Forgot to comment one suggestion

GetGeometryN and GetPolygonHoleN : how could it be more useful than the "select component" and "select linestring" (second and third select tool of the toolbox) ? GetGeometryN and GetPolygonHoleN are very useful for development purpose, or in a SQL context, but I can't see any use case in a GIS context like OpenJUMP (but I would be happy to discover one ;-).

Hi Michaël,

I have tried most functions which are available in JTS Testbuilder but it feels that there are not many that could be just added into OpenJUMP without making new user interface elements for using them. These three might be possible to add without new UI but I am not sure how useful they are for the users

-TranslateCentreToOrigin

-TranslateToOrigin

-OctagonalEnvelope

These functions feel interesting but they require some programming:

-Scale

-CreateFractalShape feels good for creating complex geometries for testing.

-GetGeometryN and GetPolygonHoleN for editing and removing parts and holes from multigeometries and geometrycollections – should be topped up with UI button GetNext for selecting and panning to the next geometry/hole.

-ExtractLine and ExtractPoint would be nice additions to linear referencing tools. Extract line tool could be improved a bit to accept also start distance for the extracted line (extract between 1 and 5 km) and count distance from the end of the linestring (extract the last km).

I also feel that it could be possible to develop a nice plugin that would utilize the numerous RandomPoints functions. I have not yet discovered an exact use case but perhaps anonymizing statistical data could be one, and splitting polygons into about equal areas by creating RandomPointsInPolygon first and applying Voronoi polygons and merging neighboring polygons in some clever way afterwards. See this for reference http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/171727/polygon-split-with-defined-area.

I think that all these can be rather plans for the future than anything to implement into the next OJ release.

Hi Jukka,

Adding such geometry functions to OpenJUMP is generally not difficult. I have added “Minimum Bounding Circle” along with some others about one year ago, and if you notice some other useful jts functions which are not available in OpenJUMP, I will be pleased to add them.

    Hi,

    There are some cool function in JTS
    https://sourceforge.net/p/jts-topo-suite/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/. I
    guess that some OpenJUMP functions in the geometry functions menu
    are the same JTS functions, like “Minimum Bounding Circle”.

    I wonder how difficult it would be to add some more functions from
    JTS to OpenJUMP. Best way for browsing and testing the available
    functions is to download JTS from
    https://sourceforge.net/projects/jts-topo-suite/files/jts/ and run
    the testbuilder application from the bin directory.

    It seems that there is some unmaintained jts-jump plugin
    https://sourceforge.net/p/jts-topo-suite/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/jts-jump
    but I have no idea about what it was.
