Fred, Jody, Let's keep this thread on the dev list for the moment rather than moving it to the user list. Your use case sounds very much like the linked viewers mechanism that I used to use in Erdas Imagine (in a previous lifetime). From memory (this was many moons ago) the overview pane always displayed the full data extent with a rectangle superimposed to show the bounds of the linked primary viewer. Zooming or panning could be done in the primary viewer or by dragging / resizing the rectangle in the linked viewer. Ah - there is this long neglected Jira issue for just this feature: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-3106 If you have to do implement this, or something like it, for gt-swt I would really like to also get it working in gt-swing by building it around shared interface(s) and, if appropriate, putting common functionality into MapViewport or a sub-class of it (gt-render module). However, if you have a very tight deadline then the gt-swing and gt-render components could be extracted later from an initial swt-only solution. I'm copying this to Andrea Antonello who is the GeoTools swt-meister.
