[Gvsig_english] size of point symbology

[George MUAMMAR]

Dear Carlos, I have extended my stay in Gambia, so I thought I would try.

I have tried with both the MIDP and PPRO versions of J9, recently obtained from IBM Handango.

The MIDP does not have an installer, it is just copied into root directory, therefore I do not see how it can work (assuming it does not write anything into registry, but I didn't check). In any case it did not work.

The PPRO version, which I see from link below is the right one to use, has an installer. But it installs into /Program Files (not into root folder as specified in one of these links). However it also does not work.

When I say it does not work I mean that after installation I run gvSIG (the ..for J9 version), it shows the splash screen, then it exits silently.

I am running on WM 5. I shall now try on WM6 (I see there are some files to be deleted). However my 50 enumerators all have WM5

Thanks for any help

I have followed this post, but as mentioned, the PPRO J9 installer installs into /Program Files, not into / as specified. With my little knowledge of JVM I think this is a problem!

I have found this 2009 post, saying that the memory card path should be changed via registry to SD_Card. Is this the case?

Hi George,



The simbology doesn't work fine at all for the phoneme version.

The slider can't change the symbol size for instance.

You can try installing and using the J9 version.



To use J9 instead of phoneme version:



First of all you have to install J9 VM



J9 Download link:

If you're using Windows Mobile 6 you'll need delete the file \J9\PPRO11\bin\j9jit23.dll



Finally you have to install "...forJ9.CAB" CAB that you can find at:

Does it work for you?

Asunto: [Gvsig_english] size of point symbology

Dear List,

I had to work out how to use and deploy gvSig mobile very rapidly in a difficult situation so excuse me if I did not have the time to investigate thoroughly.
I have not discovered how to set basic point symbology parameters in the map legend. The slider does not seem to change the size (or rather, changing the size in the xml file does not increase the square symbol size on the map) and I could not understand how to get a filled point symbol. I could only set the outline colour of a tiny square box.
Please could you advise me on how to change the symbology?

As a repented Arcpad user I have finally had the pleasure of putting gvgis mobile into action. I had tried in the past but was unable to read my shapefiles so I gave up. Now I came to Gambia to support a food security household survey (with a very large questionnaire running on our own software) however data collection teams were given high scale (/low quality) maps at the last moment showing boundaries of enumeration areas, but there was no location map, so we read the coordinates off the map and put them into gvSig with Google MapMaker road layers underneath. With this tool the enumerators can find their way to the correct settlements and identify the enumeration areas.

Thanks for any help and tricks on point styles
