Re: [Geotools-gt2-users] Simple map with points

[Sami D. <sk...@fr...>]

Hi,

thanks for your answer,

I've looked at uDig, but I need to use GeoTools inside my application, no=
t as a
viewer.
I need to dynamically map points depending on my application's logic...

I looked at the tutorials and demos. So far :
- I get a basic window, that loads an ESRI Shapefile.
The ESRI Shapefile is bundled with a .prj, so I believe that I can now dr=
aw
latitudes / longitudes on top of it.

Can anyone provide me a pointer for how to do this ?
thanks,
Sami Dalouche
