Release 1.0.05
This is a maintenance release for ProRaster Essential and ProRaster Premium.
There are improvements to zooming, driver preferences, statistics reporting, statistics calculation and storage, and image export.
A number of bugs have been resolved. If you create algorithms with geographic rasters as well as local projected rasters, you will find the system handles these scenarios better.
Type | Detail |
---|---|
Feature | Raster Information reporting now has an additional mode that generates a complete report with summary statistics but no histogram data. The "Complete" reporting mode now writes the report to a nominated text file. |
Feature | Image layers can now be instructed to ignore alpha color data when blending is enabled for the algorithm, allowing layers to be blended but individual Image layers to ignore alpha values embedded in the color component. |
Feature | The Data Transform Editor now allows you to compute statistics for a selected field, band, and event. |
Feature | Data conditioning now allows you to apply a transformation (incorporating a scale and an offset) to any valid data in real time, where Y = A.X + B. |
Feature | Raster source driver preferences now allow you to offset a raster location in X and Y. |
Feature | Export now provides the BIL format as an output raster option, in addition to MRR and GeoTIFF. |
Feature | ProRaster can now remember each manual zoom extent you define so that you can easily recall it. The zoom extent is only remembered for the life of the ProRaster Session. |
Feature | ProRaster can now manually zoom to the range of a polygon set loaded from a MapInfo TAB file. The zoom extent is only remembered for the life of the ProRaster Session. |
Enhancement | Added several additional WMS raster definition files to the WebMaps shipping folder. |
Modification | Changed the behaviour of data transforms Table : Index over range, Index for value, percentage, and percentile. The index value is now at the base of the data range bin rather than at the top. This makes it easier to define valid tables as pairs of (Value,Index) where this coordinate marks a transition in the transform function. |
Modification | Combo boxes resize to fit long resource names. |
Modification | Cell value tooltip no longer drills into virtual raster sources unless in verbose reporting mode. |
Modification | Statistics are now written to a STTX file as well as the GHX file. If both are present, only the STTX file is loaded when the raster is mounted. This improves raster mounting efficiency. |
Modification | Added a new option to assign 87.5% of physical memory to the tile cache. |
Modification | JPEG compression in GeoTIFF is no longer supported in the MRD Image Export dialog. It is incompatible with RGBA color data output and would also invalidate any null value comparisons. |
Modification | When acquiring a default coordinate system for a layer or for the algorithm, we prefer geographic over projected coordinate systems. |
Bug fix | When you zoom to a raster the coordinate range of the raster was not being converted into the coordinate system of the algorithm. |
Bug fix | Application will crash if you turn off the Red component in an RGB layer. |
Bug fix | Sigmoid darkening transform with absolute value range was not allowing a K value of greater than 64. |
Bug fix | Data Transform Editor did not allow editing of local transforms (loaded from an MRD algorithm file). |
Bug fix | Export can appear to hang due to infinities generated by coordinate reprojection between global geodetic rasters and local projected rasters. This issue has been mitigated but not fully resolved. |
Bug fix | Virtual rasters containing defined events with a raster source defining the field and bands were not being referenced correctly and consequently were not being mounted correctly. |
Bug fix | The raster tile cache was not being set to reflect the user request on start up. |
Bug fix | Fixed component color data range calculator for rasters with multiple fields and events. |
Bug fix | Data conditioning properties were being lost when loaded from an MRD into the Internnal group. |
Bug fix | Polar stereographic projections were not always located correctly for the south pole. |
Bug fix | When a color table was deleted it was not removed from the recently used color tables list. |
Bug fix | The data zoom for an algorithm was sometimes reset when a new algorithm is created or loaded. |
Recommendation | Minimum display resolution 1440x900 pixels. |
Release 1.0.04
This is the final release candidate for ProRaster Essential and ProRaster Premium.
There are significant improvements to the tooltip reporting of raster values and coordinates in maps. You can also zoom the map to a variety of different bounds including coordinate system bounds, raster source bounds, and manually defined bounds.
To make it easier to manipulate classified and image palette field rasters, you can now automatically generate a color table legend for these fields. Edit the legend to modify the raster visualisation.
A number of bugs have been resolved, particularly in the blending operation for image layers, and in data – color transforms using color table legends.
Type | Detail |
---|---|

Modification | In blending Overprint mode, allow "Blend with background" to be set. |
Modification | In blending Override, Overprint, and LightTable modes, disable the layer opacity controls. |
Modification | Updated compiler version to 17.2.5. |
Bug fix | Blending Overprint mode for an Image layer now operates like per-pixel blending (without layer opacity). |
Bug fix | Blend mode for an Image layer now operates like per-pixel blending with opacity taken from the alpha component and layer opacity. |
Bug fix | Manual statistics box is disabled at component shadow level when overridden in the algorithm. |
Bug fix | Correctly support "no data" value on rows in a color table map. |
Bug fix | Fix reporting of color values from classification tables in the information report. |
Bug fix | Fix range clipping when using legend color tables. |
Bug fix | Fix loss of label when copying a legend color table. |

Enhancement | Shipped a handful of web mapping service (WMS) rasters including Google Maps and Open Street Maps. |
Modification | Rearranged main dialog user interface and simplified the ProRaster Essential user interface. |
The new Publish Clipped feature is found next to the Publish button on the main dialog. When you hit this button, a file browse dialog will open and you will need to select a polygon vector file in MapInfo table format. Your algorithm will then be published to the latest version of MapInfo Pro and displayed in a map, clipped to the polygon. Large, complex polygon sets are supported.
When you are defining a clipping range for a data-color transform on the component color property page, a new button is available that sets the range to the statistical range of the data currently displayed in the map. Zoom into the area of interest, hit this button, and your color stretch will customised to fit to the data range.
All raster data is cached in memory – even if only temporarily. The size of this cache can now be controlled from the Options dialog. A small cache is the maximum of 512MB or 25% of free memory. A medium cache is the maximum of 1GB or 50% of free memory. A large cache is the maximum of 2GB of 87.5% of free memory.
The open-source GDAL driver supports many raster formats. In ProRaster Essential this is locked down to about a dozen formats that have been tested. In ProRaster Premium this is now unlocked, potentially opening up support for many more raster formats.
One of the formats now supported via GDAL in ProRaster Premium is Web Mapping Services (WMS). A small set of XML files have been shipped that you can load like any other raster format. They include Google Maps, Open Street Maps, and more. Visit this page for more information on the raster formats supported in ProRaster.
