Rich OX Client

This application realizes a Java-Swing frontend of the OX-Framework. It focuses on the generation of manifold visualizations of O&M-encoded sensor data received from a SOS. But the application allows also the connection to WMS-, WCS- and SAS- instances.

The application offers the user basic GIS functionality. This includes e.g.:

Display of a map view
Display of an associated legend
Display of a chart view
Management of map layers
Zooming and panning of the current geospatial extent
Controlling of temporal animations
Picking and selecting of shown map feature objects

The generic architecture of the underlying OX-Framework and the well-structured design of this application make it easy to customize it and to extend it with new use-case specific features.

Download & Quickstart

You can also download the Rich OX-Client application built upon the OX-Framework. To start the OX-Client application directly you need a Java 6 RE configured in your PATH variable. Execute the "start.bat" to run the client. (Hint: Your local proxy settings can be configured under the "Options"-menu). The used version of the OX-Framework works fine with 3.0.1 version of the 52°North SOS implementation.

If you want to start the Rich OX-Client from the OX-Framework release or the SVN version please run the following class: org.n52.oxf.ui.swing.test.OXClient

To see how to use this client application please have a look at the following demo videos.

Demos

The following demo videos show the Rich OX Client client application in action. In this example the client is utilized to explore sensor data captured by weather stations in South Africa. The user has already added 3 WMS layers to the map and has zoomed to the region around Cape Town.

1. Connecting to an SOS

2. Selecting the "Features Of Interest" (4 weather stations close to Capetown)

3. Producing diagram visualizations

4. Producing animated visualizations

5. Rendering an interpolation by using the _Inverse-Distance-Weighting (IDW)_ algorithm
