Both these editors have been significantly changed. This was a side effect of having changed the drawing system of Ilwis. The way the old editors worked could not maintained in the new system and so I had to redesign them from ground up. This proved to be a more time consuming job then I had anticipated. Particulary in the segment editor there were so many states and state transistions to be reckoned with that I sometimes had trouble determining the right course of action. Anyway, I think I now have a working editor for both pointmaps and segment maps.
The printed Map
Finally back after a long break. Happy new year to all.
Some people have voiced to me some concerns about my remarks about printing of maps in Ilwis 3.8. Or basically the lack of it. So I think it might be usefull if I explain a little bit better.
Babel
Though ILWIS was in theory multilingual from the 2.0 version, it was hardly used. I believe there was a (partly?) Italian version and a partly Spanish version, but they never ended up in the release version and/or were maintained. In the 3.7 this for the first time changed. Thanks to the work of Robin Prest and the money from the Geonetcast project a french translation of the user interface could be made.
The Losers
When implementing such a large operation as we are doing for the 3.8, there is inevitably functionality of the old code that has to be reevaluated. Mostly it is because you want something better, sometimes you have to remove some non performing functionality and sometimes you have to set priorities to determine what must be ported to the new structure and what will be dropped. This blog is about the losers of that judgment.
