Drawing rectangles, sectors, variable shapes

[Robert Huber]

Hi All

I have GIS data (let's say to be simple longitude/latitude) and would like to draw airspace info (see attached file) which in the simplest form is a rectangle, but can be composed of lines, sector parts or can be a circle.
Is there a bean in Servoy which I could try to accomplish that?

Are there examples out there?

Best regards, Robert

Hi Robert.

I am about to release R1.2.9 of my software which contains beans for image, browser and ole.
I am also working on a DrawBean for R1.2.10 which will be released about 1 week thereafter.
As soon as I have a stable beta-level bean, I will send you a link to download. I have been contacted by some other developers who are looking for something in this area as well (hence the driving force to build one).
If anyone else is interested, please post back.

cheers

Hi J...

Thanks for the reply. Yes I am interested in such a bean and are looking forward to hear from you.

Best regards, Robert

You mean something like this?

It's just a simple little app I'd written one day that I converted to work with Servoy. Enjoy.

I guess I could publish a demo solution too.

Very nice! Even supports multiple undos.

Hei: really nice. Do you think you can also put a text tool in it?

And, most important, are you planning to sell it?

Thanks Ric and Dean.

Do you think you can also put a text tool in it?

Yeah, when I wrote it a while ago I'd started on a text tool but haven't gotten around to finishing it. It started as just a little project to prove it could be done... I'd originally envisioned turning it into kind of a photoshop-ish platform for experimenting with different graphics techniques in Java. I suppose I'll revisit it again someday.

The record-aware behavior was something I'd toyed around with on the calendar bean I did but never seemed to get it right.

And, most important, are you planning to sell it?

To be honest I'm not really sure what to do with the bean. Would I like to make some money? of course... but selling it implies supporting it and making endless feature upgrades, etc. which all take time. Time unfortunately is something woefully lacking in my life (except on lovely holidays like this ) so even thinking about taking on that commitment makes my brain tired.

I suppose I have a few options: open source it, sell it as-is, or sell the source code and IP to someone else to upgrade and support it. In the interest of making it somewhat worth my time to write these fun little apps I'd be partial to the latter two... any takers? PM for more info.
