USER INTERFACE - A PROCEDURE FOR A RASTER-BASED GIS SOFTWARE

Abstract

The author developed a program system named TERINFO which has already been used in practical education of the students for two years. This program system will be described in an other article. This study describes how it is possible to form a user interface for a raster-based educational GIS software. It also describes a versatile raster-based operational process that the author has developed. Finally, concludes that ease of use and manipulation, flexible data input and well arranged open building are all very important factors in realization of an educational program package.
