I didn't know that OpenJUMP had a WKTFillPattern class. Thanks for
pointing that out.

How are you adding the new renderer you implemented? Did you do this
entirely through your plug-in, or did you need to modify the core?

I'm not sure what index number you are refering to. I think I need to
take your plug-in for a spin first.

You might be a little over my head here. :] It sounds like the copyTo
method of the RenderingManager class is throwing an error because of a
getBounds method. I'm not familiar with this method or why it is being
called, but it looks like Larry knows what you are talking about.
Are the external renderer and LayerPrinter2 classes your creations?

Dear SS and Developers
I used the existing WKTFillPattern class for the WKT petterns, all I had
to do was to load the WKT spec from the designated folder. For the
image patterns, I found I had to implement a new renderer as the
built-in class ImageFillPattern seems to require the IconLoader class to
load the images (and I haven't figured out how to change the path for
the image files away from the package location to the plugins folder so

There are still a couple of problems, however:
1. When the new patterns appear in the Fill Patterns combo of the
ChangeStyles dialog, they get a 0 index number. As far as I can
tell these index numbers are hard coded by the built-in list of
patterns. This does not appear to case further problems.
2. In my PrinterPlugin, the "Quality" rendering option sometimes
fails as shown below. This option uses the
RenderingManager.copyTo() to copy the image to the current
graphics context (to be use for printing). This rendering option
also produces getBounds() (No yet implemented) errors from
PolygonShape(). The "Accurate" option uses the LayerPrinter2()
class that creates a new LayerViewPanel does not have this
problem, also the external renderer is fine.
