Hi Michaël, Yes, the idea of a per feature style occurred to me too, but for what I needed it was a bit like shooting an bird with an elephant gun. There is also the problem of fitting the style (xml?) information into a 255 character DBF field. I had some hope that the R_G_B as hex field was such a simple idea that (like shapfiles) it might "catch on."
Exporting layers to a format that includes style information can be very complicated to implement on JUMP. SkyJUMP supports the export of a CAD-like format called CGDEF which does. Every time I add a new style like direct color, it breaks my export. What we need is an interface similar to batik printing that does call-back for all of the render hooks. I have worked on this concept, but am stuck on the problem of getting the geometry without it being transformed. Perhaps a viable approach would be to implement a Style.paintToNull method that would simply return style state information. I will be glad to port over direct color, but be warned that it will break some print routines and style exports, in the sense that they will ignore the direct color if they implement their own renderers. The copy and paste Schema is a different matter. It should port right over without problems. regards, Larry On 10/4/07, Michaël Michaud <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > I'll need some feedback from the other developers before I port over > > the direct color capability. > > Hi, I tested the direct color plugin and it sounds just fine to me. > ... but if I imagine future developments around a per feature styling, > here are some ideas : it could be possible to modelize more complex > feature styles as a single special 'style' attribute (or an array of > styles).
