Hi Michat!
That looks really great - what exactly have you done there, is that just a passive preview, or did you literally add some menus to navigate through all symbols by modifying the original
snippet ? [/quote]
Thanks you. That just a passive preview, no menus added to navigate. Just testing colors.BTW: There's no need to manually colorize/scale/resize images, that can all be done procedurally by using Nasal/Canvas - so a single size and color should usually suffice - and we can also overlay multiple symbols automatically by using the z-index attribute for canvas groups.
There are some symbols that have 2 sizes, because charts can use those sizes, I made those sizes for that, but understanding that those could be scaled in any time. I used colors in order to introduce my work in the best way to show it, no problem to change one color as a read from Hyde's message. Hoping z-index will managed for you via canvas, because all my work is made in one layer, I never use layers.
What is the status regarding the symbols required to port the existing
Map widget (ILS) ?
If those menus are not currently functional, we can help you make them functional by using Canvas Event Listeners
What you see in this passive preview is mainly the IFR Navigation basic symbol set for the map widget, maybe we'll need more symbols but this is a basic set, if you need some more specific symbols that are missing just tell me. I didn't start dreaming an interface design (mock up) cause I don't know what are the functionalities you have in mind, I don't know about performance, I'm very conceited about readability-sizes and colors in order to have a good looking interface, however I'm asking to my MP friends feeding back about what they hate in the current map. Would be a dream to make some menus functional, only if the menu will be the best way to do it.
Yesterday night I dreamed a sweet interface, f11+f12+route-manager+fgmap, in a single canvas interface "navigation center". Just dreaming....
I think is better if you guys tell me what is the info you want to show, with the kind of your good code, good color/font selection, good use of space and resources we can make nice interfaces. If needed I can do some mock ups for your specific plan.
If you could post the SVG file, I am sure that Hyde, Philosopher or TheTom can commit it to $FG_ROOT, so that we can start using it - personally, I would prefer integrating it with out SymbolCache framework, so that people only need to request a certain symbol from the cache, instead of having to deal with SVGs directly
PS: If you have more symbols, you can use Tom's latest "scrollbar" widget to make the list scroll-able
Using Nasal console and your snippets for canvas was very tricky for me. Good to know that there is a scrollbar widget. The fact is that I have a lot of symbols, a lot especially those VFR.
I wish to know if could be possible to move a canvas window instance from point A to Point Be, just by click on it ? kind of side slider window..... moving from left to right.
Can somebody give me an email by private in order to send the initial files.
Cheers.
