Hi all, I have extracted from my "Frankenstain" OpenJUMP Jufre a couple of plugins that could be useful on OJ.
As usual, to explain the usage and the function, I did a plugin which I added to this mail that people can test (zoom.jar) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- These plugins are basically a zoom in, zoom out (already on OJ) and a center zoom plugins. They are activated, under a "Zoom" submenu" on left-click View menu. I took the idea from Kosmo software. The plugins are basically the same of the Kosmo originals with few modifications in order to let them work with OJ. - The Plugins - "Zoom In" zooms of 0.5 factor to the point of the cursor. "Zoom out" is basically the same as the one embedded in OJ. It zooms to 2.0 factor. I put here in order to show the new icon and the position of this plugin according to the two other ones. "Zoom to Click" basically set the center of the view at the cursor position. It has no zoom effect (factor is 0.0) All tree plugins have new icons that should explain the usage. Why these tree zoom plugins on left-click view menu? When the user is drawing a geometry, it is very important that he/she can: a) define the accuracy of the drawing geometry. Zoom in and Zoom out allows to do it b) finish to draw that geometry outside the starting view, if the image to be drawn is outside. "Zoom to Click" allows to change the position of the view, according the cursor tool We have on OJ keyboard plugins for that. But zoom plugins available on the context menu are more easy to remember than keyboard ones. On the other hand they can be used on a tablet pc (no keyboard). And Context left-click menu on the view is always accessible by drawing tools (and other tools) while drawing a geometry I ask the people to do this test to see how these plugins could be useful - start to draw a simple line from west to east. - when you reached the eastern side of the view, you cannot go on drawing the line. Don't double click to stop drawing(!) - left-click and choose "Zoom to Click" - You will see that the center of the view is changed and so you can go on drawing. If you think that these plugins are useful. I image that the right position of them on the menus could be together with the other zoom plugins. The actual zoom plugins (In English): .... -------------- Fence Zoom to Selected Items Zoom out ------------- ........ If we adopt these new zooms: ...... ------------- Fence Zoom to Selected Items ------------- Zoom In Zoom Out Center Zoom ------------- ...... This is my proposal. I would like to have your opinion after a test regards Giuseppe
