Abstract: The disclosure generally describes computer-implemented methods, software, and systems for enhancing visual applications. A computer-implemented method includes: identifying a map-based application for enhancement, identifying a configuration file defining one or more application parts for enhancing the map-based application, the one or more application parts associated with a second application, and incorporating the one or more application parts from the identified configuration file into the map-based application. In some instances, incorporating the one or more application parts into the map-based application includes identifying a symbol associated with each of the one or more application parts, accessing data from the second application associated with each of the one or more application parts, and inserting an instance of the symbol for each application part based on the accessed data from the second application.

Abstract: A set of locational information items are provided, each of which includes a set of coordinate values. These locational information items can be represented on a map including various levels of detail. A mapping application is provided which is intended to display these locational information items on various levels of detail of the map. The locational information items are clustered on certain levels of detail of the map. To cluster the locational information items, a level of detail for each LOD can be specified; a Delaunay Triangulation can be created over the set of the locational information items provided; a list of the edges associated with the Delaunay Triangulation can be generated and sorted by length; a cluster tree can be built; and the locational information items are displayed in clusters at each LOD.

Abstract: Various embodiments for hit testing of visual objects are described herein. Data of visual objects is generated in a two-dimensional clip space. The data of visual objects includes two-dimensional projections of the visual objects. Cursor coordinates are transformed into the clip space and bounding box calculations are performed using the transformed cursor coordinates and the generated data. Hit testing is performed when there is a hit on a bounding box of at least one of the visual objects in the clip space. The hit testing is performed in a three-dimensional space. A result is then presented on a user interface based on the hit testing.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods, systems, and computer program products for providing access to vector data on a mobile device providing. A corresponding may comprise a mobile device; a server remote from the mobile device; the mobile device configured to: transmit, from the mobile device to the remote server, one or more requests for first vector data, the requests specifying the first vector data, a display property of the mobile device, a first zoom level and a location within the vector data; and the remote server configured to: determine, based on the one or more requests, one or more image tiles representing information of the requested first vector data; and provide the one or more image tiles to the mobile device for display.

Abstract: A system for generating a Web service includes a graphical user interface to guide a designer to create a Web service in pre-defined stages. The graphical user interface receives an input that selects an object and associated attributes from a repository of pre-defined business objects. The system includes a Web service generator that automatically generates code describing and implementing the Web service according to the selected object and attributes. The system also includes a Web service engine to perform runtime operations of the Web service.
