Current Release Details
- GenGIS Version: 1.08 (Sept. 14, 2010) for Windows, 1.08 (Sept. 14, 2010) for Mac (Revision History)
- Python Version: 2.6.1 for Windows, 2.5 for Mac
- RPy2 Version: 2.0.3
- wxWidgets Version: 2.8.9
We are primarily developing under Windows XP/7 at this time. As such, there are some GUI issues with the Mac OS X version. A list of known issues can be found here. In case you're wondering why we ship all required dependencies with GenGIS, our motives are twofold:
- It simplifies the acquisition process, as opposed to many iterations of 'go here - get this'.
- It also allows us to ensure that working combinations of the attached libraries can be used. Conflicts might otherwise arise between wx, Python, RPy2, and R.
Windows Release

Sample Data
Sample data can be found on the Tutorials page.
Digital Maps
You can use our tool MapMaker to generate high-resolution GeoTIFF for any region in the world. Instruction on obtaining digital terrain maps (DEMs) are provided on the Tutorials page. We have also assembled a collection of example digital terrain maps:
- Sample world map (GeoTIFF, from GTOPO30)
- Africa (GeoTIFF, from GTOPO30)
- Europe (ASCII grid, from GTOPO30)
- South Pacific (ASCII grid, from GTOPO30, spanning example with longitude 0-360)
- South Pacific Reduced (ASCII grid, from GTOPO30, spanning example with longitude 0-360)
