[no subject]

To make it objective, what Im trying to do is :
1) create a map
2) create a layer in that map
3) add features with certain attributes
4) show/display the layer with all the added features
5) change the attributes of the features and see it reflected on the screen

Does this in-memory layer thing helps me with this? :)

Thanks, cya,
-Pedro
