[Geotools-gt2-users] Placing callouts on a map

[Mark P. <ma...@in...>]

Hi all,

I'm not quiet sure where to start with this, so any advice is
welcomed... I'd like to be able to place callouts onto a rendered map
(as an image) e.g. so I can specify a location of interest, then place a
box of text, etc on the map with a line linking to the point.

I could do it manually, by generating an image for my callout and
rendering that as an external graphic, etc but just seems there should
be some cleaner way to achieve it.

Thanks for any help!

Mark
