GPI Plug-ins »
Automatic updates »
Download and install this GPI plug-in into the ShapeUp Plugins sub-directory to get notified if a new version of ShapeUp is available for download. On ShapeUp start-up, the plug-in will try to connect to this site, and check if there has been a new release. This can be turned on or off in its settings dialog.

This plug-in requires ShapeUp 1.2.03 or later.
ODBC query »
This GPI plug-in supports loading data from a database, using an ODBC connection or a connection string. It is accessible from the Insert | Add Theme From | ODBC Query... menu item.
When invoked, a wizard is shown requiring three steps to be taken.
- Specify a connection.
- Define an SQL query.
- Select columns in the result set to be used as coordinates.
This plug-in is also JavaScript enabled. Using the following code to load a layer:
var odbcGUID = '{18999d7c-b47c-41b0-862f-15a3a6e138eb}'; var odbc = new Plugin(odbcGUID); var layer = odbc.loadLayer( 'DSN=DB;UID=usr;Trusted_Connection=Yes', 'Select XCoord, YCoord, Name From Nodes', 0, 1);
The JavaScript call requires a connection string, the query itself, and the zero-based indecies of east and north coordinate columns.
This plug-in requires ShapeUp 1.3.02 or later.
This plug-in is also available as source code.
RIK format »
This is a GPI plug-in for the RIK format. Extract the plugin, gpirik.gpi, to <ShapeUp>/Plugins directory. ShapeUp is then extended with RIK support in the following ways:
- The file dialog Insert|Add Theme gets a RIK file extension filter.
- ShapeUp gets RIK file Drag&Drop support.
- The Tools menu gets a RIK Converter item, with which it's possible to convert RIK files to other file formats, such as gif, png or tiff, along with world files (*.twf). The RIK Converter tool also supports chopping large files into a grid of smaller ones.
If the RIK file is too large, you'll get an error message. Use the RIK Converter tool to create smaller portions of the file.
This plug-in requires ShapeUp 1.2.01 or later.
Vector Data Optimizer »
This is a GPI plug-in to be used to reduce the number of breakpoints in a polyline or polygon by simplification. A tolerable deviation from an imagined center line is specified to configure the maximum distortion allowed. This plug-in extends the Tools menu with a 'Vector Data Optimizer...' item, which will be enabled when polyline and/or polygon layers are selected. The Vector Data Optimizer will create a new layer for the resulting shapes, leaving the original data intact.
Extract the plugin, gpivectordataoptimizer.gpi, to <ShapeUp>/Plugins directory.
This plug-in is also JavaScript enabled to allow batch jobs:
var vdoGUID = '{0C637DF9-9ACF-4D95-BF50-DD1739D7B438}'; var optimizer = new Plugin(vdoGUID); optimizer.maxDeviation = 2.0; var theme = workspace.getTheme(0); optimizer.optimize(theme);
Error checking omitted.
This plug-in requires ShapeUp 1.2.01 or later.
