Hi,
I've had a go at implementing an "extended" route finding tool for Viking.
I'm sending this mail to
1) see what you think of the tool, whether i'm trampling over any work in
progress, and whether it would be suitable to add to Viking proper, and
2) get some code review, since i just dived into a large project and
hacked around until it worked...
The idea is that it is a more direct version of the "refine route" option.
The interface more or less behaves like the "create route" tool. On the first
click the user is asked for the name of the route to be created; then, route
points are added each time the user clicks (with the UI showing route points
and connecting lines). The twist is that each time the user adds a route
point, the default routing web engine is queried to find a route between the
last point of the track and the new point to be added. The user presses
"escape" to finish the planning, or "backspace" or right-clicks to undo the
last search (and skip back to the penultimate manually entered route point).
The implementation is available here
https://github.com/yourealwaysbe/viking-extended-route-finder
as a fork of the main git repository. At the moment i'm just using the same
button icon as the route finder.
As part of the implementation i also fixed
vik_track_cut_back_to_double_point
in viktrack.c, since it was casting trackpoints to co-ordinates rather than
extracting the coord field of the trackpoints.
Let me know what you think.
Best,
Matt
