Re: [udig-devel] styling by attribute (again)

I wanted to use udig to look at some tiger data.
Tiger has a bunch of line work ("complete chains"), each with a cfcc
(telling you it a hwy, road, shoreline, statistical boundary, etc...).
I wanted to view this in udig, but (1) I cannot style by attribute or
(2) limit the data being displayed.
I made a set of different shapefile for each major category (road, rail,
hydro), but that wasnt enough detail. I didnt want to make a shapefile
(by hand) for each of the 100s of categories, and then add them (one at
a time), then style each one differently.
I know I've been harping on this every since january or february, but
this is basic stuff!
We have tried to book some time for a theme based SLD editor for uDig
1.0, would DnD of your own SLD document work in the short term?
ps. is there any way you can add a filter to a datasource?
Not to my knowledge (I thought that was what you 'virtual' feature
source was supposed to do for me?). There is the ability to do
selections with a filter (but I find the geotools notation for writing
one by hand opque). I would like to do a parser for the "query" notation
put forth in the most recent Catalog 2.0 specification (they provide a
BNF that looks a lot like SQL).
