> just a thought, as I don't use edition tools myself. Such tooltip is pretty handy when digitising because user does not need to move eyes from the working area into status bar. However, the box is also covering the map and therefore it should be located some short distance apart from the tooltip and the size of the box should be as small as possible for showing the necessary information. Box usually does not need to show all available decimals and angles should not be shown if user wants to see jus X and Y. We used to have such a tooltip in one application and it was tailored for a certain purpose but a general tooltip tool might have selections for - check boxes for the measures to be shown - count of decimal places (and areas must be rounded, not truncated then!) - if units and names of the measures are shown or not; - perhaps setting for the transparency of the tooltip info box background -Jukka Rahkonen- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ Jump-pilot-devel mailing list Jump-pilot-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jump-pilot-devel
