[udig-users] uDIG : Some questions
|
Hello,
Let
me introduce myself : I'm Jeremie Martinez, a student of a French engineering
school (INSA Rouen). To complete a project given by a
library, we have to spatialize this library in order to be able to
retrieve the books inside and give users their locations. We have made
many researches and it turns out that uDig seems to be the application
which suits the best with our needs and our skills. I tried to have a
conversation with an administrator on your IRC server but with no
success. So, I hope we could exchange some mails in order to have
information about how adapt uDig to our problem.
I
would like now to present what we plan to develop in order to have your
opinion and maybe some advices in order to start this project in the right way. Indeed, to succeed in this project, we have to modify
the uDig application and add some plugins to suits better the need of a
Library.
The first thing is to constrain the user to add only form well-defined by us like an rectangle with a fixed size. So instead of being able to draw a polygon, we would like to constrain the user to draw only rectangle of a fixed size.
Another
thing is to be able to visualize further information that it contains
in our PostGIS/PostgreSQL through a WFS/WMS Server (actually GeoServer
is our first choice). Indeed, we have added in our tables some columns
which are not spatial but that we would like to visualize in the form of
a table.
These two new functionalities have to be in separate views (like we can see in the RCP System of Eclipse).
As
I wrote it before, we would appreciate some help. Indeed, your uDig
application is pretty consequent and save some time would be
appreciated. So, my main question is how should we start? Any advice would be very appreciated.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks in advance for any help.
NB : The application we will develop will continue to be open-source. Indeed, our customer required it and it's also important for us.
