I am writing a pluging for a proprietary file format containing different feature types. In that file format, the features are sorted according to drawing order (background to foreground).
I would like to work with the BasicFeatureRenderer and a Theme Style to draw the features in type-dependent colors in the right order. I would like to AVOID creating a separate layer for each feature type. This used to work in JUMP, but I'm not sure whether uDig's design supports this approach. Does a themed style iterate over the features and then determine the style per feature, or does it first filter for all features matching a given attribute value and then draw all corresponding features, which effectively rearranges the sorting order of the feature collection? In the second case, I would need to make sure that the Renderer selects the attributes in the correct order...
