Hi, thanks for your answer,
I've looked at uDig, but I need to use GeoTools inside my application, not as a viewer. I need to dynamically map points depending on my application's logic... I looked at the tutorials and demos. So far : - I get a basic window, that loads an ESRI Shapefile. The ESRI Shapefile is bundled with a .prj, so I believe that I can now draw latitudes / longitudes on top of it. Can anyone provide me a pointer for how to do this ? thanks, Sami Dalouche Quoting Jody Garnett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Sami Dalouche wrote: > > >Hi, > > > >Geotools seems to be a very powerful and fancy Java library :) However, > getting > >started with it does not seem such an easy task.. > >So, I'm posting here in the hope someone will have time to give me some > >guidelines. > > > >Here's what I need to do : > >- Have Geotools display a map (of the world if possible, but I'll revert to > >Canada if it's too hard to find such a map).
