This links together the generic MFD and the NavDisplay; it allows a fairly easy method to add a Map page to an MFD device.
----------------------
See: http://wiki.flightgear.org/Canvas_MFD_Framework
----------------------
Instantiate parameters:
1. pfd_device (instance of PFD_Device)
2. instrument display ident (e.g. mfd-map, or mfd-map-left mfd-map-right for multiple displays) - used to map to the property tree
3. layer_id: main layer in the SVG
4. nd_group_ident : group (usually within the main layer) to place the NavDisplay
5. [optional] switches - used to connect the property tree to the nav display. see the canvas nav display.
To add a canvas nav display page simply do
me.some_page = PFD_NavDisplay.new(me.PFD,"Situation", "mpcd-sit", "ID", "jtids_main");
I created a substantial quantity of new work in the New Regional
Textures project and I would like to ask if anyone could review and
perhaps commit them into FGDATA. The modifications are:
- New textures and material definitions for California
- New textures and material definitions for Mexico
- New material definitions for Central America
- New textures and material definitions for Southern Europe
(Mediterranean region: Portugal, Spain, south of Italy, Greece, coast of
Balkans)
- New airport grass texture (global)
- New airport grass texture for Latin America
- New American town texture (global)
- Small improvement to grass blade textures (to better fit the airport
grass texture)
If this will be committed, we must add a note thanking the United States
Geological Survey (USGS) for the satellite images of California (
http://www.usgs.gov/ ) to the Thanks file.
Add generic version of a canvas MFD (based on the F-15)
It has a fairly simple class structure and hopefully is reasonably easy to understand; Thorsten's using it on the Shuttle and Hooray mentioned that it'd be a good idea to make it generic. It provides a device, that has pages and a set of buttons. The set of buttons control the page that is selected (i.e. a menu). Each page has its own set of menus. A menu defines a label and a page that is displayed. I intend to document it on the wiki once its added.
Only show max 50 aircraft by default and provide a "Show More"
button. This prevents locking the GUI for up to nearly 15 seconds
with showing the list of all aircraft.
Rewrite the way scrolling for ScrollAreas is handled: Store
content position instead of scrollbar positions to keep position
on resize and promote moving the content instead of the contents
to as primary API.
Let the mousewheel scroll by fixed content offset instead of
scrollbar offset to make it actually usable (especially with
low scrolling distance).
