[Gvsig_english] Additional functionalities for gvSIG 1.9 / 1.10

[Wolfgang Qual]

Dear Antonio,
thanks for your words. It's always good to get a positive feedback...

This one sounds very useful too!

I did not make any intensive testing. However, it did not work in my case ;(

This tool remembers of linear referencing (or dynamic segmentation).
It can be very useful too.
Yes.

This one was just covered in part by SEXTANTE "Tools for vector layer"
--> "Autoincrement value" tool, however it's another good improvement.
It can also be used to concatenate the rec numbers as strings into other
fields, great!

Uh-oh. I did not know this! But I could not find the autoincrement tool in
sextante (at least not in OADE 2010 beta). Which version of sextante do you
use?

Very interesting! I have to try it yet...

Just a few questions to gvSIG developers:
Will these new tools be integrated in the next version of gvSIG (like
NavTable) or remain as separate extension?
Will these tools be ported into SEXTANTE library as gvSIG algs for an
useful and better integration of them? I think that this is a good
point: is it better to have standalone tools or tools which can be used
together (i.e. in a SEXTANTE model)?



Best,
Wolfgang
