The TIN models will be constructed in memory from input JTS geometries. Breaklines will be supported. If time allows, basic analysis such as the definition of watersheds and the creation of hillshades will be supported.</p>
<div style>Hello everyone at Google Summer of Code!</div><div style><br></div><div style>Sorry about such a late email but here is what I've accomplished this past week:</div><div style><br></div><div style>1.) I've familiarized myself with Java Programming to an extent that will I be able to take a launch on my coding in the very beginning of next week. I'm being completely honest here, so please be gentle.</div>
<div style>2.) Downloaded Eclispe and its plugins Subeclipse and eGit.</div><div style>3.) Thoroughly familiarized myself with the GeoTools developer guide and Java Coding Standards.</div><div style>4.) Discussed with my mentor the entire process as to which this project will be completed and have created a schedule as to when I will be writing my code.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>For me, this was my launch pad. Now I'am ready to get going and trust me the next weeks accomplishments will be far more interesting than these listed above. This is my first summer being able to be part of GSoC and I realize that I need to blast off on this project. By the time this summer of code is over, this project will be up and ready. Thanks everyone and if anyone could give me some advice as to how to approach coding this summer I'd really appreciate it.(I'd like feedback from other students rather than mentors).</div>
