mapimage.java public method addition?

[Stephen Lime]

You folks might want to consider patching a newer version of the mapimage
applet rather than the one Tom is mucking with. It uses the newer mouse
API and may be better suited to this modification. See attached...

I'm not familar with the maplet, but I can tell you a bit about java. You
could extend MouseMotionAdapter to capture the mouse position. The general
idea would be like this:

public class PointLabeler extends MouseMotionAdapter {
    public void mouseMoved (MouseEvent  e) {
       // get the position in pixels relative to java's default origin at
the top left corner of the innermost component containing the mouse position
       int x = e.getX();
       int y = e.getY();
       // translate position from java coordinates to map coordinates

      // display label
   }
}

Let me know if you need more help.

Joan
