<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!--
 generic-canvas.map XML: 
	- to be used by dialogs and instruments to add a generic map (navaids, fixes, airports etc)
	- with each feature put on a separate layer (canvas group)
	- each layer being controllable via a boolean property
	
NOTE: This is still work in progress, and will be significantly refactored in the time to come

Current requirements: (these are subject to change)

Dialogs wanting to use this, MUST:

	- set DIALOG_CANVAS in open block
	- provide a helper function dialog_property(p) to return a property appended to the dialog root in /sim/gui/dialogs/FOO/ 
	- to set up layer-checkboxes automatically, use canvas.GenericMap.setupGUICheckboxes(DIALOG_CANVAS, gui_group)

For example, add this to your dialogs Nasal/open block in "foo.xml":
	var dialog_name = "foo";
	var dialog_property = func(p) return "/sim/gui/dialogs/foo/"~p; 	
	var DIALOG_CANVAS = gui.findElementByName(cmdarg(), "airport-selection"); 
	canvas.GenericMap.setupGUICheckboxes(DIALOG_CANVAS, "canvas-control");

TODO: use a single "InitCanvasMapSupport();" helper

In the close block, you'll want to call "map.cleanup_listeners()" at the moment
