[JPP-Devel] svn and new features
Hi, Thanks, Ede, for your always relevant advices, r3914 brings two new features : - date display in Attribute panel is now customizable and use the -MM-dd hh:mm:ss.sss format by default (use display tab in options panel to change it) - null values are now displayed wih a small null icon in attribute panel (as in Kosmo) so that one can differentiate empty string from null values Michaël -- ___ Jump-pilot-devel mailing list Jump-pilot-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jump-pilot-devel
Re: [JPP-Devel] Integration of the SkyPrintPlugin into CORE
Hi , Although I'm generally not in favour of adding new dependencies to the core, I think that - printing is a core feature - having two printers in PLUS and none in CORE is a bit strange So my vote is to add the new printer to the CORE As for the name, an other option would be File Print Printer File Print Printer (advanced) or File Print Printer (core) File Print Printer (plus) My two cents Michaël I am in favour of Ede's proposal.

Re: [JPP-Devel] Integration of the SkyPrintPlugin into CORE
Hi Geoff, Matthias Thanks a lot for the offer Geoff. As I'm not a daily user of printing features, my main concern for now is to rationalize developpements and to develop in a useful way. To help heading in that direction, may advice would be - to make a detailed comparison of skyprinter and cadplan printer features - to make a small survey about how people use them and how they are satisfied with them - to study how they can converge or how they can complete each other in future developments But the first step is probably to make skyprinter available, either in core or in plus version. Matthias, what do you think ? Is there already a comparison between both plugins ? Best regards, Michaël Dear All I would be quite happy to look at adding any required additional functionality to my printer plugin if this would add to the general OpenJump capability. Please let me know what might be useful. thanks Geoff On 18/03/2014 18:02, Rahkonen Jukka (Tike) wrote: Hi, Let SkyPrint be in the Plus then.

Re: [JPP-Devel] svn and new features
Hi Michael, thanks for the improvements on attribute panel. Today I tested the new date format/panel option. a) I add a date attribute, digit some dates and modify default value: The format seems to remain -MM-dd hh:mm:ss.sss even if I set to other format b) it is not possible to modify hous/minutes/seconds/milliseconds. The values on my computer are set to a 12:00:00.000 standard value whatever input I do (and whatever time of the day is). There must be something I don't understand. c) There is an option on Time Panel -MM-ddThh:mm:ss.sss which is not standardized and it doesn't work (it gives back an illegal pattern Character T error message) d) saving to SHP and open the corresponding DBF file with Libreoffice base, the format is shown as mm/dd/yy format (only date no time), googling around I found that this is a pacularity of dBase format. I wander if the time field is saved for other file formats of OpenJUMP (es postgis) best regards Peppe 2014-04-01 8:38 GMT+02:00 Michael Michaud m.michael.mich...@orange.fr: Hi, Thanks, Ede, for your always relevant advices, r3914 brings two new features : - date display in Attribute panel is now customizable and use the -MM-dd hh:mm:ss.sss format by default (use display tab in options panel to change it) - null values are now displayed wih a small null icon in attribute panel (as in Kosmo) so that one can differentiate empty string from null values Michaël -- ___ Jump-pilot-devel mailing list Jump-pilot-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jump-pilot-devel -- ___ Jump-pilot-devel mailing list Jump-pilot-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jump-pilot-devel
Re: [JPP-Devel] Integration of the SkyPrintPlugin into CORE
Jukka has it right. I think of it as two parts: a printer (or PDF) driver, and a screen print utility. It should be possible for Cadplan to use the SkyPrint driver, just as it uses the ISA print driver now, if Geoff is willing. I would recommend that the SkyPrint driver be put in core so that developers can count on it being there. The only (minor) difficulty I see is the printing of the map furniture through iText. As I recall, I had to put in special code to support North arrows and scale bars in SkyJUMP. I want to thank Mattias for his good work in porting the capability, since I was too lazy. 8-) It may be useful to review this threadhttp://jump-pilot-devel-openjump-develop-and-use.1063199.n5.nabble.com/JPP-Devel-RenderingManager-modes-in-skyjump-td5708408.html#a5708423from March of last year on the same topic. regards, Larry Becker On Tue, Apr 1, 2014 at 6:45 AM, Rahkonen Jukka (Tike) jukka.rahko...@mmmtike.fi wrote: Hi, In my opinion SkyPrint is not really a printer plugin.

