example3.java

基于geotools的demo GeoTools is a Java library for manipulating and displaying geographic maps.

// first import standard java packages that we will need
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;

//now import the main geotools package
import uk.ac.leeds.ccg.geotools.*;
//finaly import the toolbar from the widgets package
import uk.ac.leeds.ccg.widgets.*;

/**
 * Example 3 is based almost entierly on Example 2, this time with the addition of a shader and key.
 * <p>
 * Applet parameters
 *
 * The relative location of a zip file from a single peramiter in the applet tag for the applet:
 * param name="shapefile" value="nameOfShapefileWithoutExtension"
 * param name="tooltip" value="nameOfColumn"
 * param name="shadeby" value="nameOfColumn"
 * 
 * The applet demostrates how to set up a theme with a classification shader
 * 
 * If you would like to use this applet as it is then edit Example3.html so that the parametiers points to the shapefile and columname that you want to display.
 * <br> For best performance put the shp and dbf files into a zip file with the same name
 * <br> e.g.  map.shp, map.dbf -> map.zip
 *
 * If you have any questions or need help then contact the author at<br>
 * [e-mail]
 * <p>
 * Note this applet was built and tested against GeoTools 0.7.8 
 * 
 * @author James Macgill
 * @version 1.0
 * @since 0.7.8.1
