Can I modify the shapefile's contour?
I must join the provinces.
How can I modify the Contour's color?

Thanks
Diana

You can modify the contour color by using the Stroke element
in SLD (have a look at the sample SLD files and read the SLD
specification here http://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=1188).

If you want to make the borders of provinces in the same
region disappear that's another story, it's processing.
You may be able to do that using a desktop GIS (I think
gvSig can do that but I'm not sure) or by
importing data into PostGIS and perform the merges using the
spatial analysis operations provided.

Hope this helps
Cheers
Andrea

Andrea,
my needs are to "merge" the contour of a set of privince into
"super-province" that is the "union" of more of them. For example merge
lucca&massa into a "area versilia".
Do u think that sw like "gvSig" can be useful to do this?
Do u know other software that can help me?
Have u some example to show?

Thanks

I'm not really sure, I only used gvsig as a viewer, yet
in this presentation: http://www.gvsig.gva.es/fileadmin/conselleria/images/Documentacion/ponencias/Presentacion_gisplanet_2005_parte3.pdf
they do mention merge as one of gvSig capabilities.

Do u know other software that can help me?

Udig should have some experimental modules to do merge
too, but they are not super easy to install and quite
experimental

Have u some example to show?

Unfortunately not.
Cheers

Hi,

"Merge two polygons", "Union" and "Union by attribute value" functions in OpenJUMP
(http://openjump.org) might be right for you. It has also a pretty well working WFS
plugin that was developed against GeoServer 1.5 if you get interested in delivering
vector data for desktop GIS. With GeoServer it is not transactional and supports
only WFS 1.0, though.

Regards,

-Jukka Rahkonen-
