Ede made some very good (and correct) comments.
However, there is no legal way to improve or add functions to OpenJUMP
(as soon as they use whatever OJ functionality - i.e. even the plugin
mechanism) without giving back the improvements, i.e. the sources.
The only kind-of-legal way is to let thi
hi all,
I am conscious this is an old discussion:
What is the difference between item and feature? Which one of them is
synonimous of object?
I also ask to non-english speakers to write down the terminology in their
languages (basically Latine language like Spanish, French, Portuguese). Givin
well.. from my perspective there is not really a difference.
But: the term Feature is used in GIS terminology for Geographic Objects
on the one hand. On the other hand, Feature is used also in terms of
"property" in everyday English (and in particular in computer science) -
i.e. it does not refe
Hi Peppe,
I guess you are referring to things like "Copy items" and "Paste Items."
Items, in this case is simply a more vague term for features. It was
probably chosen because it occurs in other applications, and is therefor a
familiar user interface. The less specific terms would be useful if
I will start work on squishing the bug that has to do with "phantom"
feature selections produced by the spatial query functionality in
OpenJUMP.
Can anyone tell me if the spatial query functionality is part of the
core program, or part of a plug-in? That will help me track down the
source code so
Acutally, I beleive there is a difference between the two (2) terms,
and a specific reason for using one and not the other in OpenJUMP.
Martin Davis or Jon Aquino could confirm what I am about to say.
An "item" can refer to a feature that is part of a composite Feature
or FeatureCollection. (A Fea

Hi,
I think Sunburned Surveyor is correct.
"Item" refers to the way SelectionManager works (see the second and
third button of the edition toolbox).
Selection manager can select the whole geometry of a feature, or only a
part of this geometry, or only a ring in a polygon in a multipolygon...

Hi,
I understood feature vs. item in the same way than others here when translating
OJ into Finnish for the first time. Mostly by trying the tools and looking
what they did when selecting eithere features or items. Problem is that I
couldn't find good translation to "item". What in the way su
Thanks for the help Stefan. I hope to start work on this bug next
week. I may need to check on the desired behavior of the plug-in again
after I have looked at the code.

I meant to say "check with you on the desired behavior of the plug-in"...

I think "element" is the next closest word in English to the word
"item" as we are using it in this context. You could use "thing", but
I agree that isn't very professional.
Perhaps some of our other native English speakers could comment.
