Amusingly, I was having dinner with an engineer that does GIS at the exact moment you send me this, and she asked me much the same question. Unfortunately, not being into GIS I don't know anything about the answer, except: 1. Sage is a Python program 2. You can use any other Python program with Sage. So... search for python and gis in Google: * http://gispython.org/ * http://gislounge.com/python-and-gis-resources/ * http://www.gis.usu.edu/~jlowry/python/ There are tons of links, whole courses about this, etc., etc. Specializing to google earth: * http://gis.utah.gov/code-python/python-google-earth-animation but that's using COM in windows, and Sage doesn't run natively under windows yet, so that's not an option, unfortunately. [[Plug: I did sort of get sage to run natively partly on windows today: http://wstein.org/home/wstein/tmp/sagenbwin.png :-)]] William --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URL: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
