I got the labels to move around when you resize the graph, and changed
up my distortion metrics slightly. I was, like, yeah. This is good. Now
I can optimize my Tobler projection. And then I found out that the map
optimizer was assigning Tobler size distortions of .4! I'm just so
confused. So that's completely broken. I suppose once I figure this out,
it might help to explain why Tetrapower is so bad.
I spent a buttload of time working on the Tobler projection. It is now
unbearably slow and still has an average distortion of, like .04. It's
okay, though. I've got a plan to fix both of those problems. It involves
ordinary differential equations and inheritance. Nyeh heh heh heh heh!
All map-based Applications have been changed to make use of
MapApplication. Yay. I also fixed equal-area cylindrical to be real. Now
if only Tobler and the conic maps were real.
I added more inheritance. When I think of the word "inheritance", the
first thing that comes to mind is the above quote. It's from one of the
broadsheet articles in The Bands of Mourning. Actually, most of what I
did in this commit had to do with parametrization, not inheritance. Oh,
well. It's a good quote.
Maps can have parameters now. Woo. It's an opportunity that Equal-Area
Cylindrical (very simple), my made-up map projections (not that hard a
leap), and Winkel Tripel (surprisingly difficult) currently take
advantage of. I still need to make the conic projections be
parametrized, and Tobler once I can make it be real. I also still need
to make MapAnalyzer take advantage of this newfound inheritance.
That was... a lot. I decided to put some inheritance into the project,
and what a rabbit hole that turned out to be!
Huh. I think that may be the first time I've ever actually used an
"exclamatory statement". What a useless structure that is!
Anyway, both MapDesigners now inherit from the same abstract super
class. Eventually, I'll get MapAnalyzer to link to that, too. I also
changed a whole lot of other things, and started inserting parametric
map capacities. That should be a fun GUI thing to figure out. I also
changed a lot of other things that I can't remember off the top of my
head. I've just been dragging chunks of code around and swimming in
errors for the past week.
