One of the students I met at my Google Summer of Code presentation at UC Davis missed the student application deadline. (This was my fault, as I gave him the wrong deadline date.) To my pleasant surprise, he would still like to work on the project for the summer! He is looking to gain some experience with an open source project and some reference letters from the lead programmers if his work is good.
He is particularly interested in visualizing and rendering of data. I was going to work with him this summer on stand-alone map labels. These would be labels whose content are not drawn from feature attributes. In order to get the student started, I'd like to know what is the best way to add a new renderer in the current OpenJUMP core? It has been a while since I worked with the rendering code, and some things might have changed. Can we add renderer's using a plug-in, or are modifications to the core still necessary to do this? If it makes a difference, I plan on storing the label information in a plain Feature object. Thanks for the help. SS P.S. - I getting the student set up with a development environment for OpenJUMP right now. I'll introduce him to the mailing list as soon as he subscribes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: High Quality Requirements in a Collaborative Environment.
