Quick presentation

This module is the integration of project AlterSIG Toolbox.
Every component is cleanup and once ready will move to the "extension/swing-widgets" module.

This module offers several Swing components like :

A tree to manage MapContext
A dialog to quickly open datas
Some property edition panels
A small JMappane control bar
To be honest they are not all fully functionnal but they work.

Help needed !

Many things have to be done before we have a correct swing widget library.
This module is getting really too big for a single developer. there is now
more then 150 classes. Thoses classes spike through the GeoTools other modules
so there is a heavy maintain job to keep everything working.

Here is a list of things to do, but I dont have time to :

Updated/fixed/enrich the property panels
Create a complete SLD editor, for now it's basic style edition. Stefan Krüger should work on this on february 2008. Feel free to contact him if you have any questions, comments, ideas: sld@wikisquare.de .
Improve Map drawing speed, this should be done at the beginning of the year with the Java2DRenderer.
Create a ToolBox/Tool structure (Interfaces and tree widget)
Create widgets for preview/print, this is a hard one that could be a training periode project for a student.
Create a raster referencing widget.
Improve Context Tree to handle subnodes under layer nodes

UseCase/Tutorial

Widget-tools list

Demo

First you need the latest geotools source.
See 2.3 Source Code to have it.

Make a fresh build using maven :

Go it the module folder :
~\modules\unsupported\widgets-swing-pending

Compile the module and start the demo :

Structure

Information

Making graphical user interface is not hard work, but it needs time.
And more important, to make clean widgets you need clean components and layouts.

That's why i also use those libraries :

Swingx, great new swing components : http://swinglabs.org
Swing-Layout, a layout used by NetBeans Matisse : https://swing-layout.dev.java.net
Crystal project, a full pack of icons : http://www.everaldo.com/crystal
