Hi Jody, Moreover i have even worse situation. I need to show balloon tips over that graphic symbols. Problem is that balloon tip components that we have can be placed only over JComponent objects or something that is extended from it. I don't know how to access to those graphic symbols as objects, don't know if that is possible at all. Because of that i considering to dynamically create invisible JComponent objects over hitting area of every symbol and show balloon tips over it. To do that i will need to calculate hitting area considering screen coordinates of graphic center (which i can get from world coordinates that i have always in database) and size of graphic symbol in pixels (i can calculate width and height of symbol from current map scale because size of symbol is specified in SLD depending on scale denominators). However i am worried how this will work on performance and speed. Another approach will be to draw symbols on top of the map, independently from geotools renderer and SLD but that can also produce big problems as i consider that i should have all layers rendered by map. I would like to know what are you think about this and if you have some other ideas how to solve that problem.
Best regards.
