Week 12 Report

GSoC QGIS 3D Improvement Week 12 Report

Detail

Period: 12 August 2019 - 18 August 2019

Report

1. What did I complete this week?
   • Debug "Changing symbol doesn't always change the billboard"
   • Get help from Martin to fix the problem. It's updated because QgsTerrainTextureImage thinks it doesn't need to update the symbol due to the same extent.
   • Removing unrelated UI (transformation and material widget) for the billboard
   • Add set height option for the height of the billboard
   • Save the billboard symbol as a symbol attribute (previously using serialization)
   • Add selected symbol for the billboard. It's showing a black-symbol, not yellow-symbol like a normal selected one.
   • Save the billboard symbol to the project.
   • Fix flipped billboard
   • Video about this progress: https://youtu.be/QZr16uq8Pco
2. What am I going to achieve for next week?
   • Addressing black selected symbol
   • Address size symbol issue
   • Finalize and submit PR
   • Write final report
3. Is there any blocking issue?
   • N/A
4. Code
   • Branch for billboard feature [1]
   • Repo for QT C++ billboard [3]
5. Misc
   • N/A
