Welcome to Dinamica EGO 4

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Dinamica EGO 4!

Dinamica EGO 4 is an evolution of version 3 but features many improvements when compared to it including, but not limited to:

• Hundreds of bug fixes! Dinamica version 4 simply works better than version 3. In fact, version 4 is the better version of Dinamica to date.

• It can be installed alongside version 3. This allows you to keep both versions independently on the same computer making the migration processo from version 3 to 4 easier and less stressful.

• The input maps used by a model now can have different resolutions, number of lines/columns, registration coordinates etc. Dinamica is now truly multi-resolution! The only constraint when creating a model is that all maps used by it must share the same projection.

• The R language now can be used to implement parts of a model. Basically, the user can use a custom R script to manipulate data the same way any Dinamica functor would do.

• Dinamica now features a dynamic progress bar showing the overall progress of the model execution. Since the models can be arbitrarily complex, the bar adapts automatically to each situation and tries not to underestimate the time remaining to complete the execution.

• When enough information is provided (functor alias, functor comments etc) Dinamica EGO represents the expressions used by Calculate Map, Calculate Value etc with a name and type icon, instead of using just i1, v1 etc. This particular change makes easier for the user the understand the expression meaning without changing how they are represented internally.

We are still updating the documentation, including the guidebook, to cover features available on the new version of Dinamica EGO. Meanwhile, check some short videos showing how to use some of the features of the new release.
