Hello everyone,
I am sending my final Mini Project report. The more detailed version with
permanent links on GitHub PRs and with several screenshots can be found at
the project wiki [1].
Abstract:
Especially for Single-Window GUI, the Map Display status bar needs to be
lightened up a bit since in the case of opening more Map Display notebook
pages the check box on the right side of the status bar gets shrunk. The
solution is to remove the combo box in the status bar occupying too much
space and implement a new Map Display settings dialog accessible from the
top map display toolbar.
The state of the art BEFORE the start of Mini Project:
At this moment, the status bar at the bottom of the Map Display window
consists of the text/widget section, the combo box, the mask and the check
box. For the Single-Window GUI, the number of widgets must be reduced so
that the check box on the right side of the status bar is not shrunk.
The state of the art AFTER Mini Project:
The new Map Display settings dialog is introduced. The main task of this
dialog is to manage General Map Display settings and Statusbar settings. It
implies that the status bar combobox is not needed anymore because we can
find all Map Display settings including status bar customization in the new
dialog.
Next Steps:
Other possible improvements related to status bar stuff could be:
* Moving Projection page from GUI settings to the Map Display status bar
settings
* Adding context menu for status bar customization
* Adding EPSG code label of current location to the main status bar
* Merging „Go to coordinates X, Y“ and „Coordinates“ item into one widget
