I finally have been able to get back to learning GeoTools. I have actually been able to get ShapeLab to work using the JMapPane that comes in the Unsupported part of the source.
My company has a mapping application written over 20 years ago that urgently needs to be replaced. I am hoping to do this in Java using GeoTools. Once I got ShapeLab working I used it to open one of the shape files we are using with our C application. It took over a minute for ShapeLab/JMapPane to generate the map. Using our application it renders so quickly it's difficult to time. I need to have a better start. I am trying to learn by example. Obviously JMapPane is not the place for me to start learning GeoTools. Can someone suggest some sample code that I can study that will lead me in the right direction? I am using v2.5.5 of GeoTools. My application will be taking input from a GPS unit in an airborne vehicle and displaying that position on the map. The map needs to be responsive enough to be able to show the current position as it moves and even show the map moving if necessary. Since the contents of the map is fixed, as is the various zoom levels, would it be possible to improve performance by pre-building the maps and storing them on the hard drive instead of rendering them in real-time? That's just a thought I had as I have started looking into GeoTools.
