I fully agree. Porting the analysis code of fTools to the analysis
lib would be a great gsoc project. <br>

to have a full suite of tools for manipulating vector objects and
layers. These tools should be ports of fTools to C++ and live in
the analysis lib so that they can be used in C++, Python and UI
(Carson and I have talked about this before).

Something that has been mentioned by a few people, and
would probably be very popular, I described like this:<br>
<br>
"Vector editing/geoprocessing tools or whatever they are
called, like the ones found in the Mapinfo 'Object' menu
- i.e. similar to ftools, but taking sets of selected
features as inputs, instead of whole layers."<br>

<br>
Later in that second thread someone also mentioned the
following; I think other people have also made similar
requests/suggestions:<br>
<br>
"I guess implementing topology rules and visualizing the
existing errors would be a way to identify and correct
problems like polygon overlapping. It might already
exist some code."<br>
<br>
This second idea would probably require more research
and thinking about exactly what to do.<br>
<br>
I think both these ideas are complementary, and could
perhaps be done in a single project. But I guess they
are also features that might be able to attract other
sponsors - you might think it is better to use Google
money to do something which is unlikely to get
sponsorship otherwise.<br>

Somebody started working on a plugin similar to this
(early last year I think), but it didn't get very far.<br>
