I started work on support for "free form" or stand-alone text labels in OpenJUMP over my lunch break today. This will be packages as a plug-in that allows me to test the pluggable rendering system I just finished, as well as the plug-in dependency system I was working a couple of months ago.
The stand-alone text labels will allow the user to place text independently of any feature attributes at any location in "model space". They will be able to specify the font, anchor point location, and justification. I wanted to post briefly about this in case someone was working on somethign similar. The labels will be stored in a new implementation of the Layerable interface and will be stored to disk in a text format, probably some type of XML. If I don't run into any major problems I should have the plug-in ready for a try in two (2) to (3) weeks. The Sunburned Surveyor We had talked before about a creating a "standard" way to export Layerables to SVG. I would like to support this with my stand-alone text labels. If there is still interest in collaborating on this design, please let me know. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
