Update layer locations to reflect the output location

It appears that the first click focuses the panel, but is not sent to the info button.

It would be nice to render of to other formats, specifically to png (due to the size of images that are predominately alpha). One could (I assume) use a library that gives more than just png support, but really png is all I'm after.

People have commented that during loops it is useful to know what layers are activating. Currently this is a manual process (add labels). It may be nice to create an automatic way of deriving this from the layer title etc.

Proposal: - Add a cross through 'disarmed' - Add a single slash through 'partial armed'

It would be more usable to have an on/off toggle on every branch of the layer tree, that turns on/off all of its children.

Currently there are buttons on the toolbar for this (if they are kept, should there be two, or a cycle button?). I had to have the existing buttons pointed out to me, as when I went looking for them, they weren't where I expected them to be. As such, I had been turning large numbers of layers on/off individually.

The tiler throws a java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException when it tries to tile images with only two channels, one black and white, and one alpha.

Tile processing is inherently parallel, and a significant bottleneck is IO. Thus, performance may be increased if full advantage is made of available CPU cores by making the tiling code block mulithreaded.

Currently the flyToPlace function in PlacesPanel only supports OrbitViews. Add support for other views. This may require changing the storage format of places to store the eye position.

In the 'Set pixels with values:' option in the tiler, the fields 'between' and 'and' require min/max values respectively (the first must be lower than the second), which does not come across in the terms 'between' and 'and' (hereafter a and b).

The terms used imply that all values between a and b will be replaced, irrelevant which is the lesser value, a or b, when in fact, a must be the lesser value.

I suggest adding checking to the code to make sure they are ordered correctly so that the number is not important to the user, instead of changing the wording.

When you drag a layer onto the the root note of the animation browser, which reads 'World Wind Animator', it spits out an IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: -1, Size: 6. (note that there are seven layers, currently in my scene, including the camera.

I was expecting it to be added to the world wind animator list of layers, either at the top or bottom. Not sure which would make more sense.

To reproduce: drag any layer def file onto the 'World Wind Animator' label at the top of the animation browser.

Behavior could be similar to that used in the ribbon tiler.

It would be nice to have a button next to a dataset in the Datasets panel that allows you to add/remove an entire dataset, instead of having to add/remove them individually.

The render output destination text field resizes itself when the path is really long. This moves the browse button, found to the right of the field, outside the window itself, so one can not use it. This seems to only happen when one loads a file that has a saved render path.

To reproduce:

1. Open the animator
2. Select render
3. Choose an output path that is deep
4. Choose OK

The delegate definitions (e.g. ColorMapReader) should support whitespace after brackets and commas etc. to be more robust.

This will help avoid annoying and hard-to-detect syntax problems when authoring layers.

When null is passed to the WWXML util methods a new empty XPath object is created. This can be avoided by creating a single empty XPath object and passing that in inside the fromXML methods.

When reading the MissingData element in the ElevationModel definiton, One assumes that, as its attributes are signal and replacement, that the signal value is replaced by the replacement value.

Instead, when given a dem (with a z ranging between -6000 and -50) that has a nodata value of -9999, feeding a single value of 3000~ (the original value before I changed it when tiling it), and a replacement of -9999, the dem does not work. changing the signal value to -9999 causes it to work. This does not seem right.

Implement a model that is backed by an Animation. Remove coordinating control from the Animator class.

Ability to fade in more detailed tile layers when zooming in rather than just pop on [Essentially we need to display the more detailed image tile before it is visually required] This improvement is particually relevent where zooming in on imagery such as landsat imagery. In some existing animations, there is an evident pop in image resolution - the higher res images is being displayed at a point where the lower res image has started to become blury - so the swap of tile is visible.

Google Earth does this really well - with a fade into the higher resolution image as you zoom in.

It would be nice to be able to further specify frame ranges, using a string. Currently we can render between start and end, but alternatively we could specify frames with a string, allowing for either single frames, multiple single frames at different points, and multiple ranges.

For instance, given '1,3,5,7-10,20-30', the render could render frames 1, 3 and five, and then render the ranges of 7 to 10 and 20 to 30.

It would be nice if one could select a number of layers in a file browser and drag them all into the animators layer pallet. Currently it only does one at a time. You can do this in the viewer.

Create a dataset file that reflects the current layer panel structure and contains copied layer definition files.

Either simple 'yes/no' selection, or specify Java class name...

Should be located at the output location and include the name of the distro in the name.

