Hi Tevor,

The User Guide is a work in progress and most of what is there is
thanks to Jody.  Docs and tutorials are always harder to write than
code, plus it's usually a labour of love so you have to make
allowances for that :)

I think that the best page to look at is:
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTDOC/09+ShapeLab

The code for this page can be found here:
http://svn.geotools.org/trunk/demo/example/src/main/java/org/geotools/demo/ShapeLab.java

It uses the StreamingRenderer class which is current.  There are a few
deprecated method class in the example methods that set drawing
styles, but the code compiles and runs and is a good way to get
started.

Hope this helps
Michael
