[udig-devel] Custom App Information View

[Geoff Hay]

Hi
I am working on a custom app that uses udig. I would
like to add a view that lists map features and shows
related attribute tables in a 'tree'. I would like to be able to select
related tabels and view their attributes.

What I want is similar to the project view and the information view.


I have built a simple pluggin that shows a sample tree
but I am not sure how to 'hook' into the data that is
loaded from the postGIS database.

The Information Tool is close to what I want but it
displays using a table view rather than a tree.  It
also displays based on what map feature is selected
whereas I would like to select the feature from the
tree and have it selected on the map.

I would like to see a list of features (e.g.
buildings) (which can be filtered), their attributes,
and attributes from their associated tables (e.g. list
of tenants, list of rooms etc).  I would also like to
control which features are rendered on the map based
on selections in the tree.

What is the best way to go on this?  I imagined a
pluggin/feature but need help with extension points,
hooking into the database data, etc. I also thought
perhaps extending the 'project tree' might be the way
to go - but am not sure if this is possible.
Hope someone can point me in the right direction.
regards
geoff
