C++ header-only libraries

Brig is a collection of cross-platform C++ 11 header only libraries that offers interaction with many databases and usability of the geometric data.

• use to convert a geometry between Boost.Geometry, WKB / OpenGIS 99-049 and WKT
• depends on Boost (header only)

• use as a compact wrapper for a unified access to databases:
  1. CUBRID (no spatial data)
  2. DB2 + Spatial Extender
  3. Informix + Spatial DataBlade
  4. Ingres (no valid spatial index)
  5. Microsoft SQL Server
  6. MySQL
  7. Oracle
  8. Postgres + PostGIS
  9. SQLite + SpatiaLite
• supported formats: WKB / OpenGIS 99-049 (geometry), UTF-8 (text), ISO 8601 (datetime)
• supported rasters: RasterLite, WKTRaster, simple_rasters
• ability to receive metadata (TABLES, COLUMNS, INDEXES) and to use basic SQL commands (SELECT, INSERT, CREATE, DROP) without a line of code in SQL
• multithreading
• depends on Boost (header only)
• optionally depends on (header only + dynamic loading):
  1. CUBRID C Client Interface
  2. libpq C Library
  3. MySQL C API
  4. ODBC / unixODBC
  5. Oracle Call Interface
  6. SQLite C Interface

• use to read all georeferenced rasters supported by GDAL
• use to read (and sometimes write) a variety of vector file formats supported by OGR
• depends on Boost (header only) and GDAL (header only + dynamic loading)

• use to read OpenStreetMap tiles
• depends on Boost (header only) and cURL (header only + dynamic loading)

• use to change a projection of WKB / OpenGIS 99-049
• EPSG support
• depends on PROJ.4 (header only + dynamic loading)

• use to draw WKB / OpenGIS 99-049
• depends on Qt

• use to transform a unicode text between UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32
• use for case mappings

• GCC 4.7.3
• MinGW 4.7.2 (threads-posix, sjlj)
• Visual C++ Compiler November 2012 CTP

• CUBRID website
• GIS commander
• Flagship game
