Hi David, I think the problem on my side was simply lack of experience with SLD's. Since FOSS4G I've not spent any time on SLD's either, but instead on some updates to the OSM data model. However, I'm very keen to get the SLD work moving again, so right now I'm trying to turn your test code into a unit test in neo4j-spatial so I can start playing with it, and then integrate it with some code I got from Jesse for embedding the SLD in a uDig datastore so when we connect uDig to OSM in Neo4j it automatically gets great rendering :-)
One question for you: the code has new dependencies for org.geotools.map and org.geotools.render. Where can I find these? A quick google search said org.geotools.map was found in gt-build, but that does not seem to exist. I'll look a little further, but if you have a quick answer, that would be great. And you last point about performance and style composition are very important. I'm assuming that the more advanced the styling we apply the slower the rendering, so I've pretty sure I'm going to be getting into deep water there and will certainly benefit from the advice of a real expert in SLD's. Of course, my plan has been to start by using the mapnik2geotools generated SLD's as a starting point, since I'm sure you did a great job with that :-) Regards, Craig On Thu, Oct 7, 2010 at 4:03 AM, David Winslow <cdwins...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all, > > My name's David Winslow and I talked to Craig Taverner a few weeks ago at > FOSS4G about Neo4j-spatial.
