animation on map with jmapframe - geotools

Question

I am using geotools library to animate a polygon on a map. By using JMapPane it is possible to do animation smoothly. ex:AnimatedMapPane

However, the problem with it is that I can not use it with JMapFrame and I have to use JFrame. I want to use JMapFrame because it offers a lot more features compared JFrame like showing layers, zoom buttons etc.

Can I add JMapPane as a layer to JMapFrame? (A layer for map, another layer for animation objects)

In addition, I considered making dynamic layer to make animation. But as indicated here it causes flickering and answer suggests the usage of JMapPane.

A complete example using [tag:jmapviewer] is shown [here](http://stackoverflow.com/q/36783672/230513). — trashgod, Jul 28 '16 at 16:51
sorry but i think jmapviever and jmapframe are totally different things. (OpenStreetMap/Geotools) — orkan, Jul 29 '16 at 05:38
Right, but others might like to see a `SwingWorker` example in this context. — trashgod, Jul 29 '16 at 11:58

Ideally you would extend JMapFrame and override the constructor to change the MapPane to be an AnimatedMapPane but mapPane is a private variable. If you put in an enhancement request (preferable with a clean up to use getMapPane() through out and a setMapPane(pane) method) I could review and apply it.

Alternatively you could copy JMapFrame into a new class and make a single change to the type of MapPane created at line 202 and be done.

Thank you very much. I will give it a try. – orkan Jul 29 '16 at 10:25 — orkan, Jul 29 '16 at 10:25
