Hi Chris,
Just a quick question to anyone that has tried to do this, or for those of you that could offer any help.

I am writing an application that adds a layer to the LayerViewPanel and automatically assigns a custom symbol. This is working fine, however because the LayerTreePanel has no legend, the user cannot interpret the layer's symbol. I have played around with the CADPLAN vertex plug-in, (it is very good) but this only adds symbols to the LayerViewPanel not the LayerTreePanel (as far as I am aware)?

*Question.*
Is there a way to add an image or customise the LayerTreePanel in order to replace the standard coloured box with a small graphic symbol? This way the LayerTreePanel will act as a legend and accurately display the correct symbol for the layer - I have attached an example screen shot of what I am trying to achieve.

Any suggestions would be really appreciated.
LayerTreePanel is quite complex. I've never tried to achieve what you want to do, but I had hard time to fix some bugs.

Just want to let you know that ColorTheming interacts with LayerTreePanel in a way which might interest you.

Also, I'm concerned with the compatibility of OpenJUMP "model" which accepts any type of geometry in a layer, and what you want to achieve. If the user has only points in a layer and you want to display the point symbol, what will happen if the user decide to add a polygon to the layer ? Do you want to display point symbols only if basic symbols like fill area and linestrokes are disabled ?

Last thing : as far as symbology is concerned, I think kosmo team did a good job, and there may be some interesting things to share with them.

Michaël


Thanks in advance,

Chris.
