A BRIEF HISTORY

(click on a topic to get more details)

1991

Lorienne is founded: 1991.01.10
Lorienne is founded by a group of engineers specialized in 3D graphic from Renault car manufacturer.

1993

A vector program dedicated to the cartography: 1993.05.03
After 2 years of development the first vectorial drawing software dedicated to the cartography is now ready. Nuages 1.0 was based on NextStep OS. The main innovations were the graphic template,

1995

Updating conventional films: 1995.05.05
Dry 1.0 is an evolution of Nuages. It brings a unique technology for retrieving and updating printing conventional films using vector tools. The program is based on an advanced color system which can act on several color layers in one operation and manage advanced color options such as overprint and knockout. Another function is able to regenerate screening.

1997

A step forward to Windows: 1997.06.25
The avaibality of OpenStep on Windows system offers an opportunity to move the programs on Windows NT 4.0, a more popular operating system. Lorienne leaves the NEXTSTEP system and prepare the porting of its programs to Windows.

1998

Open your maps to the digital world: 1998.07.15
LorikWeb 1.0 automatically creates mosaics of raster or vector tiles from various data sources (GIS, spatial databases or LorikSoftware cartographic repositories). Created tiles are directly usable by Internet, Intranet or mobile applications. LorikWeb is the first LorikSoftware program developed using MFC classes and prefigure the porting of the LorikSowftare programs to native Windows.

Easily integrate your GIS data: 1998.12.04
GISLink 1.0 is a program dedicated to the conversion of existing GIS data sources into LorikSoftware format. Its main strengths are the capability to apply geometrical conversion to fit various data to the same projection while associating objects to graphic styles using powerful filters.

1999

Enrich and automate your layouts: 1999.04.12
LorikPublisher is the second program developed using MFC classes. LorikPublisher is the finishing application for the printed publication of maps produced with LorikSoftware. It brings all features for the interactive or automated layout requested for the creation of cartographic products with a professional quality.

2001

Automated text placement and map creation: 2001.01.15
Cirrus converts GIS and CAD files or databases sources into LorikSoftware format. Data sources in various formats, structures or georeferencing are simultaneously processed and adapted to the same coordinates system and the same graphical aspect. Cirrus brings a powerful technology which includes advanced features such as the automatic text placement, cartographic generalization and geometrical conversion.

2006

A new range more integrated

2006.09.08

The new range of LorikSoftware applications includes:

LorikGISMapper 1.0 (in place of Cirrus)
LorikCartographer 1.0 (in place of DRY and Nuages)
LorikPublisher 2.0
LorikDigital 1.0 (in place of LorikWeb)

This major launch finalizes the complete software product renewal of Lorienne in order to offer a wider, state-of-the-art and homogenous suite.

2007

Open to databases and PDF format: 2007.02.03
LorikSoftware 1.1 new features include Database direct reading (Oracle Spatial and PostgreSQL), PDF import in vector and raster modes and direct Adobe Flash output support in raster format. A new program is also added to the range: LorikGISPublisher which enables the creation of map sheets from GIS and spatial data sources.

A unique feature to create and update maps: 2007.12.09
This release brings a new important and unique function: the differential updating when creating map directly out of spatial data. New, modified and deleted elements are highlighted while an interactive interface make easier the map updating. All previous enhancements are so preserved.

2009

Database storage to easily share data: 2009.09.25
LoriKSoftware 2.0 brings many enhancements to the existing functions. Data sharing with GIS systems is now possible with the capability to store data into an Oracle or PostgreSQL database. Rich Content Management stored as additional Attribute Tables comes now in standard. As in GIS programs one can either connect to existing tables or create its own content. Adobe9 Geospatial PDF with full support of layers and Google compatibility is offered with the KML export among other capabilities. Other digital publication can be achieved thanks to the compatibility with the OpenLayer package.

2011

Advanced cartographic generalization: 2011.06.26
Within the large new features list of LorikSoftware v3.0, most important are the simplification of the user’s interface being more user’s friendly enabling quicker hands on; new features and new algorithms dedicated to the cartographic generalization and the addition of a new Apple’s iOS SDK to use maps in applications on mobile and tablet newest devices.

2012

DEM integration and new features: 2012.04.02
LorikSoftware still enhances the large set of functions with the addition of automatic creation of contour lines and hillshadings from DEM import. Gradient come to improve the graphic capabilities while the compatibility with the ECWP or WMS servers enables to use more datasources.

2013

Deeper in cartographic generalization: 2013.10.24
LorikSoftware 5.0 marks a turning point in the programs evolution with the addition of a lot of new functions dedicated to the cartographic generalization. LorikSoftware is today the most advanced solution for generating maps varying in scale and aspect from one single data source. Several successful projects have been the base of all these improvements and we are still working on this topic with recognized national and defence institutes.
