or data blocks) from layouter and dialog creator. This is required for
dynamically generated/modified dialogs. Parts in the XML file can be
hidden and turned on by the C++ code. Other hidden parts can be used
as templates that are multiply used. Hidden datablocks can contain
strings that are used in dialog context, that are easier to translate
or modify in the XML file.
I have done a valgrind run in flightgear. Just start it up and close it at the
fist change I had about half an hour later.

Also two minor ones, but leaks ...
This adds a TACAN instrument to the inventory. Range and bearing are calculated
to the TACAN or VORTAC beacon selected by means of the Channel Selector in the E
quipment/Radio pull-down menu.
A TACAN beacon has also been added to the aircraft carrier Nimitz (channel #029Y
).
Attached is a patch to the airport data storage that I would like committed
after review if acceptable. Currently the storage of airports mapped by ID
is by locally created objects - about 12 Meg or so created on the stack if
I am not mistaken. I've changed this to creating the airports on the heap,
and storing pointers to them - see FGAirportList.add(...) in
src/Airports/simple.cxx. I believe that this is probably better practice,
and it's certainly cured some strange problems I was seeing when accessing
the airport data with some gps unit code. Changes resulting from this have
cascaded through a few files which access the data - 11 files are modified
in all. Melchior and Durk - you might want to test this and shout if there
are problems since the metar and traffic code are probably the biggest
users of the airport data. I've also added a fuzzy search function that
returns the next matching airport code in ASCII sequence in order to
support gps units that have autocompletion of partially entered codes.
More generally, the simple airport class seems to have grown a lot with the
fairly recent addition of the parking, runway preference and schedule time
code. It is no longer just an encapsulation of the global airport data
file, and has grown to 552 bytes in size when unpopulated (about 1/2 a K!).
My personal opinion is that we should look to just store the basic data in
apt.dat for all global airports in a simple airport class, plus globally
needed data (metar available?), and then have the traffic, AI and ATC
subsystems create more advanced airports for themselves as needed in the
area of interest. Once a significant number of airports worldwide have
ground networks and parking defined, it will be impractical and unnecessary
to store them all in memory. That's just a thought for the future though.
Somehow the MIPSpro compiler doesn't like an STL map entry being called
using a variable when the reference is an object and not a pointer to an
object.
Preliminary support for a fontcache is added which prevents fonts from
being loaded more than once and takes care of freeing them up again.
The fontcache isn't used yet since there seems to be a problem somewhere.
I have traced that reset on carrier problem down to several problems. One of
them is the fact that on reset the carrier is updated while the aircraft is
not. That made the aircraft drop down an elevator sometimes. Depending on the
passed realtime while loading some parts of the scenery.
LayoutWidget::setDefaultFont() wants puFont* /and/ pointsize as extra
parameters, when puFont knows its pointsize anyway. Didn't want to change
that yet, though.) Now the HELVETICA_10 font makes actually sense. :-)
font similar to Helvetica/Swiss. The license doesn't allow to redistribute
modified fonts under the original name. While it's only a converted font,
and not manually modified, it can no longer be seen as original. Changes
so far are (a) conversion from vector to bitmap, (b) different empty space
width, (c) different & constant gap value, without other kerning information.
Further changes may be necessary in the future.
[new_gui is] "using copies of puFont objects that are not yet initialized, I
think that dependant of link order (and so tor execution order) it can
work or not. Changing puFont font by puFont *font should work in all cases."
hardcodes the text color as black, which makes them a bit hard to read
on dark backgrounds; fix sent to the plib list; (the added code isn't
pretty and hence fits the existing style quite well ;-)
colors from /sim/gui/colors/ into map;
- set default color scheme
- handle fonts
- implement color class
- close all dialogs on reinit, set up style again, and then reopen all
(non-nasal generated) dialogs again
generated by freeglut's genfont utility. That application also generates
a copyright message that I did not copy into this file, because it is
wrong: the author of genfont claims copyright for data that *I* generated
using his program; this doesn't fly. Of course, the copyright will remain
in the (heavily edited) version of *his* code. I'll commit that, too.
no longer save inaccessible bindings copies, but only pointer to the
bindings in the property tree (which was desirable to get accurate
error messages for Nasal bindings).
- add <vrule>
- allow elements to default to foreground color (black)
- remove redundant if (foo) delete foo;
The rules do currently need a dummy child for the layouter to work correctly,
(<hrule><foo/></hrule>). The goal is to make a simple <hrule/> work.
showDialog() is careful not to create a new FGDialog() if a dialog with the
same name is already open (active). But at this point it is already too late:
newDialog(), which was called shortly before, has already overwritten the
dialog properties. This leads to animated garbage in the best case, and a
segfault in format_callback() in the worst case.
- GUI::newDialog(): Don't you overwrite properties of an active dialog!
- GUI::readDir(): You may do that, but delete the old dialog first!
(necessary for reloading the GUI)
- FGDialog::makeObject(): only set format_callback() with setRenderCallback()
if the property is "live". Otherwise, only call it once at construction
time. This isn't only a performance improvement. Without this the label
was growing until it hit the limit (256).
