Automate tasks in SIS Desktop
SIS Desktop includes a Developer Control Bar for running SIS API commands or Python scripts. SIS Desktop integrates with Python in two ways:
- Python in SIS (PySIS) – This gives developers direct access to the SIS API using a Python command line. Scripts can also be run through this interface
- SIS in Python (SISpy) – This embeds the API into Python and allows this capability to be used and run through industry-standard Python interfaces
ActiveX SDK
A development environment that offers full functionality of SIS desktop GIS products
The SIS Software Developer Kit (SDK) is an ActiveX development environment that provides GIS developers with the full functionality of SIS Desktop. It includes pre-built interface assemblies such as overlay dialogs, wizards and print templates.
SIS ActiveX deployment licences allow a developer to deploy an application with full control over functionality and user licensing. Developers can choose the level of capability their applications offer by selecting one of the three available ActiveX licence options:
- SIS ActiveX Viewer for extensive GIS data viewing, thematics and redlining
- SIS ActiveX Manager for thematic mapping, projection control, query and basic editing
- SIS ActiveX Modeller for professional GIS analysis and advanced geometric editing

Built-in capabilities for the extension and customisation of SIS Desktop
SIS Desktop includes functionality that provides access to the SIS API. This can be used to create or modify add-in applications for SIS Desktop. It provides granular control over all aspects of mapping data and interfaces, and the development environment can be used to build routines, extend functionality, and customise interfaces and workflows.
Included as standard in SIS Desktop.
Web Map Development
Extend and modify SIS WebMap
SIS WebMap includes built-in capabilities for extension and customisation using .NET.
Add-ins can be written to extend the capabilities of and create websites based on SIS WebMap controls. These use the development environment as the mechanism for linking and providing interactive functionality. They can access the SIS WebMap Web.UI, the GeognoSIS® HTTP and SOAP interfaces, and other development environments to extend the existing website and link to other systems.
Developers can also create their own websites, based on SIS WebMap controls. The dedicated Web.UI contains JavaScript classes and controls that allow developers to build their own version of the SIS WebMap site from the ground up. All components of the website can be added to a blank page to build custom mapping websites.
Client-side development can be done by dropping the interactive mapping control directly into any HTML page to provide embedded mapping support. This can be optionally extended with custom functionality using JavaScript on the client side.
