Re: [Geotools-gt2-users] Moving Java Shape Objects above JMapPane or JMapFrame

Hi James,

Thanks for your nice comments.

Contributions are very welcome ! Submitting a patch via Jira is the
easiest way to contribute fixes and extensions. For JMapPane related
things you can also email them to me if you find that easier.

Granting commit access to someone normally requires that they be
involved in the project for a while first. They also have to go
through some legalese to formally transfer copyright.

Back to your app - if you want to animate shapes over the map you will
need to access the map pane's cached image which is presently a
private field with no getter method. I think I prefer the getter
option. I can't add it right now because the trunk code is frozen for
all but bug fixes pending the forthcoming release, but I'll try to get
round to making a patch for JMapPane and the animation demo.

cheers
Michael
