Hi Michael
--------------------------------------------------
* If the map is in geographic coordinates (lat/lon), north is // to y
axis, which makes azimuth calculation easier, but distance calculation
difficult.
* If the map is in a projected coordinate system, azimuth can't be
precisely calculated without a deep knowledge of the projection (grid
convergence angle - see
http://w3.posc.org/GeoshareSIG/technical/GDM/v13.0/217-AZIMUTH-CORRECTION.php).
Not a reason to do nothing, but may need to warn the user, at least in the wiki
documentation.
------------------------------------------------------
I am aware about this. The usage of Azimuth would be limited to UTM projection
and only within certain latitudes. But I think that it could be really helpful
for many situations. Other metrics derives from original Martin's
CoordinateListMetrics plugin.
--------------------------------------------------
.... which
does exacly that but which display the scale in the viewPanel.
What is the use case ?
Having feedback while changing the scale to adjust it to a certain
amount (I think that was what Matthias plugin wanted to achieve)
-> solution 1 may be enough
Or permanently display the scale -> solution 2 (looks like above
mentionned plugin)
-------------------------------------------------
The scale panel should be permanently displayed on the Info Panel. It can be
used together with Matthias SuperZoom plugin: user can see both the source and
target zoom levels. The actual plugin works if the mouse is moved on the
workbench and if the shape is modified.
With this new plugin, the The scale frame plugin on the view will becomes a
decoration, for printing.
Talking about decoration Larry's ShowNorthPlugin in not activated by default
(by default-plugins.xml file). Can we add it on OJ 1.5.2?
