Re: [udig-users] shape file representation

right now I think you would need a step for getting the shown result.

That is what I would do:
- create a layer of the baricenters of the polygons (we will use a
points layer) -> reshape operation, see:
http://udig.refractions.net/confluence/display/EN/Constraint+Query+Language
for the functions you can use
- in the same operation I also would create a new field that
normalizes the population value (you will use that as field that
defines the size of the point)

So the reshape operation would look like:

the_geom=baricenter(the_geom)
size=population/maxvalue

That will create you a new layer that will then produce the style you want.

Jody is working a lot on reshape and filters these days, so it might
already be easier.

Cheers,
Andrea
