Hi Albert, We are planning to add some functionality that may be interesting to you. http://udig.refractions.net/confluence/display/UDIG/Extension+point+for+info+tool The RFC page is just a place holder at the moment but we will be filling it out with some content soon.
Basically we will be adding an extension point that allows you to associate additional information with a layer and or feature. Like jody said, as part of this Change Request we may be able to refactor the info tool to use a command that you can reuse. Ill keep you informed on the RFC so you can review when we have some actual information in there. -- Levi Putna www.ozblog.com.au On Wednesday, 7 December 2011 at 10:27 AM, Jody Garnett wrote: > Okay I think the correct thing to do would be a small refactor; if we take > the heart of the info tool out into an "InfoCommand" you can call the > InfoCommand. > > The InfoCommand would then pass the location over to the InfoView and let it > do its thing. > > Would you like to open an issue in the issue tracker for this.
