Jesse,

If you want all line patterns why not just call=20
    public LineStyle[] getSupportedLineStyles();

  still need to discuss the use of OrientationSources, as not everyone =
is satisfied with the new usage.=20
  need to discuss the possibility of overloading some primitive methods =
with LatLonAlt instead of just=20
  CoordinateSource to save time and pain within the primitive methods.=20

  tasks now assigned to me:=20

  62718:  copy Style.implHints=20
      (i assume this just needs to be noted in the setPropertiesFrom =
method?  this is actually gonna be a pain,=20
       because we don't have any way to get the implHint keys.  we could =
just say that in java the implHints must=20
       be a Map, and then we could getImplHints and copy the Map into =
our new one)=20

  62769:  unit params missing=20
      i'll keep looking.  i noticed that GeoIcon's setRotation was wrong =
(not yet taking an OrientationSource)=20
      but most of the rest looked good.=20

  60937:  resolve consume on GeobjectEvent.=20
      why don't we just make concrete Event classes?  is there anything =
to be gained by leaving them as interfaces?=20

  67308:  combine the EnumerationTypes.=20
      have the code working on my machine, just need to check it in.  =
BUT, while digging through the ETs and extending=20
      classes, it seemed to me that we could still offer a =
'getPatternByValue' or 'getStyleByValue' even though we have=20
      things like DashPattern extending LinePattern.  we REALLY need =
this capability, even if it won't necessarily jive=20
      between the times we run a GeobjectImpl.  for example, maybe i =
create three LinePatterns.  the code i worked on=20
      will put the new LinePatterns in the array of all LinePatterns, =
LinePattern then has a static getArray() method (which=20
      should return a clone for safety) and a static =
getPatternByValue(int) method.  however, the next time i run, maybe=20
      i don't create the three LinePatterns, and so requesting one of =
them by value could fail or return a different pattern=20
      altogether.  but at least within one running of a JVM i could get =
ahold of all LinePatterns.  let me know if you want=20
      to see the code before i check it in.=20

  add get/setLabelColor to Style=20
      and thoroughly document everything.  my intention is to doc as =
follows:  labelColor is the color for a Geobject's label=20
      (which is specified within its Style object).  foreground is for =
foreground colors (line colors, icon colors, GeoLabel's text=20
      color), background is for background colors (fills, essentially).=20
      this will create a difference from the Jm text object thingy, but =
if i recall correctly, this behaviour was okay with those of=20
      us that bothered to come to last week's meeting...=20

  document that Canvases should accept other Impls' Geobjects.=20
      (a documentation task, should outline possible implementation)=20

  add Map2DCanvasCapabilities (should also have GeoCanvasCapabilities =
then, too, separate from GeobjectCapabilities?)=20
      the Map2D version will add the getSupportedProjections() method.=20
   =20

  remaining questions:=20
      what does 'add the URL methods to GeoIcon and GeoScaledImage' =
mean?=20
   =20

  that's about all i've got from the mediocre notes i took.  anyone =
recall anything i missed?=20
   =20

  jdc=20

     Dale, Jesse,Can you send me the decisions made yesterday and any =
actions assigned?  Are we going to make the concrete LatLonAlt and other =
coord classes "new"able?Thanks,Rich -- Rich Kadel=20
