Re: [udig-devel] integrating the map viewer as plug-in in own RCPapp

["Silin, Konstantin" <konstantin.silin@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you, Tawan

I am still in the analysis phase - ie reading code as im new both to GIS and uDig. I am not quite sure when I will be able to begin yet as I am not able to reproduce the results im getting at work with winXP at home with Ubuntu 10.4. I am not yet able to add background information shape files under Linux. The import dialog just doesnt recognise the .shp and image files from uDig data as importable. As I only have the Fridays to do the uDIg stuff it could take me a while... So please inform me on your progress and I will gladly contribute.

One thing that should be improved - changing the actions used in the example to commands (where possible)

Regards
Konstantin

The Seagull Tracking (the commercial one) does not show how to link various views (map, layer, catalog, etc.) together (I double checked).  When I added a new map, it does not show up on the layer list and so forth.

No it does not - its goal is to show how to embed a map in your existing RCP application with absolutely no uDig supplied menu / view content to disrupt your otherwise innocent RCP application.

So the place to check would be :
- Application GIS - it watches the workbench on behalf of several of the views; many actions check with ApplicationGIS to see if there is an IMap they can work with
- The Layers view predates ApplicationGIS and performs this work itself - ie supposed to each the workbench and as a workbench part (view or editor) is selected check to see if it's selection can adapt to a IMap; and if so it latches on and offers to help the user control and interact with it. 

If there are problems with this mechanism please suggest a patch/fix and we can make it work.

Correct; and if you have any sample code to commit to that tutorial I am happy to review.
