I have been involved in a project requiring a significant amount
of GIS editing. As part of this process I have evaluated the most
reliable and efficient tools for polygon editing. My basic
requirements were:
snapping to vertices during add/split
Easy to move around/zoom in/out/pan while editing
reliable
Fortunately, I was able to assess the process across most GIS
packages, and this how they fared:
MapInfo - Editing is quite laborious, involving
several steps for .....

format, an EMF file is created. Windows attempts to allocate enough

for quite a few years now, and it is quite interesting how the
approach has changed over time. The early days saw the reliance on
client based plugins and has slowly progressed to no reliance on
client side plugins and virtually no reliance on server side
solutions.
The Past
My first attempt at a webGIS was a custom built solution
rendering maps in SVG which essentially served as a stepping stone
until a reliable c.....
