[udig-users] Re: How do you get an image file into uDig
|
You miss understand me; I am sharing an idea - not implemented at all.
And asking if:
a) do I understand your problem
b) would the proposed idea help hinder or actually fix
What are your thoughts,
Jody

Hey Jody!
Thanks for getting back to me. I think the error message was
the result of an unstable uDig version. I downloaded an
earlier one and didn't have any problems.
That is good information - which version did you have a problem
with? We recently tried adding "charset" support to shapefiles
(for working with some Korean datasets) - it is very important to
me to know if that is causing any problems or not.
In ArcView (from what I remember), there is a common ID column
between the .xls files and the .dbf for the shapefile. You
make the links and that's it. I might be a little off - my
ArcView is rusty! But, I just remember dropping them in. I
will have to look in some old texts...
The "Reshape" operation is very good at manipulating data in uDig
(it is covered in the walkthrough 2 a little bit; and also in the
online help). We may be able to make a function that reads in a
excel file; and allows you to look up values based on a common ID.
So I would end up with something like (where THE_GEOM, NAME and
COUNTRY_CODE are attributes in the shapefile; and the data.csv has
CODE and POPULATION columns):
THE_GEOM=THE_GEOM
NAME=NAME
COUNTRY_CODE=COUNTRY_CODE
POPULATION=join( COUNTRY_CODE, "C:\data\data.csv", "CODE",
"POPULATION", );
Something to think about;
