# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. # Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and # the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. # You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| postgis: PostGIS (support for geographic objects in PostgreSQL) postgis: postgis: PostGIS adds support for geographic objects to the PostgreSQL postgis: database. In effect, PostGIS "spatially enables" the PostgreSQL postgis: server, allowing it to be used as a backend spatial database for postgis: geographic information systems (GIS), much like ESRI's SDE or postgis: Oracle's Spatial extension. postgis: postgis: http://postgis.org postgis: postgis:
