Well, this is basically what your demo is doing :) > Would it be really harry to integrate the AcetateLayer as an option into a > mapContext? I don't think so. MapContext isn't a GUI component - it resides in the data universe. Extending JMapPane is the appropriate way to do it. > Is option 3) above my only realistic solution for getting graphics into a > specific Layer that can be displayed/manipulated? You mean turning graphics into features and displaying the feature collection ? That's probably not the best approach for an 'Acetate Layer' because, once again, you want to keep the data and display domains clearly separated. > I'm willing to do the work to integrate an AcetateLayer option and post to > the forum. I just need your expert direction to get 'er done :-) > If you're feeling brave (braver than me :) you might like to delve into the bowels of the widget-swing-pending module which had the concept of map decorations similar to an acetate layer. I say brave because the code is undocumented and not terrible easy to follow. However, it may be that parts could be lifted or adapted to implement an acetate layer for the swing module.
