<H1>GeoTools Demos and Tutorials Package</H1>
! <H2>Introduction</H2>
! <P>The GeoTools open source java mapping toolkit is a flexable library of rutines and objects that can be used
! to build interactive web based applets as well as stand allone applications.</P>
! <P>The GeoTools package is not an application in its own right however, only a toolkit, so in order to place a
! map on the web, or into an application small amounts of additonal code is required.</P>
! <P>This package aims to provide a suite of small applets, and latter applications, that can either be used 'as
! is', or used as a starting point for more addvanced programs. (Or you might just want to canabalise bits out of
! each one)</P>
! <H2>Requirements</H2>
! <P>GeoTools 0.7.9dev1 (included in jars folder) <BR>
! Java 1.1 or later<BR>
! suns Collections package (available in full from the geotools ftp site, jar file can be found in jars directory)</P>
<P></P>
! <H2>The Demos</H2>
! <P>The following demonstrations have been ilustated with the aim of providing clear examples of GeoTools usage, as a result
! there is a minimum of non-geotools related code, for example code for error handling is not as much in evidence
! as perhaps it should be.</P>

! <H2><A NAME="Introduction"></A>Introduction</H2>
! <P>The GeoTools open source java mapping toolkit is a flexible library of routines and objects that can be used
! to build interactive web-based applets, as well as stand alone applications.</P>
!
! <P>The GeoTools package is not an application in its own right, however, only a toolkit. So, in order to place
! a map on the web, or into an application, small amounts of additional code are required.</P>
!
! <P>This package aims to provide a suite of small applets that can either be used 'as is', or as a starting point
! for more advanced programs. (Alternatively, you might just want to cannibalise bits out of each one).</P>
! <H2><A NAME="Overview"></A>Overview of files</H2>
! <P>This directory contains everything you need to get started with GeoTools, including the latest release of GeoTools
! together with support files, sample maps and example web pages.</P>
!
! <P>In the directory that you find this file in, you will see a series of examples. For each there are three files:
! an <B>.html</B>, a <B>.java</B> and a <B>.class</B> file (e.g. Example1.html, Example1.java and Example1.class).</P>
!
! <P>You will also find two directories: one called <B>maps</B>, which contains the maps used in the examples, and
! one called <B>jars</B>, which contains the GeoTools toolkit itself and some support files that it uses.</P>
!
! <P>So, in total, we have:</P>
!
! <UL>
! <LI>readme.html - this file
! <LI>example1.html - a web page which contains a demo
! <LI>example1.java - the source code for a demo
! <LI>example1.class - the compiled (ready to use) version of a demo
! <LI>...
! <UL>
! <LI>jars/geotools.jar - The GeoTools toolkit
! <LI>jars/support.jar - Some extra code that supports GeoTools
! <LI>jars/collections.jar - A standard extension from sun for java 1.1
! </UL>
! <LI>
! <UL>
! <LI>maps/statepop.zip - a simple map of the US used by the demos
! </UL>
! </UL>
!
! <H2><A NAME="Requirements"></A>Requirements</H2>
! <P>Java 1.1 or later: either on its own or built into a browser. You will find Java built into most modern browsers
! by default.</P>
<P></P>
! <H2><A NAME="Demonstrations"></A>Demonstrations</H2>
! <P>The following demonstrations have been put together with the aim of providing clear examples of GeoTools usage.
! As a result, there is a minimum of non-GeoTools related code. For example, code for error handling is not as
! much in evidence as would normally be the case.</P>
!
! <P>If you are a non-programmer, then you will probably only be interested in the html files. Try each demo and
! see which one does what you need. As the demos progress, they add more features. In order to use your own maps,
! you will need to modify the tags in the html file. You should not need to worry about the code found in the .java
! files yet.</P>
!
! <P>Each demonstration listed below takes the following format:</P>
! <H3>Title - the name of the demo</H3>
! <P>Link - an active link which will take you to a page which shows the demo running</P>
!
! <P><B>Description: </B>- a quick overview of what the demo does</P>
!
! <P><B>Customizing: -</B>a list of things which can be changed from the html tags without the need to re-program
! anything</P>
!
! <P><B>Key classes: -</B>a list of GeoTools components that were introduced for the first time in this demo. Don't
! worry about this if you are not a programmer</P>
!
! <P>Right, on with the show...</P>
