Hi everyone,
I'm new to uDig but not to Eclipse or GIS. I want to build a translator which
will pick attributes and posiitons out of a seismic navigation file and make a
shapefile (multipoint Z, many attributes).
Not too sure what your source data looks like
Is the dataWizards extension point the best place to put this? And where can I
find the source code for the existing wizards, so I can get a handle on what I'm
doing?
Opperation would be the easiest start ... especially if you need to let
the user do the picking? Aka is this a
straight data exchange or do you need user interaction to pick the
points? Not sure what information is in a
seismic navigation file.
You may want to look in the community section, in my folder (ie Jody)
there is an operation that exports
the selected features to a shapefile.
We will need to review the support export support provided by data
wizards, most of the work has focused on
importing up till now.
I have successfully downloaded the latest SDK and built the distanceTool - very
straightforward thanks.
Yeah! I think you are one of the first to find it straight forward -
which indicates we need to provide
more background on eclipse for everyone else ;-)
If I can get this to work I would like to build a more generalized translator
which I'd then submit to the community.
That would be great, as a young open source project we are fairly light
on process and fairly big on trust, so
when you are ready just ask and we can get you svn access so you can set
yourself up in the community folder.
Jody
