SEXTANTE Project

SEXTANTE is a set of free geospatial analysis tools. The main aim of SEXTANTE is to create a platform for the development of geoalgorithms that makes it easy both to implement and to use those algorithms.

"A GIS project launched in 2004 with the main goal of developing a GIS solution specially designed for the needs of regional government foresters. Though it was originally targeted at professional of forest management, it has proved to be an all purpose solution suitable for any user in need of strong geospatial analysis capabilities, and it is developed as such nowadays. Additional elements for forest inventory are being developed as well within the project, but they are not included in this website." [from Website]

SEXTANTE (Sistema Extremeno de Analisis Territorial) tools (>200), graphic modeler, and command-line interface work with gvSIG open source GIS and will become a standard release component of gvSIG v2.0. SEXTANTE is free software and is distributed under the GPL license.
