Another problem I have had with digitizing with a Window tablet PC was changing
the visibility of a layer. Now it is programmed so that the click and release
must happen in the same pixel inside the check box (at least it feels so) and
it is almost impossible to do with a stylus in a moving car. But now everybody
is on the same line with jre 1.7 because the check box does not react at all.
For full tablet usage very much of the user interface should be adjusted. Many
buttons should be bigger and submenus should stay open so that a user could do
selections with click-click instead of click-slide to submenu item. Thats
almost impossible too in a car. Note: I do not digitize while driving, I have a
chauffeur. But Windows tablets are about non-existing at the moment. There
would be much more demand for OpenJUMP for Android right now. Android version
of QGIS seems to exist already.

Hi all,
I have extracted from my "Frankenstain" OpenJUMP Jufre a couple of plugins that
could be useful on OJ.
As usual, to explain the usage and the function, I did a plugin which I added
to this mail that people can test (zoom.jar)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
These plugins are basically a zoom in, zoom out (already on OJ) and a center
zoom plugins. They are activated, under a "Zoom" submenu" on left-click View
menu.
I took the idea from Kosmo software. The plugins are basically the same of the
Kosmo originals with few modifications in order to let them work with OJ.
- The Plugins -
"Zoom In" zooms of 0.5 factor to the point of the cursor.
"Zoom out" is basically the same as the one embedded in OJ. It zooms to 2.0
factor. I put here in order to show the new icon and the position of this
plugin according to the two other ones.
"Zoom to Click" basically set the center of the view at the cursor position. It
has no zoom effect (factor is 0.0)
All tree plugins have new icons that should explain the usage.
Why these tree zoom plugins on left-click view menu?
When the user is drawing a geometry, it is very important that he/she can:
a) define the accuracy of the drawing geometry. Zoom in and Zoom out allows to
do it
b) finish to draw that geometry outside the starting view, if the image to be
drawn is outside. "Zoom to Click" allows to change the position of the view,
according the cursor tool
We have on OJ keyboard plugins for that.
But zoom plugins available on the context menu are more easy to remember than
keyboard ones. On the other hand they can be used on a tablet pc (no keyboard).
And Context left-click menu on the view is always accessible by drawing tools
(and other tools) while drawing a geometry
I ask the people to do this test to see how these plugins could be useful
- start to draw a simple line from west to east.
- when you reached the eastern side of the view, you cannot go on drawing the
line. Don't double click to stop drawing(!)
- left-click and choose "Zoom to Click"
- You will see that the center of the view is changed and so you can go on
drawing.
If you think that these plugins are useful. I image that the right position of
them on the menus could be together with the other zoom plugins.
The actual zoom plugins (In English):
....
--------------
Fence
Zoom to Selected Items
Zoom out
-------------
........
If we adopt these new zooms:
......
-------------
Fence
Zoom to Selected Items
-------------
Zoom In
Zoom Out
Center Zoom
-------------
......
This is my proposal. I would like to have your opinion after a test
regards
Giuseppe
PS: The plugins are already in English, Spanish and Italian
