[Gvsig_english] News from carthema??

[Benjamin Ducke]

Right,

most of the thematic mapping capabilities of CarThema seem to be superseded
by gvSIG 2.0's equally powerful symbology options. The only missing thing
are pie charts etc. for mapping variable distributions at geographic locations.

If you look at the CarThema 5 "proof of concept" for gvSIG, all they are doing is
showing you how to create maps similar to CarThema 4 using gvSIG's own tools
(plus they integrate two drivers for the TAB and BNA formats they seem
to use):

So nothing to get too excited about, especially seeing that above page is now
> 2 years since the last update.

Would probably be more interesting to use a powerful Java diagramming toolkit as 
suggested by Silvio and integrate that into gvSIG's symbology options.

I might be probably wrong but it seems to me the Carthema project has a bit stopped its development. At least from its web-site it appears so.

On the other hand, there is a very similar project for doing diagrams and charts. 
Its library is written in Java. Therefore it should be easy to gvSIG'2 developers to use it.
The link is: http://www.jfree.org/jfreechart/

Best regards,

Silvio
