Introduction to OpenJUMP

Headline text

OpenJUMP is a Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) program that can be downloaded from http://openjump.org/. It is an excellent software package that is similar to other commonly using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) like ArcGis or Quantum GIS. The feature that really sets it apart from other programs is that the main focus of its tools and functionality leans more towards style. This tutorial will demonstrate the construction of a common thematic map like the one shown in Figure 1.1 below using OpenJump.
