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).
- Increase default size.
- Run parse_markdown on description to remove multi
whitespace, possible present in catalog.xml and
also support simple, one-level bullet point lists.
- Needs FlightGear compiled with -DENABLE_PACKAGE_SYSTEM.
- Shows only first 100 available aircrafts.
- Now progress indication on install/remove (need to reopen
dialog afterwards)
Fix the main bugs, add features and convert most of the layers.
Move/refactor some things as well. Add a canvas map dialog next to the
built-in one -- it's not 100% functional but it's quite close actually.
As before, the excitement has been taking place at our team clone.
https://gitorious.org/fg/canvas-hackers-fgdata/commits/0b4cc84
(topics/canvas-map-dialog branch this time, current HEAD in above URL.)
Features:
- Various configurable styles.
- Working scroll bars, thanks to Tom
- Adequate REPL-ness.
See the wiki for more information!

N.B. This makes some (sane) changes to other Nasal files, including
expanding some of the Canvas API.
- Calculate bounding box after adding all children.
- Apply rotation after all SVG defined rotations to use correct
center of rotation (as defined in Inkscape)
This (together with the SimGear and FlightGear commits) fixes
the core problems of #1333.
Implement traffic in MapStructure and use it. Various other hacks and/or
cleanup. Feedback required on whether this is a lot better than before.
Also partially revert 9c018d94c4d88dad7476ec250fa3b52024526f4b to add
feature to geo.PositionedSearch: it me._equals is overridden then the
old mechanism is used instead of the new C++ function, so that the
custom equality can be used. (In particular for the Fixes with the
TrafficModel class).
Make fdm listener single-fire, don't listen to /sim/signals/reinit. This
allows the Canvas to stay with the same placement through reinit, after
both the 777 and 747 were having problems. I don't see any reason for
having to recreate it all, and the cleanup function is still there (e.g.
for independent windows, to have their .del() call the ND's .del()).
renamed handle_reinit() -> del()
This also makes sure the /canvas/by-index/canvas[3/4]/ nodes are removed
and then recrated, as well as making sure the MapStructure del() path is
followed and working. Unfortunately the NDs are still blank after reinit.
The old API is not used with newer versions of FG. If an old
version of FG is used, also the according version of fgdata
should be used, which also includes the correct API wrappers.
In time for 3.0. The API is still not fully complete, and not fully
cleaned up, but this is good enough for this release cycle (and it
should offer benefit longer term, if not now -- hopefully performance as
well).
Many thanks to Hooray as well, who has helped prepare things while I
could not, and often suggested ideas.
- move SVG to Canvas directory
- add basic wxradar
- differentiate between track and heading
- improve altitude arc
- add range arcs
- display correct ETA for next waypoint
- get rid of global variables and use instance variables
- identified all important drawing routines and move them into *.draw files
- changed to dynamic loading of *.draw *.model and *.layer files
- implemented poor-man's controller hash to move use-case specific conditionals out of the draw files, and back into the instantiation, i.e. Gijs' EFIS class
- started identifying stuff that is not specific to drawing, but to what is to be drawn, i.e. Model stuff - such as positioned queries, moved those out into *.model files
- some more work on supporting more than a single ND MFD instance per aircraft
- renamed a handful of SVG identifiers to avoid naming conflicts and to simplify usage of SVG IDs as member fields
- moved all of the setlistener setup out of the fdm-initialized stub right into the ctor of the Efis class (actually that's controller stuff...)
- initial MapStructure framework
- aircraft-agnostic NavDisplay class
- preparations for deprecating map.nas
- additions to canvas.map
- preparations for making NDStyles configurable via XML
- Canvas window placements now use 'id' instead of 'index'...
- Provide Dialog class for backwards compatibilty (but print a
warning that it will be removed)
- Remove 'px' suffix from numbers to be used as valid numbers.
- Automatically update the rotation center if it the according
values are present.
- Fix text only partially set if containing xml entities.
Extend the canvas.Window class to create a simple window decoration
if a type for it (currently every type maps to the same style) is
given. It supports moving the window by dragging inside the title
bar and setting a window title.
Null the tooltip ID in update-hover, regardless of visibility. Avoids later tooltips when picking other (tooltip-less) pickable objects.
Also add two more mapping models for bools: up-down and down-up.
add a 'heading' mapping mode, normalises to 0..360
support a 'measure text' property used to compute the tooltip size (and hence avoid visual jitter when value is changed)
- std.string:
* Add method compare
* Add method starts_with
- canvas.Group:
* Add method rect for drawing (rounded) rectangles
- Rename canvas.Dialog to canvas.Window to free the name Dialog
for real dialogs.
- first stab at refactoring the map.nas module, and trying to let the API evolve according to our requirements
- split up the module into separate files (some of them will disappear soon)
- split up the "drawing" loops into separate functions so that they can be individually called
- move actual "drawing" to map_layers.nas
- introduce some OOP helpers to prepare a pure Layer-based design
- prepare helpers: LayeredMap, GenericMap, AirportMap (TODO: use a real "Layer" class)
- move airport features (taxiways, runways, parking, tower) to separate layers (i.e. canvas groups)
- avoid using a single update callback and use different layer-specific callbacks to update individual layers more efficiently
- add some boilerplate hashes to prepare the MVC design
- allow lazy updating of layers, where canvas groups are only populated on demand, to save some time during instantiation, i.e. loading an airport without "parking" selected, will only populate the layer once the checkbox is checked
- extend the original code such that it supports showing multiple airports at once
- add some proof of concept "navaid" layer using SVG files for navaid symbols (added only NDB symbol from wikimedia commons)
regressions:
- runway highlighting needs to be re-implemented
- parking highlighting will be done differently
- enforcing a specific drawing order for layers is currently not explicitly supported, so that taxiways may be rendered on top of runways
Also:
- integrated with the latest changes in git/master (HEAD) -i.e. metar support
- further generalized map.nas
- partially moved instantiation from Nasal space to XML space (WIP)
- create "toggle layer" checkboxes procedurally in Nasal space
- prepared the code to be better reusable in other dialogs (e.g. route manager, map dialog etc)
- completely removed the "highlighting" (runway/parking) feature for now, because we talked about re-implementing it anyhow
- Display taxiways
- Display different surface types
- control over components (taxiways, parking positions, towers) displayed
- include distance and course to airport.
- API:
* Rename setSize to setFontSize
* Add method getElementById to Group
* Rename name of element to id to show more prominent
that it should be unique.
* Add methods for hide/show elements.
* Fix: set correct id for cloned elements (parsesvg)
* Fix: retrieving group with getElementById failed.
* Parse SVG inkscape:transform-center-[xy]
* Allow rotation around given point (use values from inkscape
by default for SVG files)
* Use breadth-first search instead of depth-first search for
Element::getElementById (large speedup :))
* Add more convenience functions for path drawing.
* Add version check (useful if API files manually copied)
- SVG:
* Support <use> element
* Parse font-size
* Parse stroke-linecap
