Hi all,<div><br></div><div>I need some general guidance on best practices and technical matters. I'm very new to GIS in general so please pardon my ignorance.</div><div><br></div><div>I want to paint a set of radar range rings centered on a position. A radar sector scan is pained on top of the range rings and is continually updated</div>
<div>as the radar scans, like a rotating pie slice - I'm sure you've seen this before...</div><div>Targets are painted as the scan sector passes over them and then fades out... Like a normal radar would.</div><div>
<br></div><div>I would like to do this on top of a JMap2D within the geotk/puzzle-gis framework (The application will be Netbeans platform based) to get all the</div><div>benefits of a real GIS framework.</div><div><br></div>
<div>My experiments up till now has many of these in place on a home-brew canvas where I do my own painting. I guess I can re-state the question</div><div>as how do I integrate my own custom painting with JMap2D without running into performance and threading issues ? And what of the GeoAPI's "features" </div>
<div>data types can be used to represent the targets as GIS objects ?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks and regards.</div><div><br>-- <br>Thys Meintjes<br><br><br>
