GFC

eographic Foundation Class (GFC) Library is a set of C++ classes defining basic geographic data types, including points, lines, rectangles, circles, polylines, rings, complex polygons, rasters, and other atomic data types such as integer, real, varchar. GFC also features abstractions of timestamps and time series which are useful in capturing the dynamics of spatiotemporal data. The R-tree spatial indexing is supported through the GRtree and related classes. Several commonly used map projections are also provided in this library. A number of utility classes such as GXMLProcessor (for parsing XML files which are well-suited for transfering spatial meta data) and ESRI Shapefile reader are very useful for writing GIS applications.
