenDocuments onse)-7 Mb to 2 core files-1 Mb.

My proposal in this mail  is to integrate OpenKLEM to OpenJUMP PLUS.

These are the advantages and integration with OpenJUMP. And a comparison Sextante:

1) Raster instrumentation enrichment
the hydrographic analysis tools in OpenKLEM increases the offer of Sextante's raster instrumentation

2) Basic raster tools:
Sextante has a more extensive set of basic raster instrumentation. But some of these have unresolved bugs (due to scarce users). Such as the "Sextante> Basic Hydrological Analysis> Sink Fill" tool.The equivalent OpenKLEM tools seem to work properly.

3) Availability of the source code.
OpenKLEM: The raster wrappers used in OpenKLEM are integrated into one of the two installation files. The source code is available for any changes / inspections. Sextante: The source code of the wrapper and gui of Sextante (sextante.jar and sextante-gui.jar) integrated in OpenJUMP (ver 1, I believe) is not available (unless Stefan still  saves a copy). GvSigCE has a recent version (2014) of Sextante still subject to developmen untill 2017t. I tried to recompile t it for OJ and found more dependencies to GvGIG libraries. I suspect that by now the two Sextante (OJ and GvSIGCE are fork)

4) Users
Sextante. Apart from me I do not know other users who regularly use Sextante
OpenKLEM. It is used in an annual university course in Padua


Documentation:There are some papers and thesys about the usage of Kinematik Local Excess Model (KLEM, the hydrographic model used by OpenKLEM). In Italian. I can resume the basics and  try to make a brief documentation about the tools, in English.

Source code. I can integrate OpenKLEM source code into OpenJUMP repository

Copyright: GNU General Public License. Alberto, you can correct me ;)

In this folder you can find OpenKLEM, its source code and the instruction to setup: https://sourceforge.net/projects/opensit/files/Openjump/OpenKLEM/ <https://sourceforge.net/projects/opensit/files/Openjump/OpenKLEM/>

I hope I have been brief and exhaustive. Waiting for your opinions

Best regards

Peppe
