Appomattox is a project to build a set of cross-platform mapping objects for the .NET framework. It is also a desktop GIS application.

Appomattox currently supports the following data sources: shapefiles, raster data (JPEG, GIF, TIFF, bitmap, and PNG), and PostGIS.

The goal of Appomattox is to provide an elegant and intuitive user interface for mapping and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) without sacrificing power and functionality.

It is composed of three parts:

Cartographer
A library of mapping objects abstracted from a specific GUI toolkit.

Gui.Components
A library of GUI mapping objects for integrating mapping functionality into desktop applications based on the Gtk# Toolkit (a part of the Mono project).

WorkBench
A full-featured desktop GIS application built from the Gui.Components library. The intention is that WorkBench will fill a niche for desktop GIS in the GNOME project.

Requirements:
Mono
