1 - Download the version from the main page that is also for Win and Linux

2 - Check for Java or if it needs to be installed

  • Java is installed if you find in >Applications>Utilities> a Java Preferences app. If you don't have Java installed you can get if from Apple Support Page, e.g.: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1515

3 - Install and Start OpenJUMP HoRAE

  • unzip/uncompress it by double click on the downloaded file
  • go into the created folder "openjump_horae" (in my case created on the desktop) and further into the /bin/ directory
  • then start it by clicking on OpenJUMP.app file

loading may actually take a while...

4 - Testing

  • go to menu File>Open File... browse to where the OpenJUMP folder was generated during "uncompress" and further to the "testdata" folder. Select the file "gb_tracking_sampledata.jml"
  • you can get a Kernel density raster for this dataset using from the main menu MOVEAN>HRE>Point KD> Point Kernel Density
  • in the new dialog you will see that h_ref for the dataset is calculated with 4027.7m. Hence, in the "Distance (h,..)" field set "4000".
  • set the "Cell Size" to "200" (i.e. 200m)
  • press "ok"
  • select/click on the newly generated raster layer (in the layer tree)
  • now chose from the menu MOVEAN>HRE>Create Probablity Contours from Raster
  • for the 95% contour simply click "ok" - and a new layer with the 95% Home Range Polygon is return
  • You can save the home range polygon(s) by "ctrl" & mouse click on the layer name and choosing "Save Dataset As...". Select a location (e.g. the desktop) and the file format (jml or ESRI shp), and type the file name or keep the default name given (= Layer name). However, you should remove the "." of "0.95" in the file name to avoid problems later when trying to load the file(s). Click "ok".

Let me (Stefan:sstein=at=geo.uzh.ch) know if things don't work. So I can try and fix it. Btw. in the example above you did load points stored in a "jml" file. But points stored in *.shp (shapefile format) will work too. JML is just a simpler (GML) format of OpenJUMP.

Important Keys

  • Apple-Key & mouse click on layer : opens the layer context menu
  • Apple-Key & Shift & mouse click on object in the map - or table field : opens item context menu (e.g. to delete or modify items)
  • Alt & Shift : to activate map panning modus
