RE: [udig-users] Some uDIG use issues
|
Thanks Jody,
Problem solvered, user flakyness !
1. RC11 was installed, so I upgraded to RC14
2. Operator error (thanks for the simple instructions)
(Dumbing it down really helps)
Editing works like a charm, as expected.
Thanks for showing me where Axios is, I'll install and test.
I'll refer to the Community Pages and RTFM in the future ;-)
Ta.
Shaun

No; it is more that the existing tools let you do more things; as an
example you can add new points around the edge of a polygon when
editing, just click on the edge and a point will be created (no need to
switch to the "Add Vertex" tool). I know you can select multiple
polygons that overlap; something like holding down a key while clicking
in the same location ...
I quite obviously have not documented this sort of thing (as I was not
interested until uDig 1.1.0 went out).
Okay; tunning on "advanced tools" and restarting udig lets me add
additional polygons.
1. create a polygon like normal (using the create polygon tools which is
selected in the attached screen snap)
2. hold down SHIFT to create additional polygons
3. use the hole tool in any of the created polygons

thing for Burn Proposals (Planned Burns) where the users add a number of
polygon as one shape (ie. A multipolygon) record.

I can send you an example of the data if that would help (it's a very
wide shapefile with 200 columns or so).
No need to send me the data; I have examples (and GeoServer) locally.
Note that the WMS / WFS solution only make sense when there is a good
internet connection ;-)

I went thru the old walkthrough 2 (dated Nov 2006) and have had a flick
thru the Jan 2008 one (ie I haven't done it tho). I can't see a
reference to adding a multipart shape (except via a copy/paste from the
Tassie example).

You are correct; walkthrough 2 only covers some basics.

The instructions are in the online help last I checked .. here is the
community page:

SWT (ie standard widget toolkit); yes this would be my recommendation

All the best,
