Java Development Kit (JDK)
Users with Azul JDK on Linux require Lucida fonts for Spatial map rendering. To obtain this font family, download and install the Zulu Commercial Compatibility Kit (ZCCK). Download and install instructions can be found at https://www.azul.com/products/zulu-and-zulu-enterprise/cck-downloads.
Raster Formats
In order to use rasters and grids as a map layer, there must be an associated .TAB file containing georeference information about the image, including the bounds, coordinate system, and registration points.
Spectrum Spatial supports the following raster and grid formats (64-bit only):
Raster Formats
| Format | File Extension |
| ADRG | .gen |
| ASRP | .gen |
| BMP | .bmp, .wbmp |
| CADRG | .gen |
| CIB | various |
| ECW (SDK v5) | .ecw |
| GeoTiff | .geotif |
| GIF | .gif |
| JPEG | .jpg/.jpeg |
| MrSID (SDK v9) Note: Supports MG4 (MrSID Generation 4). See OS specific notes below. |
.sid |
| NITF | .ntf |
| PNG | .png |
| TIFF Note: TIFF files used by the Feature Service and Mapping Service cannot exceed
2GB. |
.tif |
| OS | MrSID Prerequisites |
| CentOS 7.x CentOS 8.x |
libpng12.so is required for reading MrSID raster files. |
| Ubuntu 16.x LTS Ubuntu 18.x LTS Ubuntu 20.x LTS |
libpng12.deb and libjpeg62 are required for reading MrSID raster files. Otherwise, you will see an "Error reading raster file" message when installing runtime libraries using the command:
To install the lib files, as System Administrator:

Utilities
Spectrum Spatial utilities (Tile Generator, WMTS Tile Generator, and the Geometry Validator) require, at a minimum, Java 8.
.NET Samples
The .NET samples require at a minimum Visual Studio 2013 and Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.
MapInfo Professional Compatibility
The Map Uploader provided by Spatial is compatible with MapInfo Professional 16.x or higher. For more information about the interoperability of the two products, see the section titled MapInfo Pro under Getting Started and Tools in the Spectrum Spatial Guide.
