Production-Oriented Job Processing

   

Exploits Multiple Cores and Threads.  TNT Job Processing can significantly increase your productivity. TNT jobs are created by individual TNTmips processes or by your geospatial analysis (SML) scripts. TNT Job Processing queues and runs each job or task as a separate process so your computer OS can run them concurrently in separate independent threads/cores. Even a single core CPU can complete multiple export, resample, extract, fusion, and other TNT repetive tasks about twice as fast using job processing. If a multiple-core CPU is available your completion times can increase many times.

Making Geospatial Catalogs

   

TNTmips' geospatial catalog functions let you select data by its geographic location from your hundreds or thousands of Project Files and other map and image geodata file types supported for direct use (e.g., *.tif, *.jp2, *.shp). Before your geodata is available for selection by geographic area, you must build a catalog that contains the extents and other information about your geodata objects and files so that geodata that meets your geographic search criteria can be quickly identified.

Searching Geospatial Catalogs

   

The Select Object dialog's Catalog Search tabbed panel provides text and geographic methods to filter the search results from the geocatalog(s) you select. All files and objects in the selected catalogs will be listed on the Catalog Results panel if you do not enter text or geographic coordinates to filter your search. Use these search filters to help simplify the list and locate specific geodata layers you want to view or process if you have access to large collections of geodata.

Using Geospatial Catalogs

   

The TNT products let you select geodata for viewing and analysis based on their geographic location or by their location on your drive or local network. The geographic method can be used to select from all your own geodata layers or for web layers published by a Web Map Service (WMS) or ArcIMS. MicroImages maintains the catalogs for geographic selection of WMS and ArcIMS layers, while you create and update the Geocatalog(s) for the local data you want to select geographically. Geocatalogs contains the extents, properties, and physical location of georeferenced layers, objects, and files.

Mosaic to Google Maps Tile Overlay

   

A new Technical Guide for TNT 2009 describes how the TNTmips Pro Auto Mosaic process can can convert a large set of your maps and images into a tileset with the native Google Maps Tile Overlay structure. This tile overlay can be viewed by anyone from your web site in a web browser or locally from a DVD or other media. In addition to creating the strictly-defined Google Maps Tile Overlay structure, the process creates a sample HTML file that references your tileset and allows you to display it in a browser with various combinations of the native Google Maps tile layers and labels (i.e., Google Maps mashups).

Mosaic Selected Areas

   

A new Technical Guide for TNT 2009 describes how the Auto Mosaic process in TNTmips (Raster / Auto Mosaic) allows you to use all or a selected portion of each input raster object (or set of component rasters) to form the output TNT or Google tileset or TNT raster object. You can choose a previously-created object (region, vector, shape, or coincident binary raster mask) to define the processing area to be used from each input raster.

Custom Job Processing with Geospatial Scripts

   

A new Technical Guide for TNT 2009 shows how you can combine geospatial scripting and TNTmips Job Processing to efficiently perform specialized batch processing that cannot be accomplished by a standard TNT process.

To do so you set up a pair of custom scripts: an Input/Output script and a Process. The interactive IO script can be run once to choose the geospatial inputs, set job-specific processing variables, and automatically make an individual job file for each input.

Directing Outputs to Enable Concurrent Job Processing

   

A new Technical Guide for TNT 2009 describes Concurrent Job Processing.

One of the main benefits of the TNTmips Job Processing System (JPS) is that it allows you to easily run multiple concurrent processes to maximize the use of your computer's multiple processor cores. The JPS Job Manager allows you to specify the maximum allowed number of concurrent jobs and to manage and monitor the progress of these jobs.

Styles by Script to Shapefile *.avl

   

A new Technical Guide for TNT 2009 discusses how to ensure vector 'by script' styles are retained in exported Shapefile and KML file formats.

You can create a style assignment table with a single button click when your vector drawing styles are assigned by script. The Convert Script to Table button is found in the Vector Layer Controls window, which allows this feature to be used in any process with a View window. The table made by clicking on this button can be selected to control the styles when exporting vector objects to shapefiles. The styles are then translated into a same named *.avl file for use in displaying the shapefile in other software. The table created can also be selected to provide styles when exporting to KML.

Managing the Job Queue

   

A new Technical Guide for TNT 2009 discusses how to control the TNTmips Job Processing System.

The TNTmips Job Manager is the interface that allows you to control Job Processing. The Pending tabbed panel lists all current jobs that have not yet completed. This list shows the current status, priority, process name, running time, and other information for each job. More importantly, this panel allows you to manage the status and priority of pending jobs to determine the order in which they are run.

Concurrent Exports Using Job Processing

   

A new Technical Guide for TNT 2009 discusses how to efficiently manage huge batch exports.

The TNTmips Export process and TNTmips Job Processing System allow you to efficiently manage huge batch exports of hundreds of spatial objects, exploiting your computer's multiple cores for fast concurrent processing. You can export spatial objects from your TNT Project Files to any of the over 100 supported external file formats. And because you can directly select and use spatial files of many types (such as TIFF/GeoTIFF, MrSID, JPEG, JP2/GeoJP2, Arc Shapefile, DWG, ...) in any TNT process, you can use the Export process to perform batch conversions from one external file type directly to another, such as converting hundreds of MrSID files directly to GeoJP2.