E.g. That subsurface data will require the occluding globe layers to be made transparent. Include animated PNGs etc. to illustrate what the tip is talking about.

A detailed technical specification for the Viewer application needs to be created to document it's structure and design.

If you click on a layer and try to manually enter a decimal value in one of its parameters, such as the opacity parameter, then it will also step forward a frame. This is bad because one generally sets it to the frame one wants to change before making the change, not expecting the frame to be incremented.

To reproduce:

1. Open the animator.
2. Pick a layer with an opacity, such as landsat.
3. Click in the value box to transfer the focus to it.
4. Note the current frame (in a new file, frame 0)
5. Type a value, such as .2.
6. Note that the frame is now frame 1.

Address the TODO in Path.getPointsInSegment() to improve performance of curtain tile layer

If you create a mask layer as a black and white image, it does not recognise it as a mask.

The issue is that the mask reader delegate takes the alpha channel from the mask tiles, and uses it as the alpha.

It would be good to be able to use greyscale images to define a mask (similar to GIMP etc.)

The ability to select multiple keys and move them together would be handy. An extension of this would be able to scale the selected keys, and only the selected keys. To do this in Max, there is a bar underneath the number line that shows the selected range. You can then click and drag on the edges to scale it dynamically.

Currently if the .Net framework is not installed the tiler doesn't report a meaningful error, making the cause hard to debug.

It would be nice if the tiler presented a meaningful error message indicating that mapnik tiling cannot proceed without the .Net framework being installed.

The code for the Point Layer mechanism should be refactored to ensure Attributes are 'optional' if a default style is present.

This is a test issue

Theme file should include info collected about the distro

Taking a stab at this being a common element, but in the animator, when you load the compass for the second time in a world wind instance, then it doesn't appear to work. If one starts a new instance of the animator, and loads up the compass layer, or the world map layer (the scale bar appears to work fine), then opens a new file, and attempts to compass layer again, nothing will show up. Not even a stack trace.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open animator
2. Load Compass Layer
3. File->New
4. Load Compass Layer

It would be nice if the animator had a framerate, and that it attempted to preview at that framerate. At that point, one may also want x.5 preview, as well as the x2 which is already there.

The screen shot file picker does not keep the working directory or file type last used when you open it again, after using it once in a session.

I expect (user expectation) file choosing dialogs that see continuous reuse to keep the last used directory in a session, and possibly the file type and name (though these are debatable).

The standard SkyGradientLayer now uses horizon distance rather than far clip, making the StereoSkyGradientLayer redundant. Update layer definitions and remove from use.

Can we get sector checking on tile co-ords to make sure tiles are not flipped.

Copy layer definition files referenced in current layers panel to output location

(Optionally) Copy contents of user's cache to the output location. Only copy cached contents for the distro's layers. Perhaps optionally allow user to specify max level, bounding box etc.

Current size is ~760 lines. This class should be analyzed and refactored when time is available.

Theme name will be displayed in window title

Add a feature that allows the user to define 2 points on the globe surface. Between these two points a grid will be generated that includes tick marks for depth/elevation.

This grid should scale similar to the graticule so more detail can be gained. It should also respect the current vertical exaggeration.

The purpose of this grid will be to (a) orient the user when subsurface, and (b) provide an indication of depth.

Currently the files saved to cache are saved to owner only permissions.

Copy the executing JAR file and rename to reflect the theme name

The tiler output log currently spits out 2 coordinates without marking which is which, it would be good to have them marked as ne/top left and se/bottom right.

When loading a GeoTIFF or other georeferenced image, a local tileset is generated in the 'C:\WINNT\Profiles\All Users\Application Data\WorldWindInstalled' directory. The FileLoader.loadCachedData() function should return a valid layer document when this cached data exists.

At the moment, it returns null, which means the local tileset is generated on load every time the Viewer is run.

Also, I think the directories stored under the WorldWindInstalled directory should contain the file's path information, not just the filename.

At the moment, if you insert two file layers from different directories but with the same filename into the Viewer's layers, the generated local tileset directory will be the same. This is not ideal. Perhaps encode the path and filename into the local tileset directory name (replacing the /'s with some other character)?

It would be nice to be able to expand the parent layer in the layer tree and deactivate/adjust opacity of individual shapes within a shapefile layer. This would need to be captured in places list etc.

Creating a standalone distro for use at conferences and in presentations etc. is a time consuming process.

The ability to use a wizard style exporter to export a snapshot of the current viewer state for use as a standalone distro would be very useful.
