Re: [udig-devel] Re: regarding our project
|
Hi, I'll pipe in here as well, my comments are in-line.
We are now after the udig API's, searching for the classes
which will provide us methods
to change currently displayed map and classes which enable us edit
features of a selected
element in current layer.
In uDig there are 2 layers of interfaces. A read-only layer which is
the public API and a read/write API that is intended to be accessed by
using commands only. (This is to encourage the use of Commands so that
undo/redo is supported.) The EditManager is the place to look for the
currently selected layer and feature. The feature editor framework
listens to the EditFeature in the EditManager (map.getEditManager()) and
can be used to edit the edit feature.
There are basically 2 ways to edit features. 1 graphically via the Edit
tools. I have been working for the last few months or re-writing the
edit tools and you can get a preview if you download one of the nightly
builds(http://udig.refractions.net/nightly/uDig/latest/) or the latest
milestone release
(http://udig.refractions.net/confluence/display/UDIG/UDIG+1.1+Unstable).
The other way is using a feature editor. There is a default feature
editor right now but you can write your own custom feature editors by
extending the net.refractions.udig.project.ui.featureEditor extension
point. Feature editors modify the "Edit Feature". The feature is part
of the EditManager.
Hope this helps,
Jesse
