Hi All,
this week was a cool and bad week at same time …
cool :
-
i finally get the base code (not all the tools yet) working in qgis as a python plug-in
-
added UTM coordinates + zone in the display based on different ellipsoids [1]
-
working on a function to move the planet “smooth and slow” bettween 2 point
(simply it generate intermediate points along a geodetic lines to connect 2 points)
this work is not finished yet but it is promising [2] -
finished the tool to reproject, traslate, rotate a vector (i need to finish the “scale” function)
for now it works on shp file but it can work on all the ogr format.
the reprojection tool is based on 2 set of gcp to solve a last square system (only planimetry)
(you can choose between affine or conforme transformation) -
i’m playng with ossimplanet viewer and it’s new cool function (efemeridi, cloud, fog, visibility)
i’ll add a new grass script to simply run ossimplanet viewer using presected files …
here a nice screenshoot

what i’ll do the next week :
- i’ll work hard on the qgis side to go ahead about the gsoc code “porting”
- work on the geodetic “smooth-slow” moving bettween 2 positions
- working on how to customize the grass vector rendering (point size, line width, colors…)
bad things :
this week i broken the internal disk of my laptop … “lucky” it is readable but not writable
… so i had to buy a new one and reinstall all my needed sw on it (i know it is a little OT
… but this issue braked me)
best regards and happy summer!
Massimo.
