# QGama

```GNU Gama``` is a project dedicated to adjustment of geodetic networks.
It is intended for use with traditional geodetic surveying which are
still used and needed in special measurements (e.g., underground
or high precision engineering measurements). ```QGama``` is a Qt based user
interface for GNU Gama adjustment of geodetic networks in which XML
input is complemented with a database. The most simple case is Sqlite3
file database, which does not need any special knowledge from the user.

The distribution package QGama comes also with several command line programs
stored in the subdirectory ```bin```. QGama is not dependent on these programs,
which on the other hand must be run from a terminal (for example Gnome terminal
in GNU/Linux or PowerShell in Windows).

Selected input data example files are available from sudbirectory
```examples```.

## GNU Gama command line programs

### gama-local

The main program of the GNU Gama project, solves adjustment of
local geodetic network with input in XML. Run ```gama-local --help```
to see description of its options.
