Hi,
Thanks for the response.
I'm looking for something similiar to the ability that Excel 2000 has with
the Data Map component (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=147637), which
enables displaying data on geographic vector maps.
I don't care what is the vector format, as long as it standard GIS industry
format.
Can you point me to an example of how to use the Graphic2D with maps.
Thanks,
Avi.

Hi,
Is there a way to integrate geographic vector map inside a PDF document?
You could draw maps in PDF using iText.
What I need is a utility that can read a vector map file format,
What format? SVG, DXF,...?
For the moment iText isn't able to read these formats, but you could use an
existing parser that writes to a Java Graphics2D object. iText understands
Graphics2D methods and translates them to PDF operators and operands. Or
you could use iText methods to add these operators and operands directly.
and I will be able to assign to it some display values (e.g. set the color
of each state based on sales value).
iText can draw lines and shapes in any color you want to, but remark that
PDF isn't a programming language. I'm not sure what you expect. I worked in
G.I.S. over 7 years ago and in MapInfo we attributed colors to ranges of
values. If that's what you want, that's how you'll have to program it in
Java.
Currently I am writing a book on iText and I have some raw geographical
data of a fictional city. I still haven't decided how I am going to store
this data for the book (I am thinking of SVG; in that case, I'll have to
write a small SVG parser to have a self contained example).

Bruno
