Dear GT community,
This is a long message to explain the OrbisGIS roadmap for the next 8
months.
OrbisGIS is using for many years Geotools and especially H2GIS DB with
GeoServer or ImageIO-ext to support raster data.
Today the OrbiGIS team wants to get closer to the Geotools community by
contributing to fix bugs, propose new features, doing tests, use cases…
So we want to share with the community the developments we have planned.
Any comments, remarks are welcome.
*Graphical user interface*
- develop a map viewer component for DBeaver (as Udig does on top of
Eclipse RCP). We plan to use GT to renderer geospatial data from DBeaver
drivers and integrates some OrbisGIS UI previously developed to build
thematic maps. (see
https://orbisgis.readthedocs.io/en/latest/users/cartography.html)
Note : Once the map viewer is implemented we would like to integrate the
map composer
https://github.com/orbisgis/orbisgis-official-plugins/tree/master/mapComposer
*H2GIS*
- Improve the H2GIS geotools driver to be compliant with the GT unit
tests. This work is in progress :
https://github.com/orbisgis/h2gis-geotools/pull/39. A next step will be
to propose it as a module for GT.
- Complete the integration of the raster datatype in H2/H2GIS based on
ImageIO-Ext and JAI-EXT (see
https://github.com/h2database/h2database/pull/945).
*Symbology/ Styling/ Map/ Standard*
- Extend some graphical elements in the GT style model to support :
DoMapFill, DensityFill, HatchedFill, *WobbleStroke...*
We want to port some code from https://github.com/orbisgis/orbismap and
test if geocss could match all the cartographic needs and could be a
candidate as OGC spec in line with SymCore
(https://docs.ogc.org/is/18-067r3/18-067r3.html).
- Add some utilities to GT to build map decorations (north, scale,
legend (with complex expressions)).
and voila.
There is a bit of work to do for the next 8 months and we would be
delighted if it could serve the GeoTools community.
Best regards
Erwan
