Hi, I wrote a short document about the OpenJUMP Image Layer Manager tool. I have a feeling that it is not much used so I took a bunch of screen captures for showing what is does and how it is used. In the end of the document there are a few suggestions for making this fine tool better. In few words I recommend to rename the tool to something that describes the tool better, like Image Index Manager, and to make it possible to save and open OJ image index files more conveniently than now.
http://latuviitta.org/documents/OpenJUMP_image_layer_tool.pdf I have a slight feeling that OpenJUMP could sometimes benefit also from analogous vector file index system. For example, we have a dataset that contains thousands of shapefiles, each one covering a 10 by 10 kilometer rectangle. With a vector index file and properly set layer scale limits OpenJUMP might be able to handle the whole dataset as a one seamless layer even it is a few gigabytes all together. I guess it would be much easier to make it work as read-only than to make is support also editing. -Jukka Rahkonen- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ Jump-pilot-devel mailing list Jump-pilot-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jump-pilot-devel
