Hi! Some WMS servers are able to deliver there results in SVG. This does have some advantages for some kind of data. Vector layer may be transported in a more compact form, there is no rasterization on the server so higher quality data can be send to the client.
OpenJUMP only fetches WMS results as raster images (namely JPEG, PNG and GIF). But OpenJUMP comes with the Batik library, which is a very powerful SVG engine. So why not combine WMS and Batik? In the last day I worked on a the WMS Layer support of OJ and gained some insights how it works. On the other hand I did the Print/Layout plug-in on top of Batik, so I know this library very well, too. Now I've spended two hours of my free time and sticked the two things together and it works! *Tadaa!* :-) Before I go further ... is there someone who maybe is interested in SVG/WMS support in OpenJUMP? Should I contribute it to the core? - Sascha ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
