GeoTools User Guide
It is hard to express the extent of this change; much of the content has been rewritten; and more importantly updated to reflect the latest GeoTools. More importantly the "update" will be *sticky* as code examples are pulled from live source code; which is compiled as part of the publication process.
Rather than try and offer a summery - here is a round up of blog posts and tweets linking into the new docs:
- Documentation Links (Blog Post)
- Classifiers and ColorBrewer (Blog Post)
- Before and After (Blog Post)
- ObjectAid (Blog Post)
- feature mode? it is in the docs
- filter guide? it is in the docs
- text handling more than just string
- tradotopma; feature model guide (ie code examples) moved earlier
- thanks &fgdr1976 for the patch, opengis docs ported only 30 more to go
- Updated pictures from object aid ObjectAid is nice UML for people who want to get back to programming tool
- Type and Model 29 to go
- jts the interesting math with pictures
- Text facade for InternationalString
- Code example for Utilities
- A few of the Collection Classes we have kicking around
- ISO 19107 Geometry explained and the only three classes you need to use
- Updated a few more gt-opengis pages: coordinate system and unit background for gt-referencing
- gt-referencing docs are ported to sphinx this is the first time listing unsupported/supported plugins
- user guide table of contents taking shape no more hunting around
- porting geotools docs - jdbc image moasic seems to have more docs then all the other image formats combined
- coverage docs ready - half way done to porting docs
- gt-main docs bah has it really been this long since I looked at them? I think 10% is documented. Perhaps just use test cases.
- DataUtilities docs before and after - now covers all the methods
- filter examples now with pictures to cut down on the questions http://t.co/35wCOba
- filter docs now with function list and pictures
- docs for feature collection now with lots of examples; including indexed collections and join
- added gt-api docs for DataStore and Parameter
- gt-data docs for using DataStore and FeatureSource lots of pictures with an overview diagram for each section
- docs for gt-jdbc this time working through each plugin as I go
- docs for gt-jdbc are up
- style docs symbology encoding and style layer descriptor and code
- docs for markfactory with code example
- docs, using sphinx to steal examples from test case sample data for gt-svg and gt-chart
- Q: (style) long page of everything? or (jts) small pages Basically do you plan to print...
- docs for CQL are up covering the geotools ECQL extensions
- docs did you know did you know CQL is “Contextual Query Language"? GeoTools provides a command line utility for you to try it out
- thanks for the feedback - big long pages it is! docs Scary seeing all the GML parsing options in one place. Commit tomorrow
- xml internals are done http://t.co/xPXeiqO including working tutorial of code generation for bindings
- docs color brewer docs are up along classifier goodness
- docs up for gt-graph; now with pictures so you can tell how the moving parts work together.
- docs 110,000 words - sweet!
- new function list with argument names; massive amount of work for little gain (sigh)
- docs now lists unsupported modules (all of them, I put 27 place holders in for things with no docs)
- docs, added code examples for kml based on a stackoverflow question
- docs, you really wanted single page? Check out abstract datastore tutorial - that is one long page
- docs function tutorial showing how plugin system works
- Michael Bedward for continuing to inspire on the geotools user list; a large portion of the documentation has been assembled based on his email over the years. He has also been great with ongoing reviews and feedback.
- Justin DeOlivera for taking time to set up the sphinx build system; and also to the company he works for (OpenGeo) for providing the build box which publishes the documentation after every commit
- Lee Breisacher for launching into GeoTools development with a review of the AbstractDataStore tutorial. This was the original tutorial for GeoTools 2, first start in DocBook (just like PostGIS docs)