Re: [JPP-Devel] Integration of the SkyPrintPlugin into CORE
Thanks for the analysis Jukka Larry. So now my 2 cents: I haven't used SkyPrint but a couple of times Geoffs plugin. After reading Jukkas and Larry's comment I think we should put SkyPrint in Core, but maybe rename it Screen Print or PDF Print. This way it may also be clear what is does focus on, in comparison to Cadplans print plugin that does a lot more and is for plotting maps (do people still do that? ;). thanks to the programmers! cheers, stefan Am 01.04.14 09:46, schrieb Larry Becker: Jukka has it right.

Hi Stefan, there are still people who have to plot map, like me.

Hi Nice map! :) so you and Andrei, both impress me with what OJ can actually do. Yes, very impressive ! Let us know. How much was done with OpenJUMP ?

Recently I had to print again old GIS projects (geological maps) and I gave a chance to OpenJUMP/Cadplann printer with very nice results. I used embedded OJ geological symbols for point symbols For linear symbols I developed line symbol classes to use as decorations. And for areal symbols I simple used my own patterns with Geof's JumpFillPattern plugin (embedded into OJ PLus). I put a (sample map here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/opensit/files/Programmi%20e%20corsi/sample_maps/Auletta_geo.png/download. It is a low quality derived image from a high PDF export. Best regards Peppe 2014-04-01 18:11 GMT+02:00 Stefan Steiniger sst...@geo.uzh.ch mailto:sst...@geo.uzh.ch: Thanks for the analysis Jukka Larry. So now my 2 cents: I haven't used SkyPrint but a couple of times Geoffs plugin. After reading Jukkas and Larry's comment I think we should put SkyPrint in Core, but maybe rename it Screen Print or PDF Print. This way it may also be clear what is does focus on, in comparison to Cadplans print plugin that does a lot more and is for plotting maps (do people still do that? ;). thanks to the programmers! cheers, stefan Am 01.04.14 09 tel:01.04.14%2009:46, schrieb Larry Becker: Jukka has it right. I think of it as two parts: a printer (or PDF) driver, and a screen print utility. It should be possible for Cadplan to use the SkyPrint driver, just as it uses the ISA print driver now, if Geoff is willing. I would recommend that the SkyPrint driver be put in core so that developers can count on it being there. The only (minor) difficulty I see is the printing of the map furniture through iText. As I recall, I had to put in special code to support North arrows and scale bars in SkyJUMP. I want to thank Mattias for his good work in porting the capability, since I was too lazy. 8-) It may be useful to review this thread http://jump-pilot-devel-openjump-develop-and-use.1063199.n5.nabble.com/JPP-Devel-RenderingManager-modes-in-skyjump-td5708408.html#a5708423 from March of last year on the same topic. regards, Larry Becker On Tue, Apr 1, 2014 at 6:45 AM, Rahkonen Jukka (Tike) jukka.rahko...@mmmtike.fi mailto:jukka.rahko...@mmmtike.fi mailto:jukka.rahko...@mmmtike.fi mailto:jukka.rahko...@mmmtike.fi wrote: Hi, __ __ In my opinion SkyPrint is not really a printer plugin. It is rather an enhanced PrintScreen utility that sends the map from your screen to printer. It has some very good features which makes the print quality better than really using print screen or Save view as… option of OpenJUMP. These include some style adjustments and a possibility to double the raster image resolution. The unique feature in SkyPrint is that it can write out layered PDF where each map layer from OpenJUMP is written as a separate PDF layer. The visibility of layers can be controlled with the layer tool of Acrobat Reader. I am not sure if any other viewer support this feature. __ __ Why I would call it PrintScreen utility is that it is missing all features that printed maps tend to have: Title, legend, scale, North Arrow etc. __ __ The SkyPrint UI shows the advanced features it has but here is the list of enhancement option it has for those who have not tried it: - Remove transparency - Print page border - Remove fills from basic style - Remove fills for color themes - Adjust line width by percent - Double raster image resolution __ __ SkyPrint creates very good quality prints and layered PDF is very nice format for many purposes but SkyPrint as the only printing utility is rather limited. Better long termo option would be to enhance the Cadplan printer with PDF layers and quality enhancement options. __ __ -Jukka Rahkonen- __ __ __ __ Michael Michaud
