[udig-devel] Rendering and UDIG -- Sanity Check

[jeichar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Now that we (udig) have something of a design for our system.   I want to
request a sanity check.  Does anyone have any thoughts on how we should use the
Lite and j2d renderers.  For example: how big a project do you think it will be
to fit the existing renderers into our design?  The current idea is to modify
them to make a "Renderer Pipeline."   More likely we were going to split them
into a "Feature Rendering Pipeline" and a "GridCoverage Rendering Pipeline."

I agree that j2d is a good renderer but it seems to me that some substantial
changes still need to be made in order to match our requirements.

Keep in mind that one of the most important requirements is to have a clean and
clear distinction between the request, view and data.  That was one of our
focusses when came up with the design on the UDIG wiki:
