Re: [udig-devel] Custom Renderer
|
DXF is a CAD format, so there are a couple of implementation pathways.
One is to pretend it is a simple vector format, and let it be rendered
using the existing infrastructure. But, because it is a CAD format, it
has its own rendering information built right into the file (line
weights, colors, fonts, etc). So a custom renderer could put it onto
the screen verbatim. On the other hand it would then be fiddly to do
nice things like *change* the stylings using the existing
infrastructure (I think).

you should easily be able to use the existing feature renderer without
writing any rendering code. However this would involve writing a
geotools data store. There is documentation on how to do this
available in the geotools data access tutorials available from:
