Comments based solely on the wiki page and Monday's IRC. I think this proposal is going to add quite a bit of power to the downstream code (e.g. GeoServer). I confess I have trouble understanding what a "Category" is from the picture. Are these types of transforms?
I like that SLD provided a "starter set" of symbolizations which we are now implementing. I like even better that it inspired a framework which--theoretically, at least--could be extended to cover cases SLD did not cover. To help me get my mind around the proposal, could someone briefly outline how the framework on the wiki would be extended to accomodate...say..."contouring"? This would be used to style a temperature coverage to show isotherms; or a pressure coverage to show isobars. Here's another twist: how would the new framework handle an extension for "wind barbs", where each raster cell has an east-west and a north-south component? Even more complex, we don't necessarily want one-symbol-per-gridcell. Maybe we only want one wind barb for every five cells. Just to be clear, I'm not asking anyone to implement these things. I just want to make sure that the framework "leaves room" for them in the hopefully-not-so-distant-future with little to no rewriting of brand new code. :) Bryce ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
