Development
In Flight
These ideas are being actively worked on ...
2.1 |
|
Move from OpenGIS to ISO 19111 |
|
2.1 |
|
exciting development happening in conjunction with GeoAPI |
|
2.1 |
|
A GridCoverageReader plugin for GeoTIFF files |
|
2.2 |
Support for interoperable schemas, with complex properties |
||
2.2 |
Use of visitor rather then for loop allows for |
||
2.2 |
more data rendered faster |
Sketches
Developer scratch pad for new and wonderful ideas.
Proposal |
Plans for coverage support, concocted by those who need it. |
|
Proposal |
API for selecting a 2D slice from nD data. |
|
Proposal |
A plan for isolating grid plugins from OGC/GeoAPI/Geotools instability |
|
Proposal |
allow random access to feature content (based on indexes) |

Idea |
Build a unified map, map layer, data access and (general) rendering concept based on existing concepts in GeoTools, GeoAPI and uDig. |
Finished
We do occasinally finish development
- Module Merge
- New geotools homepage
- WFS GML DataStore - Web Feature Server data access
- Bring Back FeatureCollection - it is done!
- Shapefile Index Support - look into use of index files for shapefile, related to Random Data Access
- FeatureTypes for GML - Expanding our Feature model to deal with the full complexity of GML
