gvSIG Desktop Quickstart
gvSIG is a Geographic Information System (GIS), that is, a desktop application designed for capturing, storing, handling, analyzing and deploying any kind of referenced geographic information in order to solve complex management and planning problems. gvSIG is known for having a user-friendly interface, being able to access the most common formats, both vector and raster ones. It features a wide range of tools for working with geographic-like information (query tools, layout creation, geoprocessing, networks, etc.), which turns gvSIG into the ideal tool for users working in the land realm.
Contents
If gvSIG user interface becomes unresponsive, try :kbd:`Alt+f` to open the file menu for example. User interface should work again, then. This bug only happens in the gvSIG distro for OSGeoLive. It doesn't appear in a normal gvSIG installation.
Note for version gvSIG 2.3.1: To load raster files the user must have write permission in the folder where the file is. Otherwise the application will ask for a valid folder (with write permission). Since the "user" user doesn't have write permission in the "data" folder, it will be necessary to select, when asked, a folder where the user does have write permission, like for example, "/home/user".
Start gvSIG and create a view
Select gvSIG from the application menu, |menu_gvsig|. The application usually takes about a minute to startup.
By default gvSIG opens with an empty project file with the 'View' document type selected. However, on OSGeoLive, gvSIG has been configured to start with a default project. Click on the :guilabel:`New Project` button or go to :menuselection:`File --> New Project`. When prompted, you can select :guilabel:`Discard Changes` as we won't be using the last project.
Click on the :guilabel:`New` button to create a view. It will be opened automatically.
Define the projection of your view
Select :menuselection:`View --> Properties`.
For the :guilabel:`Current projection`, click on the :guilabel:`...` button. This will open the **New CRS** dialog.
Using the dropdown list for :guilabel:`Type`, select EPSG.
Enter the EPSG code for the Coordinate Reference System. For this example we are using EPSG=4326, which is the WGS84 2D Geographic Projection. Then click on the :guilabel:`Search` button. This will list the selected CRS in the table below the search input field.
Select :guilabel:`OK` to return to the **View Properties** dialog. The EPSG code is now 4326 and that the map units have changed to degrees.
