Re: [JPP-Devel] Layer Properties
I actually would prefer to have switched icon in the layer menu (maybe for both editing and selecting). Because i am not sure that people recognize the change. but the image use can be defered to a later version > Is there currently a Snappable setting on layers in OJ? Or is this > still just an app-wide editing setting? i think the setting for snapping on/off was application wide.

Re: [JPP-Devel] Layer Properties
Great work! What I like about this list is that you can throw out an idea and like magic it gets implemented 20 minutes later. 8^) But seriously... it's very inspiring interacting with a bunch of clever people all focussed on making JUMP work better. I checked with the uDig guys... DnD is generally a bear, but for data files specifically it might not be too bad. It's very similar to handling the cut-n-paste client stuff, which Jon already did in JUMP for various things (ever tried copying the Feature Info grid into Excel? Works like a charm...) So maybe one day we can look at this...

Re: [JPP-Devel] Layer Properties
I guess if I got used to decoding those tiny symbols on the icons in Eclipse, I can do it in JUMP too. :-} Yea, we already enhanced the layer tooltips to show the full source path, so adding the essential data on as additional lines should be doable too. I added mouse wheel zooming to the PanTool, as it seemed like a no-brainer. That's what I like about this list, you put out an idea and get feedback to make it better .

Re: [JPP-Devel] Layer Properties
Good idea. So italics would mean NOT Selectable, right? I think Stefan's right - ultimately an icon change would be good too (or maybe a second icon showing the states). But the font change is good and quick to do now. Hey, I just thought of something which might be handy. In Swing Tooltips it's possible to use HTML code to provide formatting. In particular, this lets multiple lines of data be shown. Seems like the current Layer tooltip info could be dramatically enhanced - maybe even to provide most of the things which are shown in the current Layer Info box!?

Re: [JPP-Devel] Layer Properties
mhm.. usecase: if you have activated a drawing tool (such as polygon drawing) then you can not select at the same time, right? .. so from this point of few, not selectable can/should imply not snappable, because slectable layers are still be snappable. so it could be named a double funtion selectable/snappable thanx for working on it :) stefan Larry Becker schrieb: > I just created a SelectablePlugIn by copying EditablePlugIn and making > a few trivial changes.

Re: [JPP-Devel] Layer Properties
This is the right way to go IMO, Larry/all. We added the Selectable option while building the Image framework, to avoid having image bounding boxes selected all the time. But we never pushed this out to be visible to the user. Time to do it, I guess! Have you thought about how to make this visible on the UI? Maybe by changing the layer icon somehow? It's always nice to have state visible to the user, so that he doesn't get confused about why things don't appear to be working like normal.

Think of where you have a layer of data that is serving as a template or outline for creating features on another layer. Is there currently a Snappable setting on layers in OJ? Or is this still just an app-wide editing setting? Anyway, if Snappable is an option, then I think it should be independent of Selectable. -- Martin Davis Senior Technical Architect Refractions Research, Inc.

Re: [JPP-Devel] Layer Properties
I just created a SelectablePlugIn by copying EditablePlugIn and making a few trivial changes. It seems to work like a charm! Now, do we need Snappable, (Sp?) or should not Selectable imply not Snappable? It doesn't currently.

Re: [JPP-Devel] Layer Properties
Hi Stefan, I just looked at the code and it appears we already have a selectable property in Layer. However, the setSelectable() method is currently only called from ImageFeatureCreator. The isSelectable() method is called in AbstractSelection, so it appears that all we need to do to add a menu item "Selectable" right below "Editable". regards, Larry On 9/17/07, Sunburned Surveyor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'd like to use Layerable, since that will give us more flexibity down the > road. > > SS > > On 9/13/07, Stefan Steiniger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > yep! > > > > i agree, and this reminds me on having the same for features that show > > the most prominent "what i want to know about" .. ie. number of > > vertices, geom-type, inner rings, perimeter, area, centroid coords,.. > > > > furthermore there was the idea to give layers 4 states: > > - editable (selectable, snapping on) > > - hitable (selectable, snapping on) > > - visible (not selectable, snapping on) > > - invisible > > or something like that.

Re: [JPP-Devel] Layer Properties
yep! i agree, and this reminds me on having the same for features that show the most prominent "what i want to know about" .. ie. number of vertices, geom-type, inner rings, perimeter, area, centroid coords,.. furthermore there was the idea to give layers 4 states: - editable (selectable, snapping on) - hitable (selectable, snapping on) - visible (not selectable, snapping on) - invisible or something like that. This is beneficial if one digitizes. where would be the best position to add such a layer attribute.

Re: [JPP-Devel] Layer Properties
Great idea, Larry! Maybe this could even display the *actual* class of the FeatureCollection and Features which form the layer? Or is that too developer-oriented for our tender users?

[JPP-Devel] Layer Properties
A new feature was added last night which adds a menu item "Layer Properties" to the Layer Name right click menu. This feature will display layer information and statistics such as name, number of features, number of points, number of attributes, geometry type, DataSource class, and source path. It works on single or multiple layer selections. It also includes a transparency adjustment slider that works for layer selections. Language file entries have been made. Only the German translation is currently completed. There were 19 strings - I got tired. :-) This is basically the beginnings of duplicating the ArcMap layer properties functionality. However, this property sheet is designed to work with multiple layers at once. SkyJUMP has had this for a while, but I haven't gotten around to a general release yet. regards, Larry Becker -- http://amusingprogrammer.blogspot.com/ - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
