Hi programmers, I found quite a lot of places in mkgmap source with a block like below. I'd prefer to put this into a static method like public static Style readStyle(Properties props) in the StyleImpl class. Any reasons why that wasn't done until now? String loc = props.getProperty("style-file"); if (loc == null) loc = props.getProperty("map-features"); String name = props.getProperty("style"); if (loc == null && name == null) name = "default"; try { this.style = new StyleImpl(loc, name); this.style.applyOptionOverride(props); } catch (SyntaxException e) { System.err.println("Error in style: " + e.getMessage()); throw new ExitException("Could not open style " + name); } catch (FileNotFoundException e) { String name1 = (name != null)? name: loc; throw new ExitException("Could not open style " + name1); } Gerd -- View this message in context: http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/Question-reg-StyleImpl-tp5756589.html Sent from the Mkgmap Development mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
