Hi, I agree totally with Larry. OpenJump is already a very productive editing tool. Connecting routines which are used hundreds of times per day to menu shortcut or toolbar button does not only speed up the work but it also cuts down the number of errors, and perhaps most important, it makes the work much less irritating. And it seems to be that a very useful features can be added by writing a lines of scripting code. I think that we should have a script library somewhere in OpenJump wiki. As an example I must create some screen captures about how to use a fine script made by Larry for assisting in generating Web Coverage Service requests. I also notised a Jython script for measuring distance between two selected features from GvSIG mailing list. Perhaps it could be modified to work with OpenJump as well because the real work is done by JTS. Link to this sript is here:
