This release contains several bug fixes, improvements and a few new features. See the Change log for more details. The ILWIS 3.8 Visualization reference document is available here.
Changes in 3.8.6:
- Restored the on-screen digitizer (create and edit point map, create and edit segment map)
- Restored the MapView functionality (the composition of several layers can be stored as a MapView, in order to be re-opened at a later time)
- Added support for grid-like georeferences with thousands of control points; for now, such a georeference can only be imported from external data
- Revision of the annotations to make them work correctly: grid, graticule, class legend, value legend, map border, scale bar, north arrow, whitespace tool
- Added Triple Collocation application
- Revised the Georeference Tiepoints editor
- Revised the Hovmoller, Track Profile and Cross Section tools
- Revised the animations and the Animation Management tool
- The mouse wheel now zooms in / out the MapWindow; if the previous behavior is required, this can be set in the ILWIS Preferences
- Improved robustness and correctness of CSV file importing
- A maplist can now be exported as multiband GeoTiff, ERDAS or ENVI format
- Added a spatial index to speed up selection in feature maps (segments, polygons)
- Added light options to 3D Extrusion
- In 3D view, objects are no longer disappearing when zooming in too much
- In 3D view, polygons no longer blend with each other when they are too near
- Restored the 3D cursor in the 3D Stack tool
- In 3D view, when zooming close, the rotation point changes to the viewpoint instead of the gravity center, which makes navigation easier
- Pixel size of submap georefs of latlonwgs84 maps is now expressed in degrees (previously in meters)
- Many consistency improvements in the Create GeoReference forms
- Pixelinfo can now be re-opened after it is closed
- Now it is possible to change the line style for polygon boundaries and for segment maps
- Restored the 3D self-height option in Maplist animation
- GDAL-Importing a single file with a single layer no longer results in an object collection
- Added "Lambert Conformal Conic 1972", "Lambert Conformal Conic 2008" and "Lambert Conformal Conic 1SP"
- Now opening a MapList that is inside an ObjectCollection works
- Enabled coloring Bool layers (previously the defaults could never be changed)
- Importing data where the source and destination folders differ from the current catalog now works
- When the display attribute of a pointmap/segmentmap/polygonmap is set to a column that has undefineds, now the undefined objects are hidden
- In 3D view, after setting a map to use 3D-heights, it is now possible to set it back to "None"
- Table import is now protected against duplicate column names
- Added North Arrow
- Export via GDAL (e.g. GTiff) in a folder with spaces now works properly
- The DEM hydro processing functions are now able to work with raster images larger than 6000x6000 pixels, without giving "Out of Memory" errors
- Edit->Copy on a MapWindow with a Legend now also copies the legend-texts
- Added support for Edit->Copy on a MapWindow containing a Space Time Cube and related elements (Space Time Path, Stations, 3D Windrose and Flocks)
- Choosing "black" as the symbol color for single colored maps now makes the symbols black instead of transparent
- The order of the SEBS applications menu is now the working order, instead of alphabetic
- The Table to Pointmap operation now gives correct values to the output map
- Solved occasionally showing '*' instead of the projected coordinates in the statusbar of the MapWindow
- In WMS/OSM services, added support for tiles with color palette, support for https, and support for additional request parameters
- The WMS/OSM tiles now connect seamlessly, if the available OpenGL version is at least 1.2
- Revised the Iso-lines application; now all contour levels are generated, and the "intervals" option works
- Solved: fonts (labels, annotations, space time cube axes and coordinates) did not display correctly on some graphics cards, looking transparent
- Viewing a classmap or a class attribute and turning classes on/off through the representation legend now works properly
- Revised the polygon to raster and the raster to polygon applications
- Solved: The Unique ID application was forgetting the first point
- The grid on curved images (using a tiepoint georeference set to "Full Second Order") is now drawn "curved"
- Graticule spacing is now expressed in Degrees, Minutes, Seconds (instead of Decimal Degrees)
- MapCalc now also works with images that are more than 32768 pixels wide; the limit is increased to 2 billion pixels wide(!)
- Added the Random Colors option to the possible color schemes for class maps
- Added option "Break Dependencies" on a "Dependent" Georeference like SubMap, which will replace it with a standalone Georeference Corners when possible
- Restored the ilwis.exe option –CR to start ILWIS in hidden-mainwindow mode; to start it without a command, the option is "–CR hide"; this is different than the -C option which will execute the command and close ILWIS
- Value images with very few values (e.g. 2 values) will now display with the correct colors
- SegmentMapGlue is now able to correctly glue segment maps that have different coordinate systems
- Importing tiff files with data type "unsigned integer" now works correctly (the range is 0-65535 instead of 0-32767)
- Operations "Iso Lines", "Voronoi" and "Point to Segment" are now properly categorized in the Right-mouse-button menu
- Wildcards are now allowed in command "crmaplist", for easier creation of maplists on the command-line
- It is now possible to use an attribute of domain "Color" to color a layer
- The Aggregate Maplist application is now also able to work with large maplists (previously it crashed after a certain threshold)
- Re-added the operations MapKrigingSimple, MapKrigingOrdinary, MapKrigingAnisotropic and MapKrigingUniversal
- The export of Color images into GeoTiff via the ILWIS export method is made faster
- The default color for single colored maps can now be set in the ILWIS Preferences
- Added more representations for value maps
- Many other minor bugs and glitches are solved
