[udig-devel] How to create a grid of features in a polygone

[Jody Garnett]

Morning,

If I understand you correctly... I would create points using a couple of 
nested for loops covering the entire screen (or area of interest) and 
for each point check if it is inside one of your polygons.

GridCoverage is kind of like a raster; conceptually you can think of it 
as a layer of very small rectangles that are all touching. If you really 
wanted to use grid coverages you could "draw" the polygons onto a raster 
(using StreamingRenderer the same was BasicFeatureRenderer does it) and 
then look at the raster; for each pixel that has been drawn on you could 
record a "point" (perhaps at the center of the pixel?).

Cheers,
Jody
